Sweet fucking Jesus! I love Pinkerton. Best Weezer album. One of the best albums, period. But this is just so... awesome. Songs From the Black Hole truly is to my generation what Smile was like for the decades preceding. This is pop, it's rock, it's heart and soul, it's catchy, fun, and melancholy all at once. I can only imagine how SFTBH would compare to Pinkerton, but I've got a damn good imagination. I want this to be an album!
@ethansloan According to Cuomo in a chat room, the reason he didn't release it is because of the album Return of the rentals. It sounded too similar apparently. Anyway, Pinkerton is one of my favorite albums ever and it likely never would have been made if SFTBH hadn't been scrapped so personally I am extremely glad things turned out the way they did.
Pinkerton > all other weezer, by far. don't get me wrong, i still love weezer, though i can't say why. Their new music seems like something I would hate yet I still listen to and enjoy it. But Pinkerton is tied with Pink Floyd's "The Wall" as best album of all time in my book.
I don't care. Weezer rocks whether they made "horrible" lyrics. NO.
No Weezer is horrible, all Weezer songs are perfectly made for our ears to have an inner ear orgasm. I don't care what others say about Weezer, they're one of my favorite bands of all times. Perhaps the most favorite.
@aNOOBIEstopsign Threw out the love of your dreams? I do that a lot... I like a guy then convince myself that I don't have a chance and try and get over that person.
@zakslezak Rivers is in the last verse, but the main vocals are Rachel Haden, singer of The Rentals, bassist of That Dog, Todd Rundgren's bassist on his 2008 tour, and a whole lot of other stuff.
Just because they experiment with all styles of music doesn't make them unoriginal. It makes them better than any other artists to be able to branch out and accept all styles of music. One thing a lot of there fans are not able to do, grow with them.
They played this song, with Rachel on vocals, in Vegas tonight! It was amazing! it was for their encore after playing Blue Album and Pinkerton back to back.
@timmerousme the fact that they did those concerts with just blue and pinkerton tells me they know that they can't write good songs like that anymore lol
Rachel sings this beautifully. This really is a standout track. For those asking about b sides and outtakes, as of three and a half hours ago, you can get them on the deluxe edition of Pinkerton.
@AFB12131415 I think Matt left =w= because he wanted to do more with the Rentals, where he had more control over the writing, vs in weezer where Rivers did most of it.
@bobbydowns Matt Sharp didn't write any of the songs. The songs are pretty much done when Rivers shows them off. Matt Sharp isn't a more talented bass player than Mikey or Scott. The fact that he left right as weezer started to go "downhill" was just a coincidence. The major factor in the change in weezer was the huge effect the negative reception Pinkerton got influencing Rivers' writing. Green album was an attempt to get back to Blue.
@Jackimole uh, all I was saying was that getting Sharp back would be better, not that he wrote all the songs or anything (though I don't think the Black Hole songs are that strong). I do agree with your last couple sentences there, though. Thanks for the somewhat non sequitur, drawn-out schooling anyway
@jobejo64 It's more of a weezer song than a rentals song, it was written by Rivers for SFTBH, which would've been a rock opera of sorts, with male and female characters. Because Rivers is male, he got whoever this singer is from the Rentals to play the character Laurel. Written by the Weezer frontman for a Weezer album, with Weezer instrementals.
@watching181 Oh really?! I'm a serious lover of b-sides so I'll check their stuff out. Thanks! Ugh thanks for replying me actually, I get to listen to this song again.
So is this supposed to be a from Songs From The Black Hole? It is way better than the SFTBH previews we got from the two Alones. Rivers should use his resources to realize his dream and make a SFTBH musical.
This is not Weezer and not from Pinkerton album
