Weezer – “Raditude”

Yeah right, sike! I didn’t actually waste my time listening to this new Weezer record. I mean why would I? We already know it sucks, let’s get totally real people! I heard the lead single that sounds like Fall Out Boy and then I read somewhere that Lil Wayne makes a guest appearance on the album, two reasons why I’m smart for not listening to this record.

Hey Rivers, as a friend I’ve got to tell you a few things. You know the weird nerd character you created for yourself and that evenutally you became? Well it worked pretty good in the 90s at least until after you lost Matt Sharp (or maybe it somewhere around the time of that Green Record) cuz  you just sorta lost touch and your disconnection has only gotten worse and worse, not to mention more embarrassing, with every release you put out. You definitely need to change things up cuz I hate to see you like this dude. I would say listen to the song by The Dwarves called “Teenage Women & Free Cocaine!”, take two and call me in the morning.

Here’s the deal man… Brian Bell is cool, he was even nice enough to come to one of my shitty BBQ’s and pretend he wasn’t bummed he showed up, but he’s not gonna tell you your shit is wack cuz he’s on the payroll. So knowing that and not knowing the drummer dude Pat or whoever is on bass these days, I feel like it’s my job to set you straight. Who else is gonna? Not Josh Freese man, he’s not really in the band. That would be weird. Plus I’m sure your judgement is clouded and your ego is re-enforced by your record sales so you prolly won’t believe any naysayers anyways. But I gotta try.

So I’m shooting from the hip when I say this: You are sucking dude! You need to go back and figure out who the fuck you were when you wrote those first two records man cuz you’re totally tripping these days. If you need help, I’m really cheap to hire. Have your people call my people and we’ll set something up pronto!

We don’t have the Axl Rose rating system in play yet, cuz of some webmaster setbacks, so I figured I’d just give this record my own Axl rating.

axl_rose_03Axl is letting his freak flag fly and doesn’t give a flying fuck! Cuz he knows even at the peak of his lameness (ie: cornrolls, Chinese Democracy, No Izzy, No Duffy, No Slash, No Popcorn, just Dizzy, Bumblefoot and some other goons in tow) he will never suck as hard as this Weezer record does.

I mean how can he as long as he owns that fuckin’ hat?

  • not only does lil’ Wayne make an appearence, but I also read that they enlisted the songwriting prowess of the All American Rejects on a song or two…ummmmmmm yeeaaahh it speaks for itself. that dog is prob ashamed to be on the cover!!!

  • Does he have a kid? Some musicians tend to go “safe” the moment they have kids. They freak out about providing for their children and start making “safe” commercial music.

    Also maybe he is happy in his personal life. People tend to make better music/art when they are miserable.

  • Congratulations, you wrote the EXACT same review as every other person that reviewed this record.

  • a shameful attempt to “connect with the kids”. is not hype, is not relevant, is just a sad, creepy, pervert, and stupid try to remain as “america’s favorite pedophile”.

  • I even cringe when I hear the old stuff now.

    Btw, Simon makes a good point regarding the “for the kids” thing.

  • Weezer’s been dead to me since after the Green record. I don’t know what kind of Disney trip they’re on now, but they’ve made it their mission to take the biggest bullshit band crown away from Incubus or Nickelback or whatever band is “awesome” now. Fuck Weezer.

  • wait a minute….rivers is in to kids now, I though it was asian chicks

  • and oh yeah I forgot…someone should kick rivers in the balls for covering mgmt and lady gaga songs during their recent tour.

  • man weezer have always sucked. I’ve never understood what anyone has ever seen in this band. fuck you

  • So I overheard my roommate, who can at times have the worst sense of musical taste (new Brian Warner album, anyone?), “bumpin’” this new Weezer puke fest the other day. Travis, you were smart not to listen to this shiite. Cumholo’s needs a chance meeting with Gary Ridgway. Even Snitchdork even gave this a record a thumbs down.

    P(M)S: Lil’ Dwayne hasn’t died yet from sizzurp?

  • i hate how terrible weezer has been the last 10 years. the best weezer song since “pinkerton” is the one you guys put on a comp.

  • I never ever saw what most people ever seemed to see in that gay ass band.
