All the great post-Pinkerton Weezer songs you missed.

Over the years, as everybody pretty much lost all interest in a post-Pinkerton Weezer, I still always made sure to give every release a solid couple of listens... Just in case... and along the way I discovered some really great songs interspersed amongst the Hashpipes, Beverly Hills, and Franks & Beans.... So, for all of you who loved Weezer way back when, but have never heard any full albums after THE TWO, I meticulously handpicked a playlist chock full of really really fantastic songs that sadly got lost in the noise of crappy singles. Seriously, all of the songs on this playlist are freakin great! Some of them - especially from “Everythjng will be Alright in the End” - have that sound we’ve all been hoping for over the years, but just never noticed! SO, here ya go! I waded through the crap, to get these hidden gems into some ears and hearts. Enjoy.







MYKEE’S WEEZER SPOTIFY PLAYLIST

SURPRISE! A shitty Weezer covers album is here!

SURPRISE! Riding on the tails of success of their Toto cover, Weezer surprise dropped a full album of cover songs today, another self titled ‘color’ record being called “The Teal Album” - Continuing to prove themselves as the #1 most consistently underwhelming and disappointing band in the history of popular music. They put out two beloved masterpieces, and then flop after flop of boring radio rock nonsense for a good 15 years straight! There’s always a few gems hidden in each album, but, come on already! Give us what we want! Every time they release another self titled album with a color name, there’s always that hope that MAYBE they brought it back to the goodness of Blue, or when there’s an album with a weird name, there’s hope that MAYBE they brought it back to the goodness of Pinkerton.. but, nope.. Pork & Beans, every damn time! Now, don’t get me wrong, this is a pretty solid collection of covers, but godamn, the selection of songs could have been pulled from a folder labeled “Songs that EVERY FREAKIN BAND EVER covered from 1996-2005” - So many obvious and over done songs! Like freakin ‘Sweet Dreams’ ‘Take on Me’ ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ and ‘Billie Jean’ - and on top of it, they did each one of those songs EXACTLY like the original! Sometimes my mind drifted for a moment, and I thought I was listening to the real version.. They might as well have just recorded vocals over a karaoke track! If you’re gonna do such unoriginal covers, at least make em your own and do something different and exciting! THAT being said, the other half of the record has some better choices (still kinda ‘meh’ though) like ‘Happy Together’ ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ and even Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’ - and it’s like they changed their mind halfway through recording the album and decided to start putting their Weezer sound on the songs, and the album gets much more entertaining and fun to listen to! All in all, if a Weezer covers album came out back in the day, when all these covers were a bit more fresh, I would have ate this thing up and loved every second! But, these days, it would have been awesome to hear this band put their own spin on some deeper cuts and some more beloved songs.. I mean, doing TLC’s ‘Scrubs’ is kinda neat, but also kinda embarrassing and dumb.... I dunno... it’s worth a listen i guess, but the whole album just kinda feels like every Weezer album since the Green album; forgettable and underwhelming. Ah well, at least they’re consistent. • I listened to the whole thing during my traffic filled commute to work, and had some thoughts to get out. So, now i can get on with my day. See ya.
