STRIKE!
I loving love this album. I can't believe I'm saying that about a Weezer album in TYOOL 2017. I discovered that they also released the White Album, so I listened to that too. I hated the last 3 and thought Red was okay. They all had tracks I hated.

I am so surprised by this. White and PD aren't perfect albums but they both have multiple tracks that I really, really enjoy. Which is my metric of a good album release by any artist.

It feels like they are evolving more by combining their existing sound with late 2010's folksy pop trends. And it works really well.

Edit: I fully admit though that I don't pay attention/give a gently caress about the lyrics outside of singing along to the hooks.

Verdict: Underwhelming but listenable. One thing Pacific Dream has over Red or Raditude is that there aren't any songs I hate (although "Feels Like Summer" and "Mexican Fender" come close). I won't be relistening to the album anytime soon but I might put on "Beach Boys", "Happy Hour", and "Sweet Mary".

Strong disagree, I love Feels Like Summer and it's been on repeat a bunch throughout my day.

The album is out and it isn't good. A competently written and perfectly bland pop record.

I think it's good for the same reasons. Except instead of bland it's a pleasant mix of current pop trends and weezer aesthetics.

I seriously can't believe I liked and am defending recent Weezer albums in 2017.

How did this thread feel about the previous albums? Wikipedia shows that they generally had higher aggregate scores than White and PD. But I feel the opposite, because I actually enjoy White and PD.

Feels like Summer is an abomination.

False. It's a great pop song that blends traditional Weezer bones with 2010's pop aesthetic.

It's in fact, good.
