Apr 11, 2016There's a few good songs on this album although, most of them are repetitive in sound. Artistically it doesn't break any barriers or push music forward. I felt as if it was stale at times, and upbeat at others. Solid 6.5
-
Apr 7, 2016As a fan it pains me to say it but this is sadly another patchy offering from Weezer . They've been 'treading water' now for a long time and maybe it's time to call it a day.
-
Apr 1, 2016As a long-time fan I am undoubtedly biased, but this album - like 2014's Everything Will Be Alright In The End - is Weezer at their best. A fantastic mix of 90s-reminiscent tracks (e.g. Do You Wanna Get High, LA Girlz), upbeat pop-rock (e.g. Wind In Our Sail, King of the World) and interesting new directions (e.g. Thank God For Girls, Jacked Up). A perfect summer album.
-
Apr 2, 2016Possibly their best since Pinkerton. Every song is immensely fun and infectiously catchy. The perfect album to take you into the summer and a clear continuation of Weezer's winning streak. Surpassed my high expectations after the excellent EWBAITE.

Apr 1, 2016Many fans were scared that the previous album `ewbaite` was a special one time thing but this wonderful beach blast reassures us that Weezer still know what they`re doing.
-
Apr 1, 2016Flawed? Yes. "But, it's a worthy successor to EWBAITE and a great addition to Weezer's discography. Weezer is back and kicking it again... which does make you wonder. Why did it take so long to get here again?
-
Apr 1, 2016This is easily my fourth favorite weezer album. it has so many freking amazing songs the whole album is a master piece in every single way and i love it it flows so well the lyrics are great the vocals are great. 10/10 in every way only sorta flaw lyrics on thank god for girls other then that its flawless
-
Apr 4, 2016A true return to awesome... Finally one of my favorite bands of all time sound like themselves again! My favorite entire Weezer album since Pinkerton. In my opinion this album like Pinkerton will just continue to grow on me like a poppy fungal infection that hurts but damn does it rock!
-
Apr 1, 2016If you don't like this summer feel good pop punk masterpiece you might be a jaded normie. The low points of EWBAITE are missing, Pinkerton it may not be, maybe closer to a Green Album without bad songs this time around

Apr 2, 2016Weezer's fourth self-titled is undoubtedly a summer record. It keeps you up all the time, it's drenched in everlasting youth and teen spirit. Weezer shows with the White Album, that even after 10 albums, they can be the students of a style that they created and used to be teachers.
Best Tracks: Wind In Our Sail, Thank God For Girls, Do You Wanna Get High -

Apr 1, 2016While still incorporating elements from their entire catalog and mixing in a few new ideas, Weezer has finally returned to their 90's roots with The White Album. And I thought EWBAITE was good!
-
Apr 11, 2016Great cohesive album. California Kids, Do You Wanna Get High, King of the World, and Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori are classic Weezer, while Jacked Up is different but very refreshing.
-
Apr 1, 2016Return to form and classic fun. We can't expect another 90s masterpiece but you can't help but smile through this album. Guitar solos galore. Melodies that make you cry as well.

Apr 2, 2016This is my third favorite album. There are still some small things that could make it better, but overall it is amazing. I really liked the use of the piano, and discovering that new style. Great album weezer!
-
Apr 2, 2016Summer Elaine leading into LA girlz is the second coming! What an album! Cannot wait until I take this album to Jamiaca next week and blast on the beach!
-
Apr 5, 2016A true return to form!! I think people will learn to appreciate this much more in the future, like how Pinkerton took a while to become acknowledged as a fantastic album. Fans of the Blue Album and Pinkerton will love this
-
Apr 9, 2016Finally a Weezer album that sounds like Weezer. Glad to see they are satisfied with being themselves again after wandering in the musical woods for a few albums.

Apr 4, 2016ill be honest and say i really loved their last album more than this. this one still has to grow on me but so far girl we got a good thing is my favorite. short album, dont need to skip a track.
-
Apr 15, 2016This isn't anything new in 2016, but it's the best music Weezer's made since the 90s and mostly thoroughly enjoyable for any fan of this kind of music. It never feels forced, gimmicky, etc., which is a massive accomplishment considering their 2000s body of work.

