Everytime I hear a new Weezer song...

[mmmmsnouts]

You reach an age where you can’t keep making the music you used to make and be taken seriously. Everyone in Weezer is 50+ now. These new albums are just sad.

Pinkerton is an excellent concept album.
Saw them at George Mason University about twenty years ago.
Not a great concert iirc

It's weird isn't it, great music ≠ great albums ≠ great concerts. A guy I worked with once told me he didn't like the Strokes because their concerts were terrible. I had an acquaintance who saw Better than Ezra probably 100 times (slight overkill). Let's not even begin to discuss Phish...

Saw Phish at Hampton Coliseum in ‘98 or ‘99. Can only remember playing hacky-sack outside the arena. The rest is very hazy

They have a few songs which have been good but not many. I do still try with most of their albums but I don't really get anywhere.

Rivers was really depressed when writing the first two albums and there were some mental health problems in the band for Green. Apparently he has been okay since so it's hard to criticise too much really.

Fantastic album to be fair. Sad to say but how many bands are actually at the top of their game anymore? And going back how many really churn out great stuff for 20+ years? My dad always says he stopped listening to the Stones new stuff after 1981 but that doesn't mean the good stuff isn't still some of the greatest music ever written.

Some dude once said it's better to burn out than fade away. True words.

Dinosaur Jr have been crazy consistent throughout the years.

I don't know why Weezer get it in the neck for continuing to make albums. They obvs enjoy it. Blue, Pinkerton, Maladroit and Green album are more good albums than most bands ever manage. I liked Make Believe too actually. Leave them alone and let them make their crap albums ffs

I saw them and the Pixies back in 2019

I only wanted to see the Pixies but Weezer put on a better show. They cheated by doing covers of Aha Take on me and Toto Africa.

They're still doing pretty well, quite big in the pop punk world I think.

I want to cry a little that the same person who wrote the Blue album and Pinkerton is churning out album after album of wet garbage.

Is possibly the worst take I've ever seen on this Internet forum.

This post could've been made at any time between 2009 and 2016, but the White album is outstanding and is just as good as the Green album. The new one is also really good.

Rivers Cuomo is second only to Billie Joe Armstrong in terms of melodic pop-rock melodies. The man's a genius for this stuff.

Never heard of them or any of their music and I'm keeping it that way by not clicking on these links.
