listening to weezer blue album 30 year anniversary. i have thoughts and i will post them
weezer 30 year anniversary review in as few words as possible - DISC 1
my name is jonas - not problematic but emblematic of the Weezer desire to be a boy man playing with toys
no one else - this one is like half an Across the Sea. the chorus is so fucked. i'm convinced Rivers Cuomo would keep a woman on a leash if he could get away with it as a public figure
the world has turned and left me here - i still love this one. i don't know if it's the instrumentation or knowing that Rivers Cuomo was sad when he wrote it but it's one of my favs off this album
buddy holly - I Am Sick Of Buddy Holly
undone (the sweater song) - i am also sick of this one but less so. i also don't like imagining Rivers Cuomo naked
surf wax america - it's not the same style as a Beach Boys song but it gives me the same feeling. i love this song so much, the "all along the undertow" part is my fav
say it ain't so - this song was very important to me as a kid and helped me process a lot of emotions. i'm sick of it now but it's good
in the garage - this is my favorite weezer boy man toy song. i still sing along to the chorus
holiday - vampire weekend had a better song called Holiday. this is a genuine 5/10 and is like drinking room temperature water, to me.
only in dreams - this is one of the standouts on this album and i love it to this day. it's just slow and meditative, you get to sit with it for like 7 minutes. dreamlike. perfect
my name is jonas live version - slow it down, weezer. for christ's sake. it was too much
in the garage live version - the organ on this one is fucking cool. i really like how they transformed the song
no one else live version - it sounds different and i would like to believe it's because Rivers Cuomo sees himself at age 50 still singing this song
surf wax america live version - i still love it :) good job to the fellas. edit: the organs make this song omg. what the fuck
buddy holly acoustic/live - imagine going to the shittiest party ever and you see people sitting in a circle singing buddy holly. that's this song
undone sweater song live acoustic - i actually really love them breaking down buddy holly from before at the beginning. the sound is very modest mouse. they are very sad and contemplative about the sweater, even 30 years later
