Weezer - Pacific Daydream (October 27, 2017) Album • Page 28

It’s a fun song, but being from the Midwest I could not care less about surfing.

 

The bridge of Surf Wax is one of the best parts of the whole album

 

Happy Hour is definitely my favorite, which is funny because every review I've read cites it as the worst song.

 

Also I'm gonna open up a bit here and admit in my 16 years of weezer obsession this is quite possibly the first time I realized surf wax is two words

 

Not when "Beach Boys" exists

 

Alright I’m gonna do an album ranking because I like rankings.

Blue
Pinkerton
White
Green
Maladroit
EWBAITE
Pacific Daydream
Red
Make Believe
Hurley
Ratitude

I like stuff from basically every album though

 

pinkerton
blue
green
red
rad
hurley
make believe

never listened to any other record. ewba, white, and this new one have me interested to change that fact tho...some day

 

I would for sure recommend the last 3. It’s definitely a late career renaissance.

 

I can't believe a song as good as Tragic Girl was kept hidden for so long. That's a top 5 Weezer song to me

 

Sort of want them to release one more summer/beach album so we can have a trilogy. Love trilogies. Big trilogy guy here.

 

I also love hearing “Eulogy for a Rock Band” immediately after “Back to the Shack” and thinking this is the same song done about million times better.

 

Eulogy for a Rock Band is one of the best post-Pinkerton songs, I think.

 

It took 15 years, but Scott finally learned how to play bass between White and this album

 

I really don't like EWBAITE much at all but the chorus of Da Vinci is the greatest

 

this is really really not good. oh well, was hoping they could keep the streak going.

 

dislike ^

The only pre-release song I really dug was "Feels Like Summer." When I listened to the whole record for the first time, the latter half seemed strongest (the non-singles). At this point, all of the singles have grown on me and I really like this front to back. Only song I skip right now is FLS because I played it out months ago haha.

 

Pretty much exactly the same. I listened to Mexican Fender exactly twice before the album came out and didn't like Beach Boys or Happy Hour much at all. FLS is also my only sometimes-skip now.

 

ive only had 1 listen so who knows, maybe itll grow on me! idk theres a song or 2 here i like but nothing really grabbed me like the last two. time will tell

 

My wife loves FLS so we play it quite a bit. But this album has grown on me. Beach Boys and Get Right are the only two tracks I skip right now.

 

I like this better than EWBAITE. That album has some great songs but seemed like they were trying too hard to be the band they used to be. I dig “White” because it feels like a great mix of old Weezer and new Weezer. I like this album because it just feels fresh, and executed better than their older attempts at pop.

That being said, I found it interesting that Rivers said the last two records were basically just to regain respect within the fan base again so they could get another swing at pop music. If I could find the interview again I’ll link. That’s kind of what I thought about EWBAITE when it came out

 

youuu take your carrr to worrrk

i'lll take my booooooard

 

"Get Right" rules -- and I'm not afraid to declare it the best track overall!!

 

EWB is their third best album for me

 

I do not get the love for Maladroit.

 

Ooof this didn't debut well. Debuted at #22 with 21k sold (sales + streaming). Thats a pretty big drop from the White Album that debuted at #4 with something like 50k.
