Soda Jerk Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Didn't realise Maladroit was so disliked. The riffs are solid. Great album. It's probably the one I listen to most actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I bought the 'Buddy Holly' single when it came out but the only album I owned for years was the Green one because I thought 'Hash Pipe' was a total tune and a half. Which I still do. I bought the Blue album 2nd hand recently, I didn't hate it but I wasn't blown away either. Maybe I need to investigate some others if I can get 'em cheap....

Lemonade Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 After a few listens, this album isn't nearly as wretched as I had orignally thought. Don't get me wrong, it's not a good album, but if you skip the awful rap song (Can't Stop Partying) and the weird Bhangra one (Love Is The Answer) then the rest of it is mostly the 4-chord rock that Weezer do so well. The problem is that compared to the stuff on their other albums they all sound like B-sides that weren't good enough to make the albums. There's not really one track that would get onto Blue, or Green, or even Maladroit on merit. It's not terrible, but it's so very very average. Still better than Red though.You know what the problem is with the last two albums? They don't sound like they're enjoying it any more.

Soda Jerk Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I always thought that Weezer sounded like they were enjoying it too much. Cuomo needs to get his heart ripped out and shat on by a stampede of those beautiful asian women he digs so much. Perhaps he'll then grow a beard and become a batshit mental recluse again, forcing himself to write great songs.Can't stop partying? The girl got hot? I'm the greatest man that ever lived? He's loving life too much. Killing his family or something would probably do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Seemingly The Weez were dropped from Geffen in December and are "unsure what their future is". Sad if they split up because I've been a fan for many years, but they've been horse for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Sharp is the boss. I love the Rentals. Return of the Rentals is better than anything Weezer did post Pinkerton, except Maladroit, which is pure shameless cock rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Weezer signing to Epitaph is weird. Brett Gurewitz lost his marbles many years ago. He dropped all the bands that helped get his label off the ground, and replaced them with weird electronica, and other gastly shite.I can't imagine there's much chance Weezer are going to release a good record again anyway.

The last two have been horrible, I think their number is well and truly up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I'd say last 3. Make Believe did nothing for me, and my first impression of it was the singles, which initially put me off completely. Their number was probably up long ago, but they ignored it.Maladroit is still ace. Still the one I listen to most. Silly riffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I liked Make Believe. I've gone into the last two albums with a sense of optimism. "This is going to be a great album". And inevitably ended up disappointed. I'm expecting this one to be shite, so hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.Raditude man. What the fuck where they thinking? I could write a better Weezer album than that. Four chords. Fuzz. Harmony. It's easy! No rapping. No Lady Gaga style electronica. No guest appearances from Lil' Wayne. No Bollywood singing.
