    These are recognizably Weezer songs, but they're livelier in execution, benefitting from a palpable sense of playfulness on the part of the band.

    This EP finds Weezer safely in its comfort zone, leaving a big challenge for the rest of the EPs in the series. But for now, fans can still enjoy the fact that Weezer can sometimes—when the right effort is made—sound genuinely great.

    Spring really is more interesting than a one-off single yet not so great that it begs for the full-LP treatment. The little-loved EP format, with its equal space for consistency and experimentation, suits this incarnation of Weezer just fine.

    A continuation with the experimentation that OKH brought along. It's a lighter affair to fit the season of Spring but a collection of 7 solid tracks.

    If we’re being honest here, this album isn’t for everyone, but at this point in Rivers’ career I don’t think he cares what people think of theIf we’re being honest here, this album isn’t for everyone, but at this point in Rivers’ career I don’t think he cares what people think of the albums he writes. This seems like a passion project for him and I can’t hate him for it. I have higher hopes for summer but who knows. The only track I actually enjoy a fair amount is angels on vacation, which has the most weezer-y sound. I will say this album is original at least, you won’t hear anything else like it.… Full Review »

    Really love all the tracks here. Angels On Vacation, Garden Of Eden, Sound Of Drums, All This Love and Wild at Heart are definite highlights.
