Weezer - SZNZ (March 20, June 21, September 22, December 21, 2022) Album • Page 88

Humbled and flattered to have a handsome legend like Keanu portray me, Rivers Cuomo’s enemy as a Weezer fan who loves their good music and despises their bad music.

 

I wonder if he’ll play himself in Dogstar

 

I'm all in

 

Not a Scott Pilgrim fan but that sounds pretty good

 

Oh HELL YEAH

 

Do other people know this Almost Weezer YouTube page? Holy shit, this stuff is amazing, especially the Haunt You Every Day.

 

It got a good overall reception I think and it avoids being one of the cringey Weezer records but I was so bummed by OK Human because it’s 3-4 best songs would be all-time top Weezer songs if they were recorded with Weezer guitars and the faux-messier production of Pinkerton or even the white album. I feel like good/off-the-rails Rivers is the dichotomy we kinda need more than good/plain-and-straightforward Rivers.

 

OK Human really clicked for me especially at the time it came out. I’d put it in their top 5

 

I prefer OK Human over Van Weezer, tbh

 

From my experience, hardcore fans of Weezer, Alkaline Trio and Metallica hate at least 50% of the output those bands have released.

 

Without a doubt. Van Weezer feels like cosplay. Fun, but forced. And "Hero" is a bad song.

OK Human could definitely be top five for them.

 

I never understood the love for ok human. Zero good songs

 

Steve.

 

:/

 

WOOF

 

Awful take

"Aloo Gobi," "Numbers," "La Brea Tar Pits..." come on man

 

Terrible bad and bad

 

Ghost Diaper liked my comment so I'm clearly in the right

 

I think All My Favorite Songs is their best single since, idk, Red Album? But unfortunately agree the rest of that album does nothing for me

 

That song is actually good, good point

 

Agreed — at least that it’s the only song I really liked on OK Human.

 

End of the game is their best late-period single

 

OK Human is like watching a Nic Cage movie where he plays it real and normal.

Even if the album is not great, like Van Weezer, I want Rivers to play Weezer guitars and be a weird little guy. Stripping out a lot of that made OK Human feel kinda boring for a band that is at least a spectacle of weirdness and bizarre choices when they’re at their worst.
