New Weezer Album

i'll be getting it later today, but im thinking i love the 5.99 pricetag!

After my first listen I thought it was terrible. It is growing on me real quick. "Dreaming" easily could have been on the first album, "The Angel and the One" is epic, and "Pork and Beans" is a great single.

If you get the chance though, get the deluxe edition with "Miss Sweeney" and "Pig", those two are the best thing they've done since Pinkerton.

Got it over the weekend... Wow!
'Heart Songs', 'Everybody Get Dangerous', and a killer version of 'The Wieght'(The Band).

I would recomend it to anyone a fan of thier first two albums...

"Heart Songs" and "Everybody Get Dangerous" are easily two of the weaker songs on the album with "Cold Dark World" and "Thought I Knew". The rest of the album is pretty solid though.

"Everybody Get Dangerous" reminds me of "Can't Stop" by RHCP every time I listen to it.

I don't understand them. Miss Sweeney and Pig are the two best tracks and only made the Deluxe version.

They probably know that -- they're incentives for giving the band more cash.


Was looking forward to purchasing this one, but after i heard a bunch of leaked songs on youtube, i will respectfully pass. the single is vintage weezer though.

love the blue album
love pinkerton
kinda like green album
dont like maladroit a lot
gave up


and....

the new album has a couple good tracks but on the whole, sucks

so i lied.......went out and bought it........the pork and beans 7" red vinyl for free with it from my local record store sold me. i like about 60 percent of the album, which is I guess better than the amount I liked before. Some of it flat out blows, like 'Thought I Knew' with Brian Bell on vocals -- sounds like Good Charlotte for christ sakes. However, I like Patrick Wilson's contribution on vocals (he wrote it too) on Automatic -- that track rocks.


This damn red vinyl for free is pretty cool too.

It's a pretty damn good album. The Greatest Man That Ever Lived, Pork and Beans, Heart Songs, Dreamin', and Automatic are very good songs. I will agree that Cold Dark World is pretty weak, as is Thought I Knew. But overall, I think this is a very good album, better than their last.

I love the Red Album. It is vintage Geeky Weezer rock. Sure some songs borrow on other artist IE Dangerous and RHCP, but the album rocks.

I think it is much better than their last album with Beverly Hills on it.

I like Weezer, but I feel like the band owes me at least $40 for all of the really crappy songs (and in some cases albums) they have produced. Plus, the albums are usually less then 35 minutes. I'm OK with 3 minute songs, but they need to record more then ten.
