I agree. The CD is rounded out with some of the early singles and you really can hear the difference. A track like Just Another Dream sounds so full and powerful.Marky Dread wrote: ↑29 Apr 2021, 1:06pmIt's a good listen.

An album I never get tired of hearing.
The early singles had so much more clout.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
A Weezer record where Weezer perform Weezer songs. It has an 80s pop metal bent to it—mainly on the solos—but it's not all that distinct in any way.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
i never thought it would be possible for weezer to make an album i'd be less interested in hearing that like the last half dozen of their albums, but they found away, dammit.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Oh yeah, it's evoking cheesy metal. Between this and the 80s cover record, they seem to be pigeonholing themselves as a parody band.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 May 2021, 2:26pmThat's an awful album sleeve. Maybe that's the point.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 May 2021, 1:43pm

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I agree. I'd never call myself a Weezer fan—I could pick out Rivers Cuomo (and know his name) from a line-up and that's it—but am generally good with two or three songs per record. They're solid power pop, a fun three-minute sugar rush. Sorry to approvingly quote Mike Love, but stick to the fucking formula.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 May 2021, 3:07pmWhy?

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I hadn't heard them until the latest copy of Uncut. The CD is a collection of Dylan covers. Their version of Knockin' On Heaven's Door is very nice indeed.

It’s more of like sonic wallpaper type music to be honest. Their style is very unique but single faceted. The clientele is another band I find to be of the same sort of ilk
Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I thought that might possibly be the case. Maybe we should have a thread of bands/artists where you only need to hear one song and you are done with them?RockNRollWhore wrote: ↑05 May 2021, 3:20pmIt’s more of like sonic wallpaper type music to be honest.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
How funny, I made a playlist using this concept just recently. I have it organized chronologically by when I first heard each song.laxman wrote: ↑05 May 2021, 3:31pmI thought that might possibly be the case.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I think it's probably very likely that they have other interests now and being in Weezer is just a paycheck, so they're just coasting.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 May 2021, 3:07pmWhy?
