different scale, era and objectives... I don't think they can fairly be compared to be honest, but I see whatchya mean

I kind of want to press the "agree" button, the prechorus and chorus really carry this track

wait what

dang that's really cool. haven't logged on ATW for a while so thanks for tellin me. what did you think of it?

it's pretty good, kind of sounds like a ewbaite-era demo, what didya think?

haven't listened to it yet, not really expecting anything groundbreaking but I'll give it a listen when I'm bored enough to do so. is it good?

hi

it's a good single .. but they released the thing without any concrete info on the album, no title, no preorders, nothing! in every interview rivers says that they're "still figuring out", I thought he was joking but I'm starting to think they really have no clue what the album's gonna be. classic weezer, I should know by now, but hopefully we won't have to wait 6 months for A20. we need new music!!!!

official THOUGHTS: pre-chorus is nice. the rest is meh. this is a very pat song, weird choice for a lead single. it just makes 0 sense structurally, it's put together very poorly (which makes sense considering who wrote it). it just feels like this song is in search of some sort of hook but can't find it. it just doesn't flow right at all. not a bad song at all, but not very "good" either. what do ya think?

yeah, idk if I should be worried or optimistic about that fact lol

i just hope they'll drop the single and the whole album right after, it's not 2003 anymore we shouldnt have to wait 5 months for the whole thang

i certainly didn't expect it to sound like hurley

i like how the drums sound tbh reminds me of some of the ewbaite demos

I like it, it does sound pretty EWBAITE-ish, but I'll wait for the whole single to come out (in only 5 days!). It does make me a little more optimistic for A20, it will most likely be a very weezer-rock LP which we haven't really had since white

glad to hear that. happy weezing again

i hope they'll do a fan-club single for a20

rivers cuomo

it really depends what kind of sound you dig, white/ewbaite -> try listening to "ecce homo" (RC demos), maladroit/2000s rock -> you might really like "SS2K". i'd say these two are the cleanest set of RC/Weezer demos to start with. then move on to fanmade compilations and finally if you're brave enough you could directly jump head first in the full demo bundles or recording sessions. it's worth it and you'll have enough weezer music to listen to until the heat death of the universe (a20 release)

SS2K: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZlGdAxd2Cw ------------- and ecce homo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2Q4q7FHngk

if weezer is unable to produce one (1) good album in four (4) years then nothing can save this band

the girl got hot

happy HOLIDAYs to you, bro

amen

Rivers Cuomo's side project? I'd rather listen to his solo stuff maybe I'll check it out @ some point

i love this version it's much more melodic and I'm a firm believer that this song was made to be acoustic

I mostly don't use weezify since it's tagged super weirdly, although lastfm still works with a standalone scrobbler (I use Pano scrobbler for android, web scrobbler for the web app should work too). but the tags are messed up. weez on

more like "nausea". #epiclysquashed

what if album 20 was a banger recorded with the whole band in one room and some experimentation have you ever considered that

amen

RIP kanye. you are deeply missed.

i really need to download the rest of the SS2K stuff in my library but i cannot find it... must be on soulseek somewhere. and i am not ripping youtube videos!!!!! do you recall where you got it from?

Pietrovisk, I pressed the 'like' button on your shout out of respect but this is WERONG, without the E. schmedley's domingo is the best version and I'm opinionless about superstar. however, his keys on Mad Kow are one of the highlights of EA5. i woll not tolerate these words!!!!!!

i honestly like the hard rock version of prodigy more than the keyboard one

pretty cool tracklist. organ player as the closer is something I can 100% get behind, though i'd replace queen of earth with untenable

don't even joke lad.

maladroit may be overrated but its for sure better than a 5/10

just lying at this point brah. try again.

it's really surprising how much better rivers' demos can sound with the right equalizer settings

speaking of file sizes, I'm grateful that rivers didn't distribute his demos in a lossless format, we'd need data centers to host the ewbaite bundle

very ear-wormy, keeps getting stuck in my head

exactly. due to sheer file size im back to being a mp3 pleb. oh well

oh shit you're right, I've been maladroiting a lot more lately

it integrates lastfm natively so well it even shows "scrobbling now" for local files

whoever is saying this needs to have their brain scanned and put in a cardboard box

always felt this intro was super random and doesn't even transition nicely or fit the rest of the song...... rivers' artistic mind is truly incomprehensible

for the most part, no. buuut his "ballad for the fallen soldier" is really really good, probably the best reproduction of the song out there. So here's that

this is what happens when u try to write one song every day i guess

ts aint even crazy its just funny wtf was i on 8 hours ago

never really stuck with me, not a big fan of the acoustic MB demos. BUT i'll give it a good brand new cleared and thoughtful listen right now

so male manipulator matcha jeff buckley core

a really good start, may weezer shine upon you

one day...

hell yeah. hey domingo is great, been listening to Acapulco a lot lately, weird song but somehow super catchy. like a lot of A5 stuff

u sdhould try listening to "rivers cuomo" (underground artist) and his "demos"

it has a cool riff bra

early 2000s weezer was something else

can you even "like" weezer if you're actively ignoring anything they've released between 2005 and 2019? lots to think about...

thank GOD.

sounds awesome but I have no clue how you can turn it into a releasable song
