Weezer

I’d be here way more often if I actually had the cash. My impulses are screaming at me though, tick-tock...
Honestly, I’m really digging most of the music you guys are talking about here.
Since I'm hanging out, here's a quick recommendation for you—check out 3WK underground radio online.

Give me a break. We were busy discussing the direction of the new Weezer record when you barged in to whine about needing a girlfriend. 🙄 And frankly, I think I know a thing or two about what it takes to find one. 😳 😁

I should probably just stay out of these guys' conversations. I honestly have no clue what you're all talking about.😵 😁

Then again, I know how tough it gets when you're flying solo without a girl around. 😉

They’re dropping a new album soon.
Has anyone actually listened to it yet?

I just adore them...

If they drop the whole album as the lead single, it’s not going to go over well. I have a feeling that's actually what's happening...

Oh, come on, give me a break!! Beverly Hills is a straight-up masterpiece... the songwriting is totally alternative and just cool as hell... and the lyrics? Pure gold... a damn revolution😁 😁 😁

I’m telling you, their albums just don't hit the mark😳 Sure, they’ve got a few decent tracks scattered around here and there, but as full-length listens? Absolutely not.😢

"Island in the Sun" is actually pretty catchy.🙂

Calling someone maladroit was basically an insult to music itself, so I'm honestly a little nervous about this one...

Look, Buddy Holly is an absolute masterpiece. Don't even try to argue!
Besides, who actually has the time to sit down and listen to an entire album these days...

Honestly, I always seem to find the time for Pinkerton and Blue.
I suppose a true music geek who really values their collection will always make time for a full album listen. 😁

Quite the departure from "speed of sound," isn't it?...

Look, if you're a real geek who actually gives a damn about quality, you've always got time to sit through an entire album. 😁

It's the blue tracks on the extended edition, obviously... 🙂

I don't know, I'm honestly just curious about Make Believe—especially since Pitchfork gave it a 0.4 (!) rating

Man, Pitchfork is such a joke sometimes... At least The Boy with the Arab Strap pulled a 0.8. That's something.

Honestly, I totally agree. It seems like albums that get a 1 or a 10 are always the most interesting ones to talk about. The real struggle is with those mediocre ones that sit right in the middle with a 4 or a 5. 🙂

I’ve actually always had a soft spot for the Green Album and Maladroit (kind of like how some people view Frank Sinatra as the ultimate standard for "alternative" tastes, if you ask me), but "Beverly Hills"!!! My god, what a song.👎

I think the Green Album is top-tier. Haven't really dug into Maladroit yet, and honestly, I’m kind of hesitant to drop money on this new stuff.
They really shouldn't have messed with the formula.

It’s honestly terrible... I think Pitchfork actually nailed it this time. I have no clue why it took them so long to realize they were dealing with such garbage 👎 🙂

Thankfully there are plenty of other summer bands to catch this season 😎

Look,
screw Pitchfork and all those pretentious critics, but
I honestly can't wrap my head around how you can give something a 0.4

I mean, seriously, how bad does it actually have to be?

A 0.4?!
