Weezer - Van Weezer (May 7, 2021) Album • Page 75

I don't know what that is. I just know there are awkward edits on the album version that struck me as bad.

 

Hero's totally fine, people in here are acting like it's Where's My Sex

 

Can someone explain what makes Hero so bad? I legitimately don’t understand the intense hatred.

 

DITTO for me.

 

A YouTube reviewer and he mentioned the fact that he like that version more about 10 times in the video.

 

Oh, yeah, no clue.

 

I’m loving this thing. I agree that Hero isn’t the best choice as an opener, but in the third slot on Apple Music it works so well, Pat saving the snare for the last chorus is brilliant. Every chorus on the album is tight as hell, my favourite right now being All the Good Ones. And when the Crazy Train riff comes in in the outro of Blue Dream it actually feels profound (though I’ve no idea what the point is just yet).

I’ve Thrown It All Away is a 10/10 song, the closest the band has come to sounding like Blue since Pinkerton imo, but if not a bonus track it’d be better saved for an entirely different album anyway

I LOVE OK Human but I’m more excited to listen to Van Weezer rn

 

It should definitely start with the wild tapping on "The End of the Game" – but I understand why "Hero" is the first track.

 

Looks like the Box Set is sold out now.

 

I don’t understand: is Hero the first track or The End of the Game? Because on Apple Music it’s the latter.

 

it’s hero
Initially it was end of the game but online digital retailers never changed it

 

OK Human is the best Weezer album, fight me. I’ve listened to it probably 100 times.

I also... weirdly don’t hate Van Weezer. I thought it was going to be dumb. It is dumb, but in a cute wholesome way, and some of the songs are actually pretty good. I mean with how much Weezer we are getting, can’t really complain.

 

This is like 2 songs away from being my favorite weezer since maladroit lol

 

Didn't we just have this conversation like a page or two back? Lol I don't think it's SO bad, it's just pretty easily the worst song here, the superhero references are corny (and not in a fun Weezer way), feels plastic/hollow (to me), sounds like it was written for a movie soundtrack or inspirational junior high assemblies. All things considered, just a bizarre choice for an opening track

 

I have pretty much never listened to much Weezer but I checked this out today and OK Human for the first time.

There was some stuff on here I enjoyed. But I surprisingly really really liked OK Human.

 

Hero is fine it just feels like a Crush gimmick song to me

 

This is about to get the gym test from me, this is probably gonna be my main workout album for the summer haha

 

“Hero” reminds me of those FOB songs that seemed recorded specifically to be in movies and highlight reels. (ie. “Centuries”, “My Songs Know...”, “Champion”, “irresistible” etc)

which just kind of annoys me. It’s like their “My House” or “Roar” or “Fight Song”.

 

"Hero" was also an actual hit, so they did something right.

 

Hero is an enjoyable song, but I find the pre-chorus rather jarring. It just sounds wrong to m. Chorus itself is HUGE though.

 

Exactly what I mean by a Crush song.

 

I’m a Weezer fan. I can do cheese. But the “hero” cheese just doesn’t land for me personally. It’s a fine song but I’m just not into it

 

for sure. it’s not one of their worst. just not good haha

 

almost every Weezer album has that "type" of song and Hero is probably the least offensive of them in recent memory haha

 

1 More Hit fucks
