The Coaster Corner: Weezer - “Red Album”

Words can not properly describe how bad the new Weezer record is. But I’m sure you already know this. Why do we keep getting tricked by a band who hasn’t released a great album in twelve years? It seems as though Rivers spends more time growing a mustache then writing lyrics these days. Somebody needs to break his heart so he can write some good tunes again. But seriously, I think he’s completely given up on writing. A sample of his recent “poetry:” “Act 2, I hit the big time. And bodies be all up on my behind. And I can’t help myself because I was born to shine. And if you don’t like it, you can shove it. But you don’t like it, you love it.”

We will shove it, Rivers. Shove these piece of crap record you keep unleashing in a landfill! Yeah, take that. We give up! That is, until you release another record and we are tricked, yet again, into checking it out. 

VIDEO: Weezer - “Pork And Beans”

Let’s be honest, Weezer have not released a good album in quite some time. Although, every time they are about to release something new it always peaks my interest. The first songs that have surfaced have been mediocre, but the first video for “Pork and Beans” is a pretty amazing feat.

According to a recent interview with Rivers, “Pork and Beans” was written in reaction to his label rejecting his first batch of songs for the new album. In turn, he created a tounge-in-cheek song to supposedly appeal to the masses. Essentially, the song refers to the dumbed down state of our current society. To help bring this theme to video, Weezer have brought in all of your favorite YouTube celebrities, from Tay Zonday to Miss South Carolina. Check out the clip below!
