Return of the Rentals is very, very mediocre. The album is residing in my "I never play these"-pile for the last two years (along with the second Cell album, the Boo Radleys’ Kingsize, a Blake Babies album,... well, you get the idea). First of all, the vocals are very weak and tiresome. And overall, the album didn't age very well. Well, actually, it aged just as well as you might expect from a 90's send-up of 80's poppy new wave. Bad new wave, that is. It's just not even catchy songwriting, which is obviously the one thing that could have saved it.
As for Beverly Hills : it’s in the same league as Undone, and way better than El Scorcho, their two other "novelty" lead-off singles. And it's also way better than "Friends of P" for that matter. Word of advice: play it really loud !
The Green album is three times as good as Pinkerton. Don't let go is better than Tired of sex. Photograph is better than Getchoo ...and I can go on like this for the other 8 tracks. Every single track could have been released as a single. Every time I put that disc in my player, it stays in there for at least two complete spins. It’s classic, timeless, infectuous, well-crafted pure pop, and it rocks reclessly. One of the 10 best albums of the 00’s.
If anybody else is going to call the three latest album not up to par with Blue/Pinkerton, I think I’ll scream. First of all because it’s not true, second because it makes no sense. It would be like dismissing anything of FB’s output compared to Surfer Rosa / Doolittle.
Aaah, that felt good.
I disagree with everything you say
no hard feelings though
the vocals are weak on Return of the Rentals
but the songwriting and the moogs are great
really
rivers doesn't sound that sprankling on maladriot either

WEEZER just plain out-and-out SUCKS.
They are completely dry, old, stale, and stupid. Basically a one-album wonder. They just need to quit. Everything that Rivers Cuomo had to say made its way onto the Blue Album, which is miraculously wonderful. Everything after is just crap. Pinkerton is crap. The Green album is crap. Actually it's shit. Maladroit is rotten shit. Beverly Hills is quite possibly the worst of the bunch. WEEZER is a band that has hit a brick wall, and continues to drive deeper into the clay.

OOps...sorry about that weird double post. I meant to edit myself and correct my error regarding Beverly Hills as the title of Make Believe. I became so caught up in my rant my fingers lost control.

Heh. Somehow I have missed seeing this thread. Normally I dont get so worked up and lose my cool. I am now embarrased because I have reduced myself to cursing and shouting hatred. I apologize. It's just so maddening when a band fizzles out so horribly so quickly and continues to flounder.

I agree with billgoodman. Longtime Sunshine is a beautiful song and a Rivers solo album would be a step in the right direction. I've loved weezer through the years. Make Believe sounds good so far, and Maladroit was good, but I don't see them creating another album as quality as the blue or pinkerton. And I don't mean one that SOUNDS like those albums.
I think a Rivers solo album would be amazing as long as the lyrics weren't generic, and it wasn't overproduced, but more "I recorded this in my room" sound.

Make Believe you're Weezer -
Well I finaly got to hear the new album, downloaded it from bi-torrent, and it's nothing to write home about. After Beverly Hills, which is way to overproduced (what is that girl saying anyway), I was just bored listening to the rest of the songs. Nothing stood out. I loved Blue and Pinkerton they are classics and I know it's not for me to say, but I wish they would have stopped there. Since they didn't I'll have to rate the Green album better than Make Believe and Maladroit is a solid middle album.

i love hearing horrible things about this album before i actually hear it. i finally heard it yesterday and wasn't nearly as horrified as i thought i'd be. it just kind of reminded me of rooney. music that is all right, but i would just never choose to listen to it over most of the music i own.
now i'll continue to listen to the new spoon and raveonettes albums...

If I may abuse this thread for asking a Weezer-related question:
In the booklet of the blue album, there's a picture of their guitars and drumset, and there's a poster of a band (well, at least a picture of a guitarist and a singer) hanging on the wall. Does anybody know which band that is? My first guess would be Kiss ("In the garage..."), but since the faces are not painted, I have no idea. |
