    Weezer have had their share of ups and downs over the years, but Pacific Daydream finds them at their most clunky yet.

    Weezer are in this weird sate where everyone knows they can make a good album, but they only choose to do it half the time. Therefore it onlyWeezer are in this weird sate where everyone knows they can make a good album, but they only choose to do it half the time. Therefore it only makes sense that after the White Album they make this.

    This album is the dreaded fun pop weezer except it's not fun and what regular pop fan even knows the name Weezer? It's an album full of mediocre pop dozers with about 3 memorable songs.

    Weekend Woman, Sweet Mary and QB Blitz are the only songs I would maybe consider listening to outside this album, though I doubt I'll come back to this album much. I don't know if I want to give this a 5 or a 0 so I'll just leave it at a 3

    I also have to admit Feels Like Summer ain't too bad.

    Good songs: I guess Weekend Woman and QB Blitz

    Bad songs: Mexican Fender, Beach Boys, Happy Hour, La Mancha Screwjob, Any Friend of Diane's    … Full Review »

I mean, seeing that Weezer did fantastic works with their previous two albums, it's incredibly disappointing that this album just managed to be Raditude all over again, with excessive pop and tunes that don't fit well with the band. I couldn't bring myself to hear the tracks more than once, just like it happened with Linkin Park's One More Light.

    Just what the hell is happening with the rock bands we know and love? Seriously.    … Full Review »

    I'd like to give this a lower score, but as a fan {former fan?} I just can't do it.

Worse than Raditude? Possibly; but the songs are so instantly forgettable I cant be bothered to give them enough repeated listenings.

    Perhaps it's time to call it a day boys.    … Full Review »
