I’m Your Daddy is signifcantly better than the live versions led me to believe and will make a great single, but sadly the most of iother album versions of already-heard songs don’t seem to have too much potential or anythingm particularly Weezer-y about them. Hearing Can’t Stop Partying (my favourite cut from Rivers’ Alone II) turned into Chris Brown’s Forever is just kind of sad, even if it sort of works as that kind of track. It’s even produced by Palow Da Don, too!
The odd snippet or two (and they are just that) hold a bit of promise, so I still want to be hopeful, but something is definitely wrong when Make Believe seems like a better time for the band.
This is so across-the-board awful that it evokes more laughter and pity than disappointment. They “aspired” to Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana…and still failed.
Yes we all loved pre-200 Weezer, but can we finally admit that they are now an actual BAD band making BAD music? Not “disappointing” or inconsistent, but plain bad. They’re every bit as bad as Panic at the Disco or Lifehouse or Bowling for Soup or All-American Rejects…with whom they collborated with, ha.
$19.99? Really?
It’s $19.99 for the full deluxe album, bonus tracks, remixes, artwork, live tracks, etc. Pretty great deal if you’re planning on getting the album anyway. Some people think it’s $19.99 for just those six listed songs.
Oh, boy, another version of “Cold Dark World.”
ooh, better, I guess. You’re still a sucker if you pay that much.
I honestly don’t get what everyone is bitching about. This sounds like it could be a really fun power pop album. It may not be as serious and innovative and “indie” as, say, oh — ANIMAL COLLECTIVE — but when I hear Rivers sing the lyrics to these stupidly named songs, I get it: I get the irony. Those 30 seconds clips are pretty catchy right off the bat, so that’s promising.
I just heard the full version of that Daddy song and its probably one of the better songs they’ve written this decade.
I signed in just to agree with you. This doesn’t have to be life changing. Its an old legend putting out a goof ball record that was named by the guy from the Office. Its fun. Why is that so terrible.
Fun?
Did you miss the memo? Music is serious business in 2009. We’re in a recession, this means it’s supposed to be sad and real.
You guys are right. Music doesn’t have to be good. It just has to be “fun.” Dane Cook is awesome, too.
I won’t ever understand why so many people seem offended that Weezer is making a Pop album. They have always been a Pop band.
Pinkerton is one of those albums that was years ahead of its time, that is not something you can pull off with every release.
Dane Cook is not awesome. He’s a needy douchebag; but these ARE what Weezer has always been doing (pop songs.)
Although I must admit they aren’t as good as Pinkerton.
Or the Blue Album.
Or the Green Album.
