I am more of "I thought you would always be my friend.. Now everything must end.. And so the world moves on.. And everything must change.."
First Track he wanted to go back there.. at track 06 he realized that he had to move on :( sad.. I know..
Maladroit is definitely solid. Hurley has a few good tracks, but nothing more, haha. I even have nostalgia attached to Raditude and Hurley and I'm pretty sour on them.
yea, its a really bad record. but I'm glad you enjoy it. Make Believe/Hurley/Raditude in some order are the worst things they have done. Green Album is ok, but "Island in the Sun" is worth more than all records listed above. Its also bolstered by the mythology surrounding the band at the time. It was such a hard right turn after Pinkerton that I can't help but find it compelling, and its essential to their story. Blue and Pinkerton are rock canon, and two of my personal favorite records of all time, Ive never heard someone say they would skip a single song on Blue. So thats a first. Maladroit/White/EWBAITE are all solid albums with a handful of really good songs each. Red is weird enough for me to appreciate it, even if there are more misses than hits.
Should I say it...? Raditude Deluxe Edition - "Prettiest Girl in the whole wide world" is in my top 10 weezer songs..here it is.. i said it.. kill me now
Okay fine here it goes Blue > White > Pinkerton > Green > Maladroit > EWBAITE > Make Believe > Hurley > Raditude > Red
Wow White so high.. over Pinkerton!! So happy to hear that.. probably my no.1 summer-ish album ever! Shall we post our Top 10 Weezer tracks aswell? Really curious to see your picks
Personal Top 10 Weezer tracks 1. Death and Destruction 2. Across The Sea 3. Slave 4. Only In Dreams 5. Island in the Sun 6. Hold Me 7. Run Away 8. Trainwrecks 9. Prettiest Girl in the whole wide world 10. Endless Bummer You can tell I like more the emo side of Weezer than their fun summerish style.
My top 10 weezer tracks are: Tired of Sex Getchoo No Other One Why Bother? Across the Sea The Good Life El Scorcho Pink Triangle Falling for You Butterfly In no order.
Hurley is bottom three imo. It's a weird album that isn't so much "bad" as it is really uninteresting and feels like a bridge between the ultra-shiny Raditude-Weezer and recent Weezer renaissance. Rivers was on autopilot for a lot of those lyrics, and the quality of these past two albums has just totally overshadowed most (if not all) of it. About half of that album is good, but "Where's My Sex?," "Smart Girls" and "Brave New World" are all really, really bad. Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'll go to bat for Make Believe before the Red Album.
Top 10 songs 1. Longtime Sunshine 2. Tragic Girl 3. Only In Dreams 4. Say It Ain't So 5. Across The Sea 6. Falling For You 7. Butterfly 8. Foolish Father 9. The Good Life 10. Tired of Sex
1. Longtime Sunshine 2. Buddy Holly 3. Tired of Sex 4. California Kids 5. Perfect Situation 6. Go Away 7. My Name Is Jonas 8. Miss Sweeney 9. LA Girlz 10. You Won't Get With Me Tonight
White Album and Everything Will Be Alright In The End were their best albums in years. Not to until these two new songs yet but still interested in what the rest of the album is like.
It's funny, because at the time I remember listening to Hurley and enjoying it much, much more than Raditude, but EWBAITE have definitely put it in a different context.
EWBAITE has like 2 good songs on it and that is my worst Weezer opinion. So many people love it and say it was such a return to form, but I like it about as much as Hurley and Raditude. Blue, Pinkerton, and White are the only good Weezer albums all the way through. Luckily those are perfect albums, which makes them one of my favorite bands.
White is a 10/10 album for me. I liked Cleopatra and Lonely Girl, and have an affinity for Go Away because of Bethany.
fine my top ten in no particular order 1. Say It Ain't So 2. Undone (The Sweater Song) 3. El Scorcho 4. The Good Life 5. Keep Fishin' 6. Island In The Sun 7. Perfect Situation 8. Jamie 9. (If You're Wondering If I want You To) I Want You To 10. gonna cheat and put Hash Pipe/Dope Nose tied because my brain links them