Apr 4, 2016This album is great. I was extremely shocked they totally went back to a 90s sound. the only thing i was not really impressed with was the titles of the songs.I feel they are a little un-creative although; i think they might have wanted to go with a very simple title considering the name of the album is called "the white album'
-
Apr 5, 2016Do I think this album is great? No! But it is enjoyable and exactly what I needed in that moment so Weezer, thanks for an enjoyable 34 minutes that frankly made my day.

Mar 26, 2018Probably the best Weezer album. Every song is better than the last one and even the duds are amazing tracks. I keep coming back to this album like once a month.
-
Jul 15, 2016This is a classic weezer album, is very enjoyable to listen, its not hard... its not their best album yet, but neighter their worst. It has some awesome tracks in it, but not a single one thats gonna be memorable as their old stuff.
-
Jul 20, 2016The best thing about Weezer albums, for me, is always hanging out at home and singing the songs really loudly with my friends. Since I couldn't do that this time, I had to listen about 3 times before I caught up with myself. It's a good album.
-
Sep 4, 2016Despite having the worst song titles of any album in 2016 the music and lyrics are surprisingly good. Plus the fact that a band can make albums as bad as 'Raditude' and 'Make believe' and then release something even passable, yet alone great is enough for me to give this a 10.

Jul 16, 2018Best Weezer's album since Pinkerton. Returning to roots, with pinchs of modernity, nostalgia and even rap parts. One of the most tasteful albuns to listen, until band blows their song one year later.
-
Dec 28, 2017Rivers explores a sonic mid ground between blue and Pinkerton with all of the pop sensibility of the Green album. On top of that the bridges and experimentation elevate the album above its predecessors in my opinion, especially on SEADD and Jacked Up.
-
Apr 15, 2021A beautiful, incredible album that sees the band take back their crowns as music legends.

Feb 4, 2020At first I didn't care for this album at all but after a couple listens, it's grown on me. I wouldn't say it's a great album but it's probably slightly above average for Weezer. Disappointing after EWBAITE imo but still alright. A few tracks which stood out to me were LA Girlz and Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori. Thank God For Girls is a pretty bad track though imo

Jan 27, 2019I don't have much time, so I'll say this: I've listened through this album dozens of times. Never gets old. This may be controversial, but I believe that it is better than Pinkerton and Blue. An extremely worthy predecessor to EWBAITE, a very solid record.
-
Feb 19, 2019This is how a Weezer album should be. Not a rehash of Blue and Pinkerton, but not throwaway. In the case of white, incorporating California and piano prominence is what made this album so amazing.
-
May 23, 2020Amazing. One of weezer's best albums. Catchy choruses, great hooks, amazing vocals and instrumentals
-
Aug 3, 20222nd beat weezer album of all time and truly the return to peak weezer. This is the most under played and under appreciated album of all time.

Jan 31, 2021Amongst the best Weezer albums. Not as good as the first two records, but damn does this have fire tracks like summer Elaine and drunk Dori and California kids, really amazing
-
May 10, 2021Without question, this is one of Weezer's best albums ever made. It mixes the best of all their sounds from the past two decades and creates a unique and cohesive whole that is 100% them. Even the bonus tracks are gems. This is essential listening for not just Weezer fans, but anyone who likes alternative rock.

Apr 18, 2016While the band may never again reach the heights of their two ‘90s albums, The White Album is just as listenable as those second era albums.
-
Apr 15, 2016[Cuomo's] eccentricities slip out from the cracks in his carefully constructed songs. Sinclair wisely decides to accentuate all these quirks, whether they derive from Cuomo or the band's interplay, so The White Album crackles underneath its tight presentation.
-
MagnetApr 15, 2016Weezer, the 10th album by Weezer, is about as good (or bad, your call) as Weezer, several measures worse than Weezer, and a once-you-hear-it, you'll-never-unhear-it skid mark on the shorts of Weezer. [No. 130, p.51]
