The reason why this sounds so good is because Weezer used to have a raw tone when they were younger. The guitars were punchier. Rivers used to play with more force. Now, when you watch him play he barely moves his wrist to strum, let alone his whole arm like he used to. The falsettos Matt provided really fit the best though I really like Scott and am happy with him.
It's a product of getting older but they could still try to get a more raw tone for future albums/performances.
i dont like how people keep saying weezer arent as good as they were in the nineties. theyre the same people who wrote all this awesome stuff and i think their going back to their roots, i love this song
I remember 94' like it was yesterday,lot's of cool shit going on back then.This brings back memories.Trolling the record stores on Saturday for the latest,greatest band/CD.Wish I could go back.These day's are shit for music.Actually,I stem much further back to the hardcore punk band's like C.O.C and Agnostic Front,and I like S.O.D.Anyway,thank god for band's like them and even Joy Division,Killing Joke etc.
I gurantee that in a few years all you hipsters will go back and listen to them, realize that they are good songs, and they will all strangely forget that they hated these songs once, and they will claim that they were always a hardcore weezer fan....
I really hate the hipster fucks that say "oh, weezer, i really liked their old music but now they suck" or "they suck without matt sharp". Its become something just cool to say so people think they're "down". Truth is Weezer still kicks ass. You all know you have "beverly hills" on your iPod's. Weezer is a pop band thats still writing hits and that's impressive. Do you remember when Pinkerton came out and nobody liked it? Now everybody loves it. The same thing will happen with Ratitude & Hurley
i luv weezer more than prolly anybody but the best weezer song..really?
entitled to ur opinion of course..but how bout Only in dreams..or i just threw out the love of my dreams,or across the sea , or pink triangle,or no one else,or the world has turned and left me here or devotion or waiting on you or say it aint so,or holiday?
I want to some how go back in time and become the drummer for weezer and add a couple of more drums to my drum set and then start t osing back up on some of the songs and then i d love to see rivers reaction hed look back and be like what the fuck are you doing only me and brian are singing this and do extra drum fills and theyd be like hey man just play the beat like i showed you
no but seriously id love to go back in time and be the drummer for weezer
Hmmm. The new stuff isn't bad, they just have a terrible habit of only having the good songs on the Special Editions - 'Life Is What You Make It' and 'King' really deserved proper album places on the Red Album. Either way, I wouldn't say it blows, it's just quite a different Weezer from the one we knew.
This is on my birthday, except i was born 3 years earlier. Also, it seems like Brian and Rivers kinda switched places over the next few years; brian becoming more energetic and moving around, while Rivers became more stiff and shy. Just an observation.
I don't care what anyone says, but Weezer's self-titled blue album was their only best album - everything else after that was commercial crap. Too bad Matt Sharp left.
