Nov 25, 2017just because this doesn't sound exactly like older weezer doesn't mean it's automatically bad. this is a SUPER solid record. give it a shot. really strong, catchy songs. "la mancha screwjob" and "sweet mary" are two favorites right now.

Oct 28, 2017This's isn't their very best album, but it's their worst album either-------
Pacific daydream lies in the middle ground and capture the lighthearted songs that we used to listen from WEEZER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Oct 27, 2017Weezer is in a good state right now and I love the catchy and big bridges that really define this album, no it's not as good as the white album or EWBAITE but it's a close second

Nov 2, 2017Can't stop listening to this. I've never been a fan, but this is a game changer. If you love pop, this is the gold standard. So sweet, so perfect. I loved it from the moment I heard it.
-
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 3, 2017Weezer bring back the pop experimentation seen on some of their less acclaimed albums, this time getting it right. Essentially different from last year's White Album, but still an enjoyable listen.
-
Nov 7, 2017Have played it over and over a couple times this week. River has the knack to write catchy tunes and keep a good mix of that rock with some pop. Notable standouts: Beach Boys, Feels like summer, happy hour, weekend woman.
-
Oct 28, 2017Weekend Woman, Qb Blitz and Sweet Mary are very good songs, despite the fact of this is a very different Weezer's album,.They are trying to innovate.The last tracks are the best. Beach Boys and happy hour are terrible

Oct 27, 2017It may not be the perfect album for an old Weezer fan, but if you enjoy pop-rock, and good music in general, Pacific Daydream has enjoyable songs and summer vibes. I actually think the album is 7.5+ over 10, and it's completely recommendable for anyone who wants to chill with a simple, but efective record.

Mar 6, 2018I thought it was really good weezer tried something new it might not worked to many but it did to me Trying to be a rock band in he 21st century so good for them for going with there gut. also if you want a second blue album go Listen to the actual blue album thx
:D -
Jun 22, 2020A great pop-rock album. That's all it is. Many are disappointed that there isn't "le crunchy guitar tone" but tbh? who. cares. Rivers has eclectic musical tastes. Maybe it's time more weezer fans do too.

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.
-
Nov 29, 2019Less like EWBAITE and White, back to being a bit more electronic, but still an enjoyable album with plenty of Weezerness.

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.

Mar 1, 2019This is probably the 2nd time I have fully listened to this album. Weekend Woman is the best song on this album.
-
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 1, 2019it has some of the worst weezer work. Beach boys and happy hour are awful , anyway there are some good songs like mexican guitars , sweet mary or weekend woman . The rest its just meh..
this album doesnt have a clear concept and thats make pacific daydream even worst.
Pd: I have to say that i love the artwork and the album title -
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.

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 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
-
Apr 29, 2020This album was pretty inconsistent. I loved a few songs, such as Get Right, but there were some absolute misses here. It is definitely not Weezer's worst though.

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. -
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 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 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". .
-
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, 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 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

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. -
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.
-
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, 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,
-
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.

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.
