Seven additional tracks have been leaked from Weezer’s upcoming Red Album. I thought maybe I’d hold off until I could hear the completed, final and mastered album… but I caved.
As weird as it sounds, a couple songs (Heart Songs and Everybody Get Dangerous) almost sound like Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Pat sings on a track? So far this is a really weird album. You’d just have to hear it, I guess. Pork and Beans (the single released a while back) is still the best song of the album.

Honestly, I really dig the track with Pat, it just doesn’t sound like Weezer.
Troublemaker and the first two minutes of The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived are my only real problems with it. Despite an enjoyable tune, Troublemaker just has awful lyrics all the way around (think The Good Life meets Beverly Hills). And I’m not big on Rivers’ Eminem impersonation on Greatest Man.
I agree on Pork and Beans. Great song all the way around.

It’s more like the first minute of the Greatest Man Who Ever Lived, which sounds like a Lady Sovereign song. Once the guitars come in on the first chorus, it starts to pick up just fine.
The track that Pat sings on reminds me too much of Sugar Ray for its own good.
And yeah, Rivers has been really lyrically hit or miss for the last couple albums now.

Weezer? serious? might wanna get with the times and check out Sum41 billy. March of the dogs and king of contradiction are incredible tracks. the rest of that album is very cold ice melting on some very warm boobs of a very hot lady. “shake n bake!”

So what? You get a new girl and all of the sudden you stop noticing really stupid things and feeling the need to publicly bitch about them? That’s a bad excuse, Bill. Even if you’re amusing her with your stupid realizations, you’re not amusing me. So, really, what’s the point?
