My old list kinda sucks tbh. Also I'm not doing Death to false metal.

1. Blue. The best weezer album. Not by much, but still the best. It has one if the best Album openers ever, and the best album closer I've ever heard. Only in Dreams is my favourite song.

2. Pinkerton. Like I said, Blue wins but not by much. The amount of raw emotion that's put into the lyrics, singing and even the instruments is awesome. It takes a few listens to get into, but once you do, you will love this album.

3. EBWAITE. This album is what I could call their magnum opus after the 90's. This album has every song as a 9/10 or higher, and the songs are all just so damn good.

4. White. I love this album too, mainly because of how early weezer it sounds, but it's got the modern bits of weezer I like too. Like it's not the closest to Blue, but it's really good still.

5. OK Human. The orchestral approach to this album is still super experimental and it worked so well for the band. I would like another album like this, but just a little bit longer than this album's 30-ish minutes.

6. Make Believe. It's severly underrated. It opens up with one of weezer's more mediocre songs, but pretty much everything else on the album is solid. Still, it's a very weird album.

7. Hurley. Yes I still think Hurley is a good album. It's like Red, as it has the same silly charm as it, but done better. This album and Red is just Weezer having fun.

8. Van Weezer. Hell yeah, 80's rock weezer time. Some of the songs on here are really good, the only not great song is Blue Dream. They did Crazy Train dirty with it.

9. Red. Yeah, I've gotten to like this album a lot more, still not my favourite though. It's got some good songs, but also some Mediocre songs.

10. Maladroit. I like this album, but it's not really that re-listenable still. It's not bad, but just hasn't got any replay value.

11. Pacific Daydream. It's not the worst album they've ever done, but it's nowhere great. It's a decent album, and it's a little bit better than green is.

12. Green. It is the most Mediocre album weezer has. There are 2 songs I think are the better ones on the album. Hash Pipe and Crab.

13. Raditude. A lot of people do say this album is trash, but there's a few alright songs, though this album does have Can't stop partying, Love is the answer and for some damn reason a Poker Face cover. Just why?

14. Teal. It's nothing special. Just a cover album. It's alright, but it's not weezer sounding at all.

15. Black. Yeah I'm not defending this album. When I talk about weezer and someone says, oh they suck, i'll always reply with. Well the Black album does. I don't like this album, it's just not good. It sucks.

Oh and here are the SZNZ ep's

1. Autumn. The absolute best one. It's the most fun one, but it also has Run Raven Run, which I still think is a really good song.

2. Summer. Still a good ep, though not as good as Autumn. There isn't too much to say about this other than it's pretty good.

3. Spring. Solid ep, and it's very weird for weezer, but hey it works, and I ain't complaining.

4. Winter. It's not bad by any means, but out of all the ep's it's probably my least favourite one.

The ACTUAL Rivers Cuomo subreddit is just shitposts from what I’ve seen, so hopefully here is the place to give appreciation to Chess. I love this song, what are your thoughts?

By "Triumphant", I mean songs that are very grandiouse or sound like they could be performed by a larger group.

These days I made the same with blue album and Pinkerton, since Falling For You was the most commented and upvoted, Falling For You is elected the most beautiful and/or well done from Pinkerton, so what do we have now:

• Weezer = Only In Dreams
• Pinkerton = Falling For You

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I want to confess to my crush through lyrics via note passing in class or a card. Any recommendations on a song or specific lines?

Yesterday, Return to Ithaka narrowly moved on to Round 3. Today, vote for your favorite song of the three options. Here’s today’s playlist.

Every time I try to speak about my unwavering, undying love for my favorite band— I always have some disgusting, overweight, pimply, smelly, rat in my ear saying some cornball half-assed joke about Weezer.

I will simply talk about the PEAK that is the blue album and some moron will stammer over their words, giggling like Beavis and Butthead before their ‘joke’ is even audible. Their blubber from their fatty cheeks vibrating from each chuckle, “hah… Weezer blue…” they mutter.

All I can do is stare at them, sometimes I indulge, pathetically and patiently laughing along as this rejected TLC star continues to howl and bark and hoot in laughter like they just made a joke single handedly better than Eddie Murphys entire career.

People will laugh in my face as I say they are my favorite band, thinking I just must be some elaborate jokester. Once handed the aux, I show my true commitment— playing Weezer BANGER after BANGER. The person listening in awe as I continue to clog up the queue with peak only.

“Bro this is trash”, the horizontally, facially challenged creature next to me mutters. I try to let it roll off my back, surely they come from some musical standing to have an opinion on my beloved.

“Sorry dude, here— play a song,” I pass the phone to them. They click around on the phone, their clumsy fat fingers causing multiple disturbances as they type. Their eyebrows pinched in concentration, even a bead of sweat forming on their forehead.

Ah… they are nervous. Of course they are. They know nothing will ever compare to the heat I’ve just subjected them to. Finally, they shyly pass back the phone to me and I peer up at the radio to see which song they chose.

“MGK” in big, bold letters.

The creature shines its pearly yellows as it begins to sing. All I can do is watch in horror.

