Producers of the grunge era were way worse because they were Steve Albini and I loving hate that guy, so nice work whoever's pushing the buttons that make the Katy Perry songs go.

I'd say they were the worst of the grunge bands, but that's a tough race, especially if we count late-period pseudogrungy stuff like Silverchair or Candlebox.

sports posted:Weezer is really poo poo. Rivers Cuomo is another one of those whitenoise shower singers. Back to the Shack (along with Memories from the last Weezer album) reminds me specifically of Sonic 4 and Sonic Generations, games which explicitly acknowledge that the old Sonic was the good Sonic but completely fail to match their quality. It's a nostalgia trap. Back to the Shack is extra insulting because it purports to apologise for the years of poo poo but sounds exactly like more poo poo. Oh, and it's also insulting because it includes the line "I forgot that disco sucks", as if that isn't a politically loaded statement now, and as if that's what Blue/Pinkerton fans believe. Has there ever been a quality drop-off for a band more severe and more sustained than Weezer's? Seriously, any contenders? Liz Phair maybe? Here's the deal with Weezer: it's a cult of personality. Rivers Cuomo is one of the most fascinating people in music, because he's a tragic figure. I mean that in the classical sense, the Shakespearean sense: his downfall was inevitable. On the Blue album, he wrote smart, catchy, goofy songs about being into DnD and Kiss and made it seem hip; cue legions of fans. On Pinkerton, he turned confessional poet, opened his heart, and got burnt, badly. By the time the world had retconned Pinkerton into a masterpiece, Cuomo was already damaged goods, determined to never write a song that said anything ever again. (That was explicitly his mission, by the way: in the Pinkerton Diaries, he actually writes that.) If you really dig deep into Weezer, there's a lot to chew on, particularly with Pinkerton, which is an amazingly rich work: the classical influences, the Japan stuff, the titular metaphor. Then you get into the mythology behind it: the abandoned Songs from the Black Hole album, Cuomo's struggles with fame and success, his attending Harvard effectively in disguise. Then the subsequent commercial failure, Matt Sharp's leaving, and Cuomo's psychological and artistic plunge are as much a part of Pinkerton as the album itself. It's a complete saga, a rise and fall, a tragic hero. To the hardcore Weezer fan, every time they hear the last words of Pinkerton - "I ain't never coming back, I'm sorry" - they taste the poo poo of Raditude. They knew he wasn't lying. But they've bought into the cult of personality, and they continue to hang on his every word, because by this point his downfall is an essential part of the cult, like George Lucas. It makes Pinkerton all the more valuable and perfect. None of this is a criticism of fans, by the way. I'm one of them.
