Everytime I hear a new Weezer song...

[johnnydawg68]

I saw them and the Pixies back in 2019

I only wanted to see the Pixies but Weezer put on a better show. They cheated by doing covers of Aha Take on me and Toto Africa.

The Pixies don't really put on a show. They just come out and kick ass for 2 hours with 9 million great songs. The Pixies are actually a good example of a band who will probably never reach the heights of a Doolittle again, but all of their albums since re-forming have been solid to above average. Some of their recent stuff I would put up against anything in their catalog.

Case in point:

Rivers Cuomo is second only to Billie Joe Armstrong in terms of melodic pop-rock melodies. The man's a genius for this stuff.

Chris Martin absolutely destroys them both on melody. Shame he pairs them up with lyrics that could have been written by a seven-year-old boy.

I take back my original comment. This is the absolute worst take I've seen on this Internet forum.

Chris Martin makes boring music for supply teachers.

He goes to bed dreaming of writing a song as good as Buddy Holly or Basket Case.

I am similarly displeased by Val Doonican's musical output

He has been sounding a bit wheezer since since 2015.

Fantastic album to be fair. Sad to say but how many bands are actually at the top of their game anymore? And going back how many really churn out great stuff for 20+ years? My dad always says he stopped listening to the Stones new stuff after 1981 but that doesn't mean the good stuff isn't still some of the greatest music ever written.

Some dude once said it's better to burn out than fade away. True words.

The Kurgan?

Thought their White album was pretty good and everything since more or less crap

You know what, I’m staying with that take. The music is regrettably very good, the lyrics are absolute toilet.

I respect the stubbornness, fair play
