The excessive proliferation of Rivers' writing and his single-minded hold on the direction of the band.

I <3 Weezer...one of the best concerts I've ever seen was the double bill with Weezer and Foo Fighters. damn was I tired after that.

I don't really like the new song either and I am a fan of Weezer. The Blue and Green albums are great, maybe they'll go back to their roots after this album flops.

cant check the link right now but is it 'pork and beans'? because if it is i actually like the song, and agree with a lot of other fans in that its similiar to 'el scorcho' and is a step towards going back to the way they sounded their first couple of albums. also the story behind the song is interesting also:

This was written by Cuomo as a reaction to a meeting with Geffen where the band was told it needed to record more-commercial material. Cuomo remarked, "I came out of it pretty angry. But ironically, it inspired me to write another song."

if the song listed in the op isnt 'pork and beans', then ignore this post.


edit: alright i listened and wtf was that?!? hmmm, guess the lead single may just be a fluke...

I almost think I only liked the green album because it had been so long since they put anything out that I really wanted to like the green album.

I stumbled on this thread while I just happened to be listening to Maladroit.

Good stuff.

Ehhhhh. I almost pooped my pants after listening to it for a minute cause I was entranced by it's shittiness. And that's coming from someone who loves Weezer. The last half of the song wasn't too bad but fuck, Rivers, WHY!?

I wish they'd write more songs like My Name is Jonas, No One Else, Tired of Sex, Only in Dreams, Island in the Sun, etc... that's some good shit. A lot of their b-sides and rare songs are good too. Mykel and Carli, You Gave Your Love to Me Softly = win.
