it makes for a more rivers penned album and is more mellow which is maybe the original intent but at the same time it’s a shame to take away the experiment effect to the regular

for that matter im tempted to add autopilot to my alt - but it’s sound is so left field it’s gonna be challenging to make it blend in within all these more acoustic songs

altho automatic is a skip for me the production is stellar and shines thru that one

it’s the most expensive weezer produced album and it shows tbh the mixing is incredible pristine, caviar s***

we already lost a weezer bro today not another one

u post yours too then I will make 2 different playlists and tell you both which 1 I enjoyed more

had to call in geek squad

Some notes I wrote down
1. Mexican Fender - Not super unique... hmm... not sure if I'm crazy about this one. Doesn't feel like it takes any interesting risks.
2. Beach Boys - Remember really hating the chorus of this song when I first listened to the album. Listening to it now, I don't think it's that bad. Really like the bridge on this one.
3. Feels Like Summer - Removing the context of this song's release, this is a great pop song. Weezer gets unfairly bashed for creating pop songs that would be ranked highly in year-end lists if it was any other band.
4. Happy Hour - Hm... I feel like having this sequenced right after Feels Like Summer was a mistake. Sounds a little too sonically similar. I like the verse's production. Vaguely hawaiian. Something that's interesting about this album is the production. It's really poppy but none of the instruments sound generic. Really unique vibes.
5. Weekend Woman - Bridge through me for a loop on this one haha. It's so beach boys-esque. Really cool how it transitions back into the chorus.
6. QB Blitz - Remember hearing a lot of good things about this one when it came out. This one's definitely a winner to me. Love how chill this is. Feels like being on an island. Once again, that bridge hahah, didn't see it coming. very beautiful.
7. Sweet Mary - Very tightly written. Rivers's growth as a songwriter goes unappreciated. Can't imagine Blue Album Rivers being able to compose something like this.
8. Get Right - Had fun listening to this one. Little filler-y to me.
9. La Macha Screwjob - Title reflects it well. I like these oddball tracks that show up in the back half of weezer albums (jacked up comes to mind).
10. Any Friend of Diane's - Love the little "woo-oohs" in the background. Having it as the closer sums up the attitude of the album pretty well. This isn't trying to be some statement, just 35 minutes of fun pop.

Overall, I think I appreciate it more than I did the first and only time I did before. It's 10 very tightly written pop songs. And the melodies on this are undeniable. Goddamn is Rivers a god at that. I also can really make the connection between White Album and this more so now. I liked that comparison of EWBAITE, White, and PD with Blue, Pink, and Green. EWBA=pinkerton, White=Blue, and this is Green. Taking Blue's sound and bringing it to its poppiest conclusion.

With that being said.... I don't know if it scratches the itch that White, Blue, and Pink do for me. I like Weezer a little clunkier. It was a fun listen though, and a few of these will be stuck in my head for sure.

Bro I've been so busy and haven't checked here for a minute but I saw an article today about ok human and knew you'd be all over it!!! Let's goooooo

blah shall be the judge and give the verdict @HeyFella

(in all seriousness greatest man needs a lil warm up and set up rather than exploding fireworks right off the bat - only reason id put it first track is if i close it with the angel and the one and that’s bc greatest man starts with some audience sounds and angel and the one ends with some audience sounds so sounds conceptual, i asked scott once about this if like it was meant to be connected but forgot what he exactly replied, either way he said it wasn’t)

Yeah, but you also know about the spreadsheets? That is the main problem I think

BRO WE BIKKKE LETS GOOOOOOO HOW YOU LIKE THE NEW SONG??!!! SO GLAD U HERE hope you’re healthy and safe and doing good bro it’s all i care for much love

will get back to this shortly when im off king, ty for sharing this

I totally slept on Everybody Gets Dangerous lmao, besides some of the lines it is actually really great haha
