An Open Letter to Weezer:
Congratulations. You’ve done it again, you sneaky sons of bitches. What can I say? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me two more additional times and I take that as you feeling up my mother. How dare you think of what you have produced as acceptable? I’ll spare you the common argument of the Blue album being an amazing debut and Pinkerton being a landmark. Oh, what’s that Rivers? No body liked Pinkerton initially so you had to become some recluse like Howard Hughes? Boo-fucking-hoo. What good did that do for your craft?
You produced the Green album to which I hold a special, yet quite small, portion of my heart. Okay, fine. Then what? Maladroit? Whatever, you tripped again. Everyone gets back up eventually. Then you did it. You really gave your audience and fan’s a true slap to their coin purses; you produced Make Believe. Goddamn I have never been so furious ripping an album off of the web. What the fuck were you thinking?! Jesus Christ, one listen and it was off my iPod for good. I get cold sweats just thinking about listening to that black vortex of retardedness. I simply will not dive in to the Red Album. You all have ears and know why I’m pissed.
So, why did I listen to Raditude you ask? Because I hope, gang, I wish. I dream at some point you guys will drop all the self-consciousness and start making music that you were meant to make. Pull your foot from your fan base’s fruit bowl and start doing things right again. Until that time, fuck you Weezer. Fuck your new auditory torment and good luck catering your concerts to 12-year-old boys and girls who listened to this piece of shit while getting ready for a middle school mixer. Your music or anything for that matter is not worth its weight in used condoms. Oh and for those who want a review of this middle finger in your ass, here it is: The first song is fun, and there is a party song featuring Little Wayne. It sucks.

thumbs up! it’s like the swift kick in the taint that rivers cuomo so justly deserves. although i did kind of like that one song that i heard that i can’t remember… it was okay, whatever it was. that about sums up weezer circa 2009. oh, and kenny, you misspelled the album title in the headline. not like it warrants proper attention, but there you go.

benji — duly noted and fixed. although the “rat” in “ratitude” may have been appropriate. raditude sounds even more dickworthy.

i didnt think it was that bad. just kidding. it sucks. although on the album ‘make believe’, they have a song called ‘this is such a pity’ which is an incredible 80s synth rock song. sooooo, you shouldnt have been THAT gummy-shoed for ripping it for free in 2005.,

i’m gonna get all contrarian and disagree here. i personally believe that weezer’s ‘downfall’ has been an intentional artistic move. they know the music is getting worse and they’re doing it on purpose. rivers has been done with weezer for the better part of the decade, i’d imagine, and is only putting out albums has a kind of tongue-in-cheek kind of jab at popular music in general. he’s been selling the emperor a new suit for the last 4 albums, and instead of anybody pointing out that the emperor is naked they’ve all just been criticizing his fashion sense. and i’m sure rivers will keep on doing this until he gets bored or somebody calls him out on it. rivers is a balding socially awkward intellectual happily married practicing buddhist with a harvard degree; does anybody really think he’s teaming up with katy perry and lil wayne because he’s self-conscious?

Taylor swift-
if you have to be tongue in cheek to make a point, you shouldn’t be making music.

I kind of agree with Taylor Fife and have thought that for a while– look at the hilariousness of the titles – they all have a tongue in cheek “I wish i lived in “beverly hills” and become “the greatest man that ever lived”, partied and did drugs all the time – “hash pipe”, “we are all on drugs”, and now “party all the time”… they are making obvious statements about how terribly cliche music is these days and laughing all the way to the bank that these become such pop-hits. thats why “pork and beans” was such an obvious statement to the masses, especially with dropping “timbaland” and the using of 15 minutes of fame youtube celebs…. at least that’s what I think. I think after Rivers poured his heart into Pinkerton and no-one cared he was just like fuck it. Thats why matt sharp left. thoughts?
