Alright, second try with this album and it absolutely jams. Beginning of the End is pretty easily my favorite track and She Needs Me is up there too, but the whole album's just super fun. Side note: is anyone else being reminded of Fuck Art by The Dirty Nil? Precious Metal Girl especially reminds me of it.
Wonder how differently OK Human and Van Weezer would be received if they were released in reverse order like initially planned.
"The first half of the album—beginning with the Def Leppard bombast of “The End Of The Game”’s opening riffage, and ending with the ruefully ironic passage-of-time tribute of “Beginning Of The End”—is one of the strongest runs of songs, start to finish, since the Green Album, even more so than the White Album." that's... one opinion
How do you compare a song to Def Leppard when it’s a Van Halen riff on an album called Van Weezer lmao
True. It's not that good of one either. Would make for a pretty good EP without the the first four tracks.
If I’ve learned anything about Weezer fans, it is to never take anyone’s word on what’s good or bad by them. Aside from the first two, opinions on the rest of their albums are vast and inconsistent. Lol EDIT: Queue SNL sketch
Pretty sure I'm gonna really enjoy this album but I'm sure OK Human alone is a stronger run of songs, forget putting it above White lol
My Pacific Daydream EP would probably be: Mexican Fender Happy Hour Weekend Woman Sweet Mary La Mancha Screwjob Any Friend Of Diane’s
I came here to chew bubblegum and defend Pacific Daydream... *puts on They Live sunglasses* and I'm all out of bubblegum.
