River's explanation of the EPs on Conan's podcast made me realize the differences between the three, and excited for Winter. Basically each EP is defined by a mood and a musical style. Spring= happiness/Island In the Sun style. Summer= Anger/90s alternative style. Autumn= anxious/dance rock. Winter = sadness/Elliot Smith style
Spun through these 3 EP's yesterday and I really like them. Weezer fans can be a salty bunch but I like how Rivers can now write songs like "Little Bit Of Love" and they can be taken at face value and not some perceived smirking irony underneath it.
This single feels on par with the rest of the EPs. Kinda fun to hear snippets of “classic Weezer” and other interesting half-ideas but the overall songs don’t feel fleshed out and well-edited, IMO. Feels very much like a “song a day” challenge/experiment project rather than studio album level tracks. #catowner
