Sounds uninspired. Lyrics attempt to be specific but just don't really work, I can't place why exactly. I like that the solo hangs on the IV, that's about it. Seems like the only thing that's benefitted from playing together is the drums. The guitars are just kind of punching in to their power chord 9 to 5, on Pinkerton they were often doing cool contrasting parts

Why does it all have to sound so soft? Bring back that Pinkerton production for fuck sakes

Pinkerton was when they tried to be authentic, they got scared of how the normies reacted to this and decided to just do mainstream radio music from then on (and seem to be quite happy doing that).

Weezer have exactly two good albums, and they are their first two albums. If they had quit after Pinkerton nothing of value would have been lost.

no, the white album is up there too

stop coping

Something deeply embarrassing about being nearly 60 and still making pop punk.

>zoomers literally pick the worst song off an amazing album to meme into popularity
>Rivers thinks people actually want to hear his pop stuff again
>makes another trash duet
GOD I HATE TIKTOK GENERATION

great song for a band 30 odd years into their career.

I’m not even talking lyrically though. Instrumentally, it should sound grittier like Pinkerton again. They’ve been making Disney rock for years now

>>130561839
they've been phoning it in since Red Album.

Surprised Rivers hasn't programmed a local music generation AI and fed all of his spreadsheets of riffs and lyrics into it by now. It seems like that is what he has always wanted.

Green and Maladroit are good. I won't hear otherwise.

>>130561839
well, it's not that bad. production sucks, but the melody is good

90% of big festivals have weezer headlining every year

>>130562835
Even the way they look there is embarrassing. They look like random old men except for the guy in blue, who even with his attempted aurafarming is dragged down by association with his unaesthetic bandmates.

>>130561839
unless you have proof you are some inbred southern bumpkin on a farm playing a banjo drinking whiskey from a jug I want you to stop saying yall immediately

>>130562835
if anything thats the antithesis of punk. i hate weezer btw i really do fuck them

>>130562853
I don't use tiktok explain

>>130561839
Sounds like he's singing with a blow pop shoved up his ass
