I was really disappointed by that. Of course, I was also really disappointed by Make Believe. And Maladroit. Still I will continue to give their stuff a chance. Damn you Weezer!
OMG key, I have the exact same feelings as you about their last few albums. I enjoyed the Green Album (while not a modern classic like their first two, it's still pretty damn good), but both Maladroit and especially Make Believe were pretty horrible. In fact, I've been reluctant to listen to "Pork and Beans", just so I wouldn't be dissapointed.
and i still haven't listened to it. I've listened to these other new leaked ones, via stereogum, and I'm actually pleasently suprised. I suppose Weezer is a full on "rock" band now, having almost completely changed their sound. But I really like the operatic one (no idea what its called) and the other were at least listenable. (I cannot say that about Make Believe at all).
Originally posted by booyahboy: I love the video; it's pretty funny. They have a way of making buzzy videos for their lead singles (like "Beverly Hills" in the Playboy mansion).
One of my friends was just pointing out how Pork & Beans, Beverly Hills, Buddy Holly, Hash Pipe & Keep Fishing are all the same video.
The band stands awkwardly in a busy surreal environment: Buddy Holly (Happy Days) Hash Pipe (Sumo Wrestling) Keep Fishin (The Muppet Show) Beverly Hills (The Playboy Mansion) Pork & Beans (YouTube)
Personally, I wouldn't say they keep making the same video over & over. But they sure deserve credit for making some of the best videos throughout the past decade.
