Well her self-titled "sellout" album sold a bit less than Exile in Guyville in a much shorter period of time, so she may have been onto something once, but clearly a lot of those sales were from people who thought she was still making her old style of music; the album after s/t sold a dismal 80k, about 1/5 the sales of Exile or s/t.

No, it's not any worse than that, you're right. But it's still a baffling and massive step down from Whip-Smart or even Whitechocolatespaceegg.

Occasionally I try to listen to the post-Pinkerton albums at work on a sort of fact-finding mission and I never manage it. I just pass out at my desk and wake up an hour later having missed lunch. At least some of the more recent albums are sort of fascinatingly bad, like I can listen to that stupid Indian one about love and be, like, technically stimulated by marveling at how tacky it is, but the Green album, sheesh, it's just the most boring, inconsequential thing.

I'm going to write a spec script for this ASAP.

Recently discovered there were B-Sides to the Green Album. They're great and better than many of the tracks that made the final cut Starlight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG_cS9MEdF4 Teenage Victory Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFC5ntmQoAY

zVxTeflon posted:Lets not go crazy I agree. They are pretty much of the same quality as the songs on the album. They have the same strengths (very catchy/elegant melodies, crunchy guitars) and weaknesses (nondescript lyrics, samey song structures).

https://soundcloud.com/alex-morrise/all-teezers Somebody put together all the song previews from the Youtube series, in the order of the album's tracklist. So will this be, as /r/weezer is claiming, the album that "redefines comeback albums" (whatever that means)? Judge for yourself!

People were looking for Weezer alternatives earlier. May I suggest Dovetail Joint, an under-appreciated rock band from the late 90's/early 2000's? They made some great catchy tunes in a similar style. https://dovetailjoint.bandcamp.com/track/guarantee https://dovetailjoint.bandcamp.com/track/everybody-falls-apart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_0G2ayUVTQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jelYZR91KtI

If you like Weezer mixed with fuzzy stoner doom, Cloakroom is really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NVGSxGO7QM

zh1 posted:People were looking for Weezer alternatives earlier. I'm sure people are going to tell me exactly why this band "sounds nothing like Weezer" and that might even be true, but they are fun, power pop, punky, and also one of the most ridiculously overlooked bands of the 90s/early 00s.
