Thanks to this thread, I'm really digging the new album. I haven't listened to a new Weezer album in years, but this one isn't the typical Weezer album. I was hoping to get it on vinyl, but it looks like their store and Amazon are soldout. 

Check with your local independent record store. There's supposed to be a special vinyl release for them today.

Awesome! Colored vinyl?

Apparently they have a bunch of albums they're writing or recording and they specifically tie into the four seasons. Brian said one is actually "inspired by Weezer". So we may actually get a Weezer album that sounds like Weezer but I don't think we should get pur hopes up to high.

I enjoyed it.  I grabbed the pink vinyl.  Overall I like it, side A is better than side B.  Def a fun Weezer record.

I’ve listened a few times and enjoy a couple songs but I can’t get into it like Ok Human.

Thoughts on SZNZ? Seems to be a pretty ambitious project. Of course, knowing Rivers, he's probably had a lot of these songs in the can for awhile.

Some really nice bits on it (Spring). Thought it was enjoyable when I listened through.  Last album of theirs I thought was really great was The White Album. Ok Human was good as well. Have to say if any band could pull off an amazing greatest hits LP it's Weezer, Im amazed theyve never brought one out, so many great singles over the years where sometimes the albums haven't quite lived up to them.

it was enjoyable for me, kind of lost me a bit on the back half of the album.  I think OK Human is a far better offering.  This one definitely isn’t bad though.

The opening track as it starts literally sounds like it belongs on the PA system of a Renaissance Festival which I found interesting.

funny, I noticed it was up on apple music, started streaming song 1, my wife walks by and says "are you listening to children's music?".

Well whatever it sounds like that opening track has been stuck in my head all day. Good or bad Weezer songs tend to do that.  

This one feels a bit ridiculous though to be playing on a loop and generally speaking Shakespeare doesn’t make me happy

Just picked up Spring and Summer-- I like em, easy listens. Spring is..kinda springy. Summer, i had read in reviews, was a harder rock in style, and it is, but it's not much. 

Yeah, you're gonna get some corny cringey lyrics, but that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who knows this band beyond those first 2 albums.

I wonder what her mental state was? I hope she can get help instead of just throwing her in jail