You can have shit taste, you can dislike Weezer— you, however, CANNOT HAVE BOTH. You greedy, disgusting, ARROGANT PIG. YOU ARE SINGLE HANDEDLY DISRUPTING THE HARMONY IN OUR WORLD WHICH WEEZER HAD WORKED SO HARD TO BALANCE.

I’m so serious. I’m sick of people singing the Buddy Holly riff at me like it’s some sort of genius joke, expecting me to crack a smile. No. No. I will no longer entertain this.

I’m sick of seeing people purchase the beautiful Weezer blue album t-shirt for shits and giggles. My culture is not your costume.

Once I met up with an old friend, he spotted me wearing a Weezer t shirt and damn near laughed— “is that a joke?” This is harassment. I explained it was, in fact, not a joke. He just shook his head in response “sorry, I’ve got a few friends with the same shirt. They don’t listen to them though, they just find it funny,”… sick, twisted, and deprived.

Funny? FUNNY? What about wearing a damn t-shirt with a band on it is FUNNY? If I walk around with an Aerosmith shirt and a smug expression is that all the sudden qualified as a JOKE? AS FUNNY? Your humor is SHIT. Your life is SHIT. You will amount to NOTHING.

Even worse, when they PRETEND to like Weezer because it’s a meme.

You want to be a loser, huh? You want that, yea?

“Heh… I’m such a virgin loser boy,” no. NO YOU ARENT. I WONT VALIDATE YOU, GODDAMN IT YOU ARE COOL.

I ask the creature its favorite song, it simply replies “oh they have a lot of good songs… hah… uhm maybe… buddy holly?” …

Have you considered that maybe you should die, NOW.

I hate it. You aren’t a nerd, you are failing out of pre-algebra. You aren’t a loser, you’ve got 25 million friends who all dry hump your leg. You definitely aren’t a virgin, look in a mirror.

You want to know who IS all of those things…?

ME. I AM. THATS HOW I WAS ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND WRITE ALL OF THIS CRAP. MY NOTIFICATIONS? EMPTY. MY SCREEN TIME? THROUGH THE DAMN ROOF. MY FRIENDS? TWO ON A GOOD DAY. BITCHES??? NONE. ZERO. NADA.

I was BORN GREASY AND PERVERTED, you want to be ME. ADMIT IT. YOU WANT MY LIFE. PATHETIC AND MEANINGLESS DONT YOU.

You are a thief. That has taken all that was me. BITCH.

Greetings, denizens of Cuomoville!

Last year, I decided to do an exhaustive trek through the catalogue of one of my all-time favorite songwriters, Elvis Costello. My goal was to pick my 3 favorite songs from each album and end up with a badass, diverse playlist that showcased everything I love about him. In order to shake things up, I decided against chronological listening, and used some random sequence generator online to set the listening order for me. It took me months, it was an absolute blast, and here’s the playlist that came out of it:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Zsua0lafXJ2IgOc7UD8yu?si=R8A6vjtSR-qwfdXYXgzUEQ&pi=_r7GC4KOQG-5N

Once this Costello project was done, I was eager do it again, and started thinking about other bands/artists that’d be worth the time and effort. Didn’t take long to arrive at my answer:

Cuomo & Co.!

I’m currently done with every album except “Pinkerton”, “Death To False Metal”, “White” and “SZNZ: Summer”. I considered bonus tracks eligible only when they’re widely available and/or currently streaming (e.g. “You Gave Your Love To Me Softly”, “Miss Sweeney”, “Friend of a Friend”, etc.).

I’ll edit this post and share the playlist when I’m done, but I mostly just wanted to share the deets of this lil project cuz it’s been super fun, and I’d love to see what other people come up with if they wanna try it themselves!

If you got this far, thanks for reading!

EDIT:

I’m done! I’ll include the Spotify link and the complete list for those who don’t have Spotify. Thanks for all your input. This is a great Cuom-munity!

Yesterday I made the same post, but with the blue album, since Only In Dreams had more comments and upvotes, Only In Dreams is decided to be the most well done blue album song.

The map is cold front btw:) So for context I was playing through some custom maps on left 4 dead 2 and I found a key I don’t remember exactly where at but when I walked up to it I got a prompt to pick it up so I did and it put text on the screen saying go to the hotel/use at the hotel I don’t remember exactly which so I went looking for it went inside and started interacting with every door I could inside until I found these doors opened up to a black void that you couldn’t shine a light into I decided fuck it and went in and got teleported to a room with the l4d1 characters chilling with weezer posters on the wall there was also a few guns Med packs and I think incendiary rounds or explosive not sure which lol (also this happened yesterday lmao my memory is fucked)

There's an insane amount of demos out there, more than 2000 i recall. For what I know the best song I've never heard could be hiding out there on some yt video with less than 1000k views. As to my favourite one out of the many I've listened (still a small portion of the catalogue) im not sure. The make believe and ewbaite era has a some of my favourite tracks: queen of earth, organ player, gravity will bring you down, rules of life to name a few, so I guess it really depends on the mood.
