Weezer - SZNZ (March 20, June 21, September 22, December 21, 2022) Album • Page 107

Ok human is too except for the songs that are bad

 

Van Weezer is also goated

honestly the only Weezer record I flat out hate is Raditude - even make believe has a lot of great songs

 

I don’t like van weezer haha

 

Red, Raditude and Make Believe all have four songs that are keepers for me. Red easily has the best good songs though

 

Make believe is sick as hell

 

Perfect Situation is the only great song on the album, the rest are bad or ok at best

 

I love this band

 

the humble This is Such a Pity:

 

The run of Perfect Situation to Peace on Make Believe is fantastic. The rest isn’t great but those 4 I go back to all the time

 

First to admit I have a nostalgic bias, but Make Believe is much better than it gets credit for. It doesn't get much better than "This is Such a Pity" or "Haunt You Every Day"

 

Agreed. "The Damage in Your Heart" is my personal favorite.

 

Make Believe rules

 

Perfect Situation is an underrated mid-career single

 

Perfect Situation, Pity, Damage and Freak Me Out are my keepers on there

 

I honestly just skip Beverly Hills and play the rest of the album lol

 

I love Beverly Hills lol

 

I was 10 years old when Make Believe came out and I cannot remember being more disappointed with any album I've ever bought.

I've come around on a few tracks, but when ranking Weezer albums I honestly forget it even exists.

 

Make believe is very bad but I can appreciate Bev hills as a good single and haunt you every day as a good song

van weezer is mostly great though so maybe I’m weird. “what if they took the best ten songs combined from van weezer and ok human and met somewhere in the middle in terms of gimmicks?” is among the bigger weezer missed opportunities to me, there is some real bullshit on both but a GREAT batch of songs in there.

 

I was older but had the same experience

 

My unpopular Weezer opinion is that OK Human is much closer to their bad/ignore pile than their good pile. I sorta like a few songs, like Aloo Gobi, but Weezer without their Weezer guitars just has very little appeal to me. It also feels like an album artists make as they age where they just slow everything down and accept being easy listening. If you told me Rivers was in an accident and broke his hip or leg and wrote an album of songs that would be easier for him to perform sitting down in a chair during live shows, I would believe you.

 

I love OK Human. I think my most unpopular Weezer take is Pacific Daydream is top 5 to me

 

OK Human is great, Make Believe is good, Hurley is just okay

I cannot fathom being 10 and being disappointed with a Weezer album, lol. But I was also 10 and it was probably the first full album I heard by them, so

 

I remember the hype sticker on it having the pull quote “Their best since ‘Pinkerton’!” and I thought that meant they were back in their super fuzzy, sad bag. That was not the case. I still think there’s about half good and half bad on there. “We Are All On Drugs” is for sure a low point.

 

I can't begin to picture taking ideas from OK Human and Van Weezer and putting that into one album lol

 

What an insult to the previous two albums, especially Maladroit lol
