Mar 26, 2018This just feels like a b-side album and it's really not good. There's like 4 good songs at best and most of the album is just plain boring.
-
Mar 22, 2021Overall pretty boring and not interesting. Especially "Feels like Summer" is Rivers literally trying to desperately write a TOP 10 pop hit and it is not working. But mexican fender is one of the best weezer songs of the 2010s. All in all this album is meh/okay.
-
Nov 12, 2017There's not much I can add to the other critical reviews. Weezer must be one of the most inconsistent bands out there, and unfortunately Pacific Daydream is up there, if not on a par with their very worst.
-
Nov 7, 2017Weezer have put a few albums out in quick succession in recent years but quantity and quality don't always go together as this offering proves. As others have said, PD is a career low.

Oct 30, 2017A MESSAGE TO WEEZER.
Please, please, please don't rush the next album {Black Album?}. Take your time. If it doesn't come out next year or the year after , so be it. -

Oct 27, 2017I recently read one interview with Rivers Cuomo where he said "To me this {Pacific Daydream} is the most different-sounding Weezer record ever". He's not wrong, only this is also arguably the most boring album they've made to date.
I only hope that if the Black Album ever gets made it's damn good otherwise I think I'm done. -
Oct 28, 2017We belong in the rock world
There is so much left to do
If we die in obscurity, oh well
At least we raised some hell
{Back To The Shack}
Pacific Daydream is an insult to Weezer fans. Evolving and experimenting with different sounds is good up to a point, but this lazy excuse of an album is something else. -

Oct 27, 2017I'd like to give this a lower score, but as a fan {former fan?} I just can't do it. Pacific Daydream is arguably a career nadir for Weezer. 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. -

Oct 27, 2017The 'Daydream' of the title should have been changed to snoozefest. Weezers latest might well be their most underwhelming and disappointing. There's barely a song on the album that merits repeated listenings. Totally forgettable.
-
Oct 27, 2017One of the most boring albums that I've ever listened to. I've listened to the album a few times now and can barely remember any of the songs. Weekend Woman is the only reason that I'm rating this higher than a 0. Overproduced.
I thought Weezer would never go down this road again but look where we are. Thanks for the crappy music! -
Oct 27, 2017With only 2-3 memorable songs this release is mediocre compared to the White album. The sunny, pop-melodies are nice for a moment, but become predictable and unsurprising. We know Weezer can make good, solid albums, but this one falls short on quite some levels. It's not bad in any way, it just does not deliver the same goosebumps as many songs from the White album.
-
Oct 27, 2017It's not a terrible album, it's just a terrible weezer album and an example of a band trying to be something that they aren't. This album was really disappointing,

Dec 15, 2017This is even worse than Raditude, which is saying a lot. Overproduced, autotuned, and with terribly fake sounding drums. The songwriting is lazy and lacks any edge. It is a shame because the last two albums were really good. This album made this big Weezer fan angry. and I'm not one of those that only likes the first 2 or 3 records.
-
Nov 2, 2017There was almost no worthwhile musicality present in this work, with tasteless melodies that lack any strong harmonic tendencies and disastrous synthetic sounds within bleak and prescribed instrumentation creating a dreary and unsettling album that could only possibly appeal to the musically immature. My Score: 79/180 (Bad) = 4.4/10
-
Nov 13, 2017Honestly I expected so much more from them. There are a few standouts, but the rest of it is underwhelming. I love Weezer, but I do not love this album. I have faith that they will make more music that I enjoy in the future.

Oct 27, 2017Raditude is better than Pacific Daydream and Raditude is a horrible album. Congrats Weezer for somehow making your worst album after releasing two of your best.
-
Oct 30, 2017I'm gonna be as lazy as this Album sounds, so, like other user said before, "Pacific Daydream is an insult to Weezer fans". .

Nov 23, 2017It's a pretty decent pop effort from Weezer. The lyrics are questionable at some points, and the production polish sort of irons-out the humanity a little bit, but the songs are there, and those catch choruses will get in your head. Listen to this one with an open mind though.
-
Oct 28, 2017Ok maybe I need to get this a few more listens. But at first glance some songs are ok, while the majority just instantly caught me. Gorgeous sound and melody! Yet again, this might be a sign that the songs might be somewhat simple. Don´t know. Just can say that for the moment it is a very very enjoyable album for me.

Nov 27, 2017Much of the album’s electro-lite flavoring does provide some hummable moments, but as the cringingly tricked out Mexican Fender and stomping chants of La Mancha Screwjob suggest, they’re most likely to suffer a slow and gradual death at your local Forever 21.
-
MagnetNov 21, 2017The lyrics are often stupid as hell. ... What's novel about Pacific Daydream is that its giant, overcompressed choruses really do burrow their way into your skull. [No. 148, p.51]

Nov 3, 2017It’s the ever-present hint of neurosis in Rivers Cuomo’s voice and vaguely bi-polar lyrics (thankfully not produced using the cut-up technique he employed for last year’s self-titled release) that give this band their perennial edge of strangeness, and reaffirm Weezer’s unique place in American rock fans’ affections.
