Weezer - Pacific Daydream (October 27, 2017) Album • Page 14

Do we know for sure we are still getting the Black Album?

 

Yes, according to the Zane Lowe interview when PD was announced the Black Album is nearly finished. Buuut from what I've heard Rivers say it's going to be them in full on radio pop mode. Pacific Daydream is essentially the transition between White and Black.

 

Interesting. They do radio pop insanely well, so I hope it's good.

 

I really love Tripping Down the Freeway from Raditude and Ruling Me from Hurley. I find Hurley underrated in general though

 

I forgot how good Ruling Me is!! It is insane how unbelievably inconsistent they can be. They've written some of the best in the genre, and some of the worst ever.

 

Who tryna help me cop river's hard drive and leak ecce homo

 

My dude

 

Wait I thought the Black Album was going to be "darker"

 

You'd think that would make sense. I'd like a slightly darker Weezer, I mean White was already pretty poppy.

 

Hurley is so underrated

 

I was thinking The Black Album would be Pinkerton or Maladroit type writing

 

CONFESSION: I actually enjoy I Can't Stop Partying. It's so ridiculous it's enjoyable. (Although I prefer the solo acoustic version).

Also, Unspoken off Hurley is one of my favorite Weezer song of the 2000s.

 

I said it a few pages back, I'll say it again. I feel they are doing GREAT since Hurley (2010) Songs like Trainwrecks, Hang On and Run Away proved (to me) that they still got it. The outro from "Run Away" (starts at 2:00) comes really close to "Only in Dreams" levels of epic-ness IMO. Can't believe there are people here who rank Hurley lower than Red/Rad.. It's just sad

 

By darker he didn't mean like Pinkerton or Maladroit. He kept on talking about groups like 21 Pilots being a big influence on his writing for Black. We'll see.

 

If The Black Album is more like Jacked Up than I'm You Daddy, I'll probably love it

 

Jacked Up is probably more like it, though I'd love something in the vein of Unspoken.

 

Interesting. Trying to imagine what a Weezer with sensible, slightly dark and actually fully coherent lyrics would sound like.

 

Weezer citing Twenty One Pilots as an influence is kind of insane

 

well fuck

the renessaince was fun while it lasted

 

For real. I want off this wild ride.

 

Wish we could turn back time
To the good old days
When Rivers would sing good songs
But now we're stressed out

 

New song is out there

I've accepted that this will be an incredibly poppy album but this song is super catchy so I don't mind

 

This song is really good

 

Pretty good song. Really like the bridge.
