Pinkerton is classic tho.

i have liked everything until this new piece of shit.
wtf is going on here? rivers is on crack or something. or maybe he's just an old man trying to write songs about girls but it aint working anymore.

yeah i don't think i'm going to get it. not impressed at all with the four songs i've heard.
pinkerton was sooo good.

It's the new thing to hate every weezer album...but truth be told it is getting great reviews (pitchfork excluded) I personally think it deserves to stand next to Blue and Pinkerton, yes two songs (BH and We are all on Drugs) on the CD are sub par (Maladroit class)...but Perfect Situation is the best song they have put out (net or alubm wise) since Pinkerton and is a great song. It stands on its own, it blows green and Maladroit out of the water for sure.

they definitely haven't been the same since pinkerton. everyone has been hating on weezer since then because the songs just aren't nearly as good.
overall, i think the new record isn't that great, but its definitely a significant improvement over the last two records. there's 4 or 5 tracks that are pretty solid. i might just think that because my expectations were so low though. its ashame rivers can't seem to write good lyrics anymore...

it's cause he's getting old and doesn't hit on 16 year old girls anymore with his songs. he's a cool guy and all, just kinda like david cross' rant about emo/pop punk bands that write about high school when they're all like 25

i just listened to Perfect Situation and it's a great song. want to listen to the others now...

that beverly hills song is bad.
no excuses... just bad.the little weezer fan in me died when he heard that.

when i first heard "hollywood" i thought, this has got to be some kind of joke. like a pop-culture experiment.
like, lets make the worst song ever and see if the teenagers buy into it. oh, wow they'll buy anything thats on the radio.
haven't heard much of the rest of the album... but, hollywood is awful. its got to be a social experiment or prank.

i have not heard anything since the green album (which i adored). but Rivers writes pop songs. he has progressively tried to break out of 'coolness' and get to what he really enjoys. writing pop songs.
- usrper0
can someone post a song up, i wanna hear how bad it is..
- sklassen0
you can stream the record here:
beverly hills has to be one of the worst songs ever.
- jpowell0
