Sweet F.A.
Man, I’m super concerned about the new Weezer album. I sense a possible relapse to their old, sucky selves from roughly 2005-2009.
Especially since the new album, Pacific Daydream, is coming only a year after their last album, The White Album, and Weezer has not exactly been known for good quality material when they release yearly albums (see: The Red Album, Raditude, and Hurley).
Also, they’ve returned to collaborating with some really weird producer and songwriter choices (J.R. Rotem anybody?) and this album will apparently be executive produced by Butch Walker, who co-produced and co-wrote one of the songs on… Raditude.
I hope I have nothing to fear, though. I hope.
