Weezer - Weezer (The Black Album) (March 1, 2019) Album • Page 51

King of the World is probably in the top 5 - definitely with El Scorcho, The Sweater Song, Buddy Holly, etc.

Also, Hot Take: I will meet anyone who doesn't love Beverly Hills in the rage cage to throw down.

 

Great read, especially some new insight near the end!

 

I got your back for the Beverly Hills love. But King of the World a top 5 Weezer song? Nahhhhhhhhhh.

 

“
Cuomo said the group is almost finished with another album, one he described as “piano-based, very eccentric, with strings already recorded at Abbey Road.” (Its working title is “OK Human,” after Radiohead’s “OK Computer,” though the singer identified his musical inspirations as George Gershwin and “Nilsson Sings Newman.”)

But that won’t necessarily be the one to come out first after the Black Album, Cuomo cautioned as he walked me to the door. He’s also working on a project called “Van Weezer,” about which he said, “You can probably figure out the concept from the title alone.”

Whaaaaaattttt

 

King of the World is definitely my favorite recent Weezer song

 

King of the World isn’t even top five on the white album

 

Just listened to White yesterday, I love King Of The World but it's still probably only above TGFG for me tbh. Such a great album

 

thank god for girls is the best song on white

 

Whoa that's the hottest take I've ever seen

 

yeah the former is also produced by Jake Sinclair (who did White) so hype blasters at full people

 

Exactly! I'd give that to Wind in Our Sails, California Kids, Summer Elaine, LA Girlz and Thank God

 

That is such a Rivers thing to do haha

 

I don't know about the best song on the album, but the chorus is a blast. Not on board for the hate this song gets

 

I actually think TGFG has an awful chorus but the verses are genius and some of the funniest/cleverest Rivers has written. Like "microwaved it on the popcorn setting" alone is God tier! The song probably didn't need to be on White but as it stands it's great

 

also LA Girlz is the best on that album and a top 3 Weezer cut, don't @ me

 

I'm not even hating on TGFG but something has to be last even on a great album lol

 

I NEED this.

 

Man I'm on such a Weezer kick now.

Today I reiterate how great an album Maladroit is

 

High As a Kite is so good

 

It may be as perfect as their poppy side gets for me

 

I also listened to White for the first time in a while yesterday. That thing is so good. I skip no tracks.

 

“I can fly up to the stratosphere, high above the cirrus clouds” has been stuck in my head since yesterday

 

OK Human and Van Weezer. LFG.

 

Wait...but what is it? Weezer songs Van Morrison-style? Van Halen-style? While they're wearing Vans? Recorded in a van?
