Green is great. Weezer rocks.
Just burn the green album right now and drive around.

I like Green but it's a bit lifeless. It's like he made Blue while sleep walking
I'm listening to Maladroit right now though, it's still a great record. They had a mini-renaissance with this and the album 5 demos. Still pissed Make Believe is what we got from that, they trashed all the good songs

how come Perfect Situation has a different chorus in the video and on the radio? it ruins the song.

Green is incredibly boring. Each song on the Blue album has substance, much like with Pinkerton. The same really can't be said for Green outside of (maybe) Island in the Sun. Just from this thread alone, the majority of the people were naming songs from Blue/Pinkerton, not Green. It's really just forgettable. Not as bad as Make Believe, but simply a poor album.
Fuck yeah. Don't Let Go will fucking get you pumped right out of the gate.
I just have to disagree, I feel like they're hitting it on every track, I don't know. I do love Maladroit though, but I think Make Believe was actually alright.
I don't know, I just really loved Green. I still love all the songs on it, I just don't get how you could say Don't Let Go, Hashpipe, Photograph, or others are "boring." Different strokes I guess.

Yeah, I love it.
When performing the song live, the audience was singing the chorus wrong.

Why don't people appreciate This Is Such A Pity? That's always been one of the tracks from Make Believe that I feel deserves some recognition, yet I hear nobody mention it or Haunt You Every Day. Maybe it's the cheesy keyboards?
I guess I'm in a minority where I don't think Make Believe is all that terrible.

There's also an alternate version of "We Are All on Drugs"(and I'm not talking about the "We Are All on Hugs" edit).
Those two songs and the album version of Perfect Situation are pretty good, iirc. It's the rest of the tracks that are poor
edit: listening to perfect situation for the first time since i was 15 and it's awful lyrically

Make Believe isn't terrible the first time around. But whereas Blue and Pinkerton only get better with age, Make Believe really shows how awful it is on repeat listens. Everything about it is terribly cliche and unimaginative. Like Rivers Cuomo wanted to write the perfect pop album without any substance or quality (which, I'm guessing, is what he wanted to do). This is Such a Pity is a good song, but it's not enough to save that turd of an album.
Well it's all opinion, so I certainly respect that you like Green. But Green has to be one of the more forgettable Weezer albums. A couple standout tracks but it mostly just feels flat.
Best song off Pinkerton

i worked at staples and i always thought it was weird that they played that song like five times a day. i mean that's a direct competitor.

I can agree with that, it's nowhere close to Pinkerton or Blue but I don't think it's as abysmal as people claim. Although I don't think I've listened to Beverly Hills, My Best Friend, or We Are All On Drugs intentionally in years.
Once I let the hope of another Pinkerton or Blue go, I could at least appreciate some of the newer material. Is it anywhere nearly as good? No. But there are still plenty of decent songs in there. Green, Mala, Make Believe, and Red (especially deluxe) all have at least two or three gems apiece, if not more. It's just that it's bogged down with inconsistency.
The Alone series really helped with the pain of never getting another Pinkerton, or a full Songs From the Black Hole, or Homie, or whatever.
I do too. It's not one of their better songs, but it was pretty cool, especially back when it first came out. Still a cool song.
That's an interesting choice. I like it.

Can't be worse than hearing Bob Seger's "Like a Rock" at the Ford dealership I once worked at.

I thought IJTOTLOMD was universally accepted as a top tier Weezer track.
It is.

Rivers Cuomo became extremely depressed while at Harvard and later projected his experiences there into Pinkerton. However, after the critical and commercial failure of Pinkerton, he realized that deeply personal albums aren't popular with the general public. So he embarked on a quest to write songs with as much pop appeal and universality as possible, creating generic lyrics and lazy riffs. Ultimately though, depressed Rivers is best Rivers, and pretty much every album post-Pinkerton has been shlock.

I apologize if I have offended you. I will make my exit.
Yeah, if I were in charge of their label... that's the lead single off Pinkerton, maybe making it more of a duet with Rivers & Rachel Haden trading off the lead just so people know it's a Weezer song.
It's the natural next step after Blue. I think people forget how much of a gag reflex there was from people when "El Scorcho" came out.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I want to hate Weezer, but I can't.. because they have so many just good songs.
OP is all kinds of off his rocker.
