This is a quality track with a lot of heart. Musically its got some balls – ok perhaps not the “prettiest” weezer melodies we’ve heard, but thats totally not needed on this song. Lyrically, its cool to look back with the band at their origins, and celebrate their longevity – 8 albums and coming up on 20 years… To re-cast the Inception analogy in a more accurate way, Weezer is way past any ‘falling van’ issues here. Rather, they’ve dispelled the meddling ‘Mal’ and are confidently flying home. And I love that little breakdown with the Clash “Lost In The Supermarket” vibe. Little moments like that remind me that this band are by no means tapped out, and i for one look forward to the surprises i know are coming.
