Weezer - Van Weezer (May 7, 2021) Album • Page 13

I can’t wrap my head around Black. It’s so fucking weird haha

 

Revisiting some of these old compilations we did on here

 

Excellent album art haha

 

Forgot Black existed.

 

There's a really solid album if you mash together the best stuff on PD with the best stuff on Black

 

agreed. love "Byzantine", "High as a Kite" and "I'm Just Being Honest" shamelessly though

 

Haven't revisited Black as much as I'd hoped but there are some winners for sure. Still head over heels for Pacific Daydream, that one really, really grew on me

 

Listening to a lot of Fountains of Wayne today obviously, and there’s so much similarity in the songwriting with what 2000s Weezer was doing.

 

Traffic and Weather is like if Hurley was good

 

Black is the first record I listened to of theirs since Hurley and it was terrible, probably my least favorite record of theirs. I've heard good things about White though, will eventually give it a listen.

 

Oh you gotta get on White and Everything Will Be Alright In the End

 

In my world, they haven't released an album since White. Great record.

 

Agreed...White, to me, was front to back, their best work since Green

 

If you ignore the last two albums you miss some gems like Byzantine

 

And "QB Blitz"

 

There is definitely some good tunes on every album but I’d say a large portion of albums have a less than 50% success rate

 

Make Believe through Hurley they probably average being 70% bad tbh. I'm just shocked that on every album they managed to have songs that I fully love lol

 

They're a good band that happens to make questionable records lol I love 'em though

 

Pacific Daydream is v v good.

 

Being a Weezer fan is a rollercoaster for sure. No other band makes me feel so differently every album. I have never had a band go from love to really dislike and then back to love so hard through their discography (though post white has been on the downward trend again for me aside from a handful of super solid tracks on PD and Black)

 

i don't know how it's possible but i think "don't let go" is my favorite weezer song. somehow it's the one i listen to most.

 

13 studio albums.

I love 6 of them.
I hate 7 of them.

 

Love - Blue, Pinkerton, Maladroit, EWBAITE, White

Like - Green, PD, Black

Meh - Red, Hurley

Hate - MB, Raditude

 

Raditude is the closest I get to hate but even that has like 2 or 3 songs I love. And I kind of appreciate the weirdness that caused some terrible albums that made me not a fan for awhile.

But I'd give love to Blue, Pinkerton, Maladroit, White, EWBAITE and Green.

 

Love - Blue, Pinkerton, Maladroit, White

Like - Green, EWBAITE

Meh - Red, Hurley, Pacific Daydream

Hate - MB, Raditude, Black
