Weezer - SZNZ (March 20, June 21, September 22, December 21, 2022) Album • Page 83

It'll be interesting to see how the Pink album shapes up next year lol. Most of it is cowrites with a Swedish hit writer so we'll see. I need them to make an album so bad its actually good

 

This is new information to me lol where did you read about this?

 

Rivers is pretty active and transparent on his Discord server. There's this unhinged fan forum called AllThingsWeezer that compiles this kinda info lol very interesting place

 

Oh boy

 

20 months without a Weezer album is the equivalent to 10 years for any other musical artist.

 

Rivers with Swedish hit makers honestly just feels like black album. Black album feels like what I imagine people who don’t listen to or like rock music think an eclectic guitar/rocking record sounds like.

 

We went five years without anything in the 90s!!!

 

I technically wasn’t born yet when Pinkerton came out so it didn’t bother me back then lol

 

I like how you clarify it's just a technicality that you weren't alive

 

Because I was born 3 days later haha

 

I am "first heard Weezer via a portable cassette player" years old

 

I got blue, Pinkerton, green, and maladroit on the same day from BMG music group and that was enough music to last me months

 

I want the Periwinkle Album.

 

My first Weezer exposure was the Happy Days video on MTV and I was too young to understand the clear parody/VFX. I wasn’t entirely sure if Weezer were actually an old band and the song was old.

 

I remember seeing the "Beverly Hills" music video on MTV when I was in fifth grade, asking my brother to burn the CD for me, and him being like "Sure, but you should probably listen to these two first" lol. Shockingly, he gave me Maladroit and Green, not Blue and Pinkerton. I remember hearing "American Gigolo" for the first time and hardly believing it was the same band, lol

 

fixed it for ya

 

I checked out of Weezer after Blue (I was like 8 and busy enough with Green Day and Sugar Ray and Blink 182 to follow their subsequent albums) but I remember my friends’ reactions to Make Believe was the first time I took in and realized the phenomenon of Weezer fans actively hating some of their music.

 

Not me lol but perhaps I was the perfect age for their turn towards pop-rock. They'd already kind of done it with The Green Album, so hearing those albums all around the same time didn't feel like that much of a stylistic leap to me

 

I am "was 5 years late of being an actual classmate of Rivers" years old

 

Y'all use weird metrics to measure time. I'm 29

 

I was born the year Pinkerton came out. That’s all I got

 

All that bonus content in the box set but not including the b-sides/bonus tracks of that era is so stupid lol

 

man is this too steep to splurge on lol
