Happy to see you here Slippin' Jimmy. Maybe I need to listen to it more to appreciate it, I just think it's oddly placed and it kind of slows down the momentum of the album.

@@idoblogs I understand. I’m just glad all Weezer fans can get along no matter what their opinion is. That’s what’s so good about the community

honestly for me thats the kind of sound that ok human should have been

Why do you personally like it? I can probably be convinced to enjoy it a little more

@@idoblogs Well first of all I thinks it's a banger and super catchy, it concludes and ties up the ideas of Summer in a great angry anthem, the final guitar solo after the "Goodniiiight" gives me a "There's more where that came from" vibes, in general, the song just makes me instinctively headbang because of how intense it is Also most importantly the lyrics are not meaningless or "AI generated" as you call it, it counts the story of a person who has been underestimated ("In the first game of my rookie season I was way out of my league" "Everybody laughed at me") and has something to prove to the world, "From this vintage I can see everybody looking up at me, and I know how it will be, I gotta keep flying, flying" the eyes of those who underestimated them are now on him and he has to prove himself, he gotta keep flying, flying Even the "Ain't no kid on crutches" part has meaning to me, the protagonist is saying "I'm no kid on crutches, I can pull my own weight, I can prove it" as to what the protag is trying to prove I feel like is left ambiguous on purpose, there's referwnces to flying and blimps but it could very well be a metaphor And yes one part pulled from The Beginning of The End (Which is actually the Volunteers demo) but SZNZ constantly repurposes parts of other weezer songs and demos

can i veri

@@ihsa1 no

I think you’re right! That’s been driving me mad! Thank you!!

nah cant dance is such a perfect opener for that album, so upbeat yet self loathing in a way

Appreciate it a lot man! I am planning on doing a lot more Weezer related stuff, but classes just started for me so I don't have a lot of time to make videos. Will definitely upload soon-ish :)

I'm working on a few ideas :) I'm currently finishing up my degree, so content will be slow for a little bit

Sorry, one more - Sheraton Commander is about a hotel that was across from where Rivers lived in Cambridge, MA in the Pinkerton era. The courtyard has a statue of George Washington. It’s about Rivers’ longing to revisit that time in his life but due to time and age, the place doesn’t feel how it used to to him.

Honestly super great points! I was just not really that big of a fan of the vines for Spring and Summer, personally. Maybe I should give them all a second shot ✌️&❤️

Thank you man, great job on the vid@@idoblogs

Thank you so much for taking the time to figure that one out. We should inform the masses at once

Nerd alert🤓😘

Yeah, those 3 bridges are not cohesive at all, but at least it doesn’t last too long. Plus, the transition back into the chorus is fantastic

Deadly serious lol I just saw them in concert a few months ago, and the song was a lot of fun live, but still isn’t great imo F tier was probably too harsh, but it was one of my least favorite songs in the SZNZ series. So only in the SZNZ context, I think it’s placed decently. In the context of all of Weezer, it’s probably in D for me

Thanks man! And thanks for sharing that tip kindly :) Next time, I'll turn auto-focus off

no this is patrick

I might have to make that video :)

@@idoblogs yeah then do it with Make Believe, Red , Raditude, etc

@@thomedwards1421 now thats a great idea

Make like a SZNZ supercut

What do you like about it? I can be persuaded :)

@@idoblogs I just think it's really cool. The second half where the angel calls out the big man really brings up the tension. I feel about Tastes Like Pain the way you do for Lawn Chair

It is an intentionally dramatic and silly kind of song, like theatrical almost. It's very enjoyable listening to it like that.

It is theatrical. Take the line : "Unsatisfied with rain you made tears; and threw out your baby expecting we'd praise ye and worship thy name in a song." Obviously, I don't agree with the idea that if God sent his only son to earth in the Nativity that that would be a bad thing, and Rivers isn't making some serious point here. But from the point of view of someone who hates God and is upset at seeing pain and suffering, unable to reconcile them with the reality of an all good and loving God, like the Christians do, it becomes very good. And that part of the song goes hard. @@idoblogs
