Wow. Loving these reactions. Can't wait to listen. Did not expect "Best since Pinkerton" comments considering Thank God For Girls is in this album.
I just finished and it's good. Not sure how often I'll listen to the whole thing, but I did enjoy it.
@Jim I bought this at the Warsaw show the other night. Do you know what the pressing is? I think I read /400. I also bought the Warsaw poster (going to go in a sleeve with all the other posters I have no room to hang). I jetted to the merch table right before the encore to grab one and the merch guy say they printed 150. Said they had sold like 40. Woof...actually a good looking print too.
Thank God For Girls has definitely grown on me since first hearing it. Not my favorite song, but I won't skip it.
Nice! It said /400 when I snagged it online for the preorder...I dunno if that means 400 pressed or if 400 were available just for online pre order!
Summer Elaine is my favorite song they've done since Pinkerton, hands down. Wow. A radiohead reference and call back to Only in Dreams. And then the line about making him believe in god. so, so, so good.
This song is the one I'm not sold on yet. Overall, I like this record a lot. It's fun and the hooks get stuck in my head easily. I think I'll play it a lot once it gets a little bit warmer out.
The chorus is great but the rest of the song meh. The entire album didn't do much for me tbh, I preferred the last one
I don't care for the first verse of TGFG, and really it's just the first four lines or so, but I actually really dig the rest of it. I think it's some of the more....interesting lyrics he's written in a really long time. I really enjoy the last part of the 2nd verse and first part of the bridge especially. And I'll take Rivers taking a big risk with a song like this rather than the boring garbage that was on Rad.
Was loving "Endless Bummer" and then the drums kicked in and I was like this is going to end just like a great Weezer album should. Gave me goosebumps. I think I'm easily going to love this more than EWBAITE. So good.
Rivers mentions a 19 year old thing in one of the last couple tracks of the album, I kinda heard it and thought "what"
