Do you ever look around you and see all the death and destruction and the constant bad news and feel hopeless? “What’s to be done? What can I do? What can anyone do?” you wonder.
Well, not Rivers Cuomo. Rivers looks at climate change, cops killing black people whenever they feel like, Israel doing an ethnic cleansing of Palestine, and the millions and millions of pandemic deaths, and he decides “I can make this worse.” And then he releases another Weezer album.
I released an album of punk rock/noise pop whatsit last October. You can get it right now by clicking on any of these words. Since writing this, I have gone ahead and put the album up on all your favorite exploitative music services, which you can view by clicking on this (this is not the full list; it’s all over the place, including Jay-Z’s Tidal!). I will now also embed the entire thing below so you can play it while you read this (or not; it will probably be a little distracting, ngl).
This is the second part of a towering postmortem of the album. The first part was a stream of consciousness blatherfest about its creation. Try and live through that, if you can, tough guy.
Anyway, now we’re gonna talk about… well you can see the title up there, can’t you? Yeah, good. Okay.

Just sounds like a box of farts on parade, what the hell!? Is not music! Is nasty! Nasty boy yelling! Nasty guitar! I hate it! I hate him! How did I even end up on this website? No one has heard of this man? Why am I here? What year is it?” FADE TO CREDITS. TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN.
