okh was conceived a while back after the black album or so? but crush said hey let’s do a stadium tour with you green day and fall out boy so weezer was like s*** orchestra album ain’t gonna rock for this lol so rivers did van weezer, 80s glam metal influenced where weezer would authorize themselves to do things they originally banned weezer from doing whe MJ they started out in blue album days - all cliché rock 80s s*** that was dated then, tapping guitar solos, palm muting etc

one single dropped for it and months of nothing then so weird like just some talk show performance and that’s it and nothing for months then finally a second single and then covid put a hold on all that right around that time so delayed announcement or did we already have a delay before that second single? either we did or there was no date given so either way lot of waiting

and then months of something total darkness

then finally a third single for a movie then new date and delayed again

and then again months of nothing now we’re getting a full year in this roll out since the first single came out (which by now weezer holds the record for longest period between first single drop and album drop OAT) then they switch up and gave us okh since covid wasn’t getting away (which worries me bc they had plans to do orchestral tour for okh so are they skipping this? rivers still mentions the concept in interviews so it seems in the air but by the time wouldn’t okh be “old” to promote with a tour?)
and vw finally set for may now

but that means that it’s fine to wait until then bc we have a new album but they’re gonna have to release some new single again or something approaching van weezer especially if they’re going through with the tour now so that’s gonna be half the album by then released idk how to feel about that

so this is why crush label is getting heat

apparently they aren’t managing other artists of their roast well either

but yeah it kinda sucks and ruins commercial potential for the album

altho if they set preorders this long there must be some good sells locked up for when it drops but ughh WHAT A MESS what a drag

Longest period between single and album drop? OAT

Yeah this is a mess and "crush" needs to get it together

I hope they do an orchestra concert tour for ok human idc if it's 2025 - I'll be there 😤

If I were them I'd add theater scenes or dance performances to the show - to renew the momentum they had when the album first released
