New Weezer album release date is October 27. Lets hope they can recreate the genius that their first two albums possessed.

 

Didn't realize they were doing another quite so soon. The Red Album was better than Make Believe, but that wasn't exactly hard to top, and still nowhere near the Blue Album or Pinkerton.

Yeah, the Red Album was better than Make Believe. It was still plagued by s*** like "thought i knew" and "cold dark world" though. Us Weezer fans have realized the sad truth that they will never come close to Pinkerton or the Blue Album again. Those albums are unbelievable.

I only went back through the last two pages, and didn't see anything, so I'm still not sure if it was mentioned or not. Has anyone heard this new supergroup Them Crooked Vultures? Josh Homme from Oueens of the Stone age is on vocals, with Dave Grohl on drums and John Paul Jones on bass. Certainly sounds interesting.

 

I just went from 6 to noon.

This is a pretty common thought with any band. the earliest stuff is always the best. I used to be a huge 311 fan, but their new stuff is just unlistenable to me. Music-GrassRoots-311-Transistor is just a really hard thing for them to find again.

Keep hearing about them, but have yet to hear anything by them. I can't find it anywhere. They played Metro a few days ago.

Jim DeRogatis loves them, so that worries me.

He never seems to like very much stuff that I do.

 

I didn't see his review of them, must have missed it. They have a 14 second teaser clip on youtube, that's really it.

I believe that much like Bob Dylan, Rivers Cuomo died in a motorcycle accident after Pinkerton and was replaced by a less talented replicant thereafter.

I'm not sure if you have listened to any of Rivers' solo albums, but they are pretty damn good. It is a compilation of his old demos. His solo albums are a lot better than the junk they are putting out now.

 

It is sad to see what weezer has become. It's not that they sold out or anything, (although, i think it's time they say "f*** it" and just name their next album Big Mac or something) they are just not good anymore. Pinkerton and The Blue Album are amazing. They are up there with the best beatles records for me. They are flawless. Then they release garbage like this.

No, this isn't a joke. That's their next album.

I disagree. It's only true when it's true, some people just run out of ideas.

 

Should be noted that Matt Sharp left after pinkerton, then the bass driven songs gave way to crappy pop guitar and rap lyrics. Rivers is a joke.

Is 'It Might Get Loud' playing anywhere near you guys? Came out on the 12th in limited theaters, but where the hell is it playing??

I CANNOT wait to see it.

It is only in LA and NY right now.

 

These are the release dates for other cities:

Thx man! Will you see it??

 

Yes, I am excited to see it, but it doesn't come around here until Sept. 18.

Chevelle's new cd is easily their best, new sound, still rocks.

I have to wait until Oct 2, but I'm just glad it's coming within 50 mile of me.

Are 'The Killers" really the first band to have that name?? It just seems like a name that would have already been taken.

They are not, unless the "The" makes all the difference.

 

Iron Maiden's original vocalist fronted a band called Killers for a while.

Flaxx I've been listening to electric warrior quite a bit recently.

Old school T. Rex?? Very nice. I particularly like the Phloe and Eddie vocal support on that album, to go along with Marc Bolan's general greatness.

I'm sure 'The' makes a difference if another band were to try to sue them. Pretty amazing that no one was 'The Killers' before them.

Well I doubt a band could get away with calling themselves "The Metallica".

I think there are some weird expiration rules. My friends band name is ptarmigan, the same name as some canadian prog band in the seventies but it still checked out for them.

Not a huge fan of Ben Harper's funky songs but his soulful stuff is King s***. He makes me think about s*** and get emotional when I dont even have a reason to.

I agree, you'd think it would have been used before.
