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?

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

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?

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.,

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

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.
