Weezer - Pacific Daydream (October 27, 2017) Album • Page 19

The five songs out right now hit me hard this weekend. Officially very excited to hear the rest.

 

Watch this. It's fascinating the way that Rivers hears music

 

"Knuckle Puck."

"Nickleback?"

"She said Knuckle Butt."

 

Was literally about to submit my review for tomorrow but now I'm considering rewording some things because it's so depressing how clearly Rivers longs for some form of mainstream radio recognition post-"Bevery Hills" and how it's just not going to happen. Gah.

 

Almost done with my discography runthrough to prepare for the new album and it only reaffirmed my belief that Hurley is extremely underrated. Better than both Green and Red and definitely Make Believe and Raditude

 

Feels Like Summer was getting a lot of radio play for a while around here, but yea nothing like back in the day.

 

Every time I go to the gym, no matter what time of the day, Feels Like Summer is always playing.

 

Do either of you happen to know if it's college radio/some kind of online station or a mainstream pop/rock station?

 

Not college, it’s Buffalo’s main alternative rock radio.

 

Review submitted, should be up today or tomorrow.

1. Blue
2, Pinkerton
3. Maladroit
4. Everything Will Be Alright in the End
5. White
6. Green
7. Make Believe
8. Pacific Daydream
9. Hurley
10. Red
11. Raditude

 

Pretty much exactly my ranking so if it's better than Hurley, that's not terrible for me

 

I haven't heard all of Pacific Daydream but the rest would be pretty similar to my ranking. I would just switch Red and Hurley.

 

Hurley is such a weird album because the songs aren't bad (for the most part) but something about it just feels...sterile. Like, the most generic parts of this album still somehow manage to feel more genuine. It's hard to explain.

 

"Memories" was also in Jackass 3D and that's all I can think of when I hear anything off Hurley.

 

Knuckle Butt


Hilarious.

 

This will not be a landmark album for them. It feels more like a reimagining of the White Album, which felt more like something of a landmark. Still, I am sure I will enjoy it.

 

Leaked

 

7/10 for me on the first listen.

Feels like Summer, QB Blitz, and Sweet Mary don't do it for me.

I do enjoy the direction they went. Hopefully they got it out of their system with this release. Need more nerd rock riffs. On to the Black Album we go.

PS. I REALLY REALLY like La Mancha Screwjob. Super fun and catchy.

 

this is insanity to me

 

Outside of "Beach Boys" this is a really good record. Not as good as White, but much better than that terrible stretch of records from a few years ago.

 

They'll probably grow on me with more listens. Weezer always does.

 

First listen is more enjoyable than I expected, but definitely a super.... uninspired? pop album

 

Need to find this. Happy Hour has had me very optimistic for this record.

 

That was amazing. And also a reminder how quickly time has passed since I last saw them up close.
