Yeah the only bad albums for me are the Make Believe to Hurley era. I could make a 10 track list outa those, though.
To be clear, I don't have too many issues with most of their albums outside of Raditude and maybe some of Hurley. I just did the 10-track post pinkerton album because someone on the last page mentioned it.
Make Believe through Hurley: 1. Perfect Situation 2. This Is Such A Pity 3. The Damage In Your Heart 4. Pork and Beans 5. The Angel And The One 6. King 7. If You're Wondering If I Want You To 8. Put Me Back Together 9. Memories 10. Ruling Me 11. Unspoken 12. Run Away 13. Hang On The Angel And The One is a great closer so I'll prob arrange these with that last on Spotify
1. Perfect Situation 2. This Is Such a Pity 3. Haunt You Every Day 4. Pork and Beans 5. Angel and The One 6. King 7. Pig 8. If You're Wondering 9. Put Me Back Together 10. I Don't Want To Let You Go
Make Believe to Hurley era: 1) Perfect Situation 2) Peace 3) Troublemaker 4) Greatest Man Who Ever Lived 5) Pork and Beans 6) Heart Songs 7) Angel and The One 8) If You're Wondering If I Want You To I Want You To 9) Ruling Me 10) Run Away Honorable mentions: Hold Me, Haunt You Everyday, Miss Sweeney
Post Pinkerton album tracklisting: California Kids Wind In Our Sail Thank God For Girls (Girl We Got A) Good Thing Do You Wanna Get High? King Of The World Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori L.A. Girlz Jacked Up Endless Bummer
Weezer - Pacific Daydream • chorus.fm (Proud of myself for not mentioning Pinkerton, or come to think of it, any Weezer album pre-Make Believe)
The Fray's version of "Mahna Mahna" from that is surprisingly good and maybe the best thing they ever recorded. My kids love that song, so sometimes I play this one instead of the original. Or the Cake version.
I was pretty high on White for a while, but it really didn't have any staying power with me. It's down with Raditude for my least favorite Weezer album.
Jacked Up the weakest track on White? What universe have I stumbled into? That’s a great bit of more modern experimentation by Weezer, and I’m usually not a fan when they go for that sound. For example, the bonus remix version is pretty much unlistenable.
"Jacked Up" suffers from the same faults as the last three songs on this album: it's bland, generic-sounding indie-pop that's only considered "experimental" because it's Weezer. The only track on White Album I could potentially see being "worse" is "Thank God for Girls" (which I eventually came around on), but it's still thoroughly more interesting than "Jacked Up"
Rivers is on this week's You Made It Weird fyi Haven't listened yet but I imagine that could be pretty interesting
