Music review: Weezer – ‘White Album’
无毛视频淎n infectious combination of catchy melodies and rock breakdowns无毛视频� is the way my fellow co-worker and longtime Weezer fan Liz Wilson describes the alt-rock quartet无毛视频檚 latest effort. Weezer无毛视频檚 10th studio release and fourth self-titled album possessing a color theme serves as a spirited follow-up to 2014无毛视频檚 无毛视频淓verything Will Be Alright in the End.无毛视频�
Lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Rivers Cuomo finds lyrical inspiration in an airy beach album that examines the eclectic elements of the Los Angeles landscape. By carefully extracting successful ingredients from Weezer无毛视频檚 debut release and 1996无毛视频檚 无毛视频淧inkerton,无毛视频� Cuomo playfully channels Brian Wilson depicting the colorful Golden State lifestyle while delivering the perfect summer soundtrack.
无毛视频淐alifornia Kids无毛视频� opens by initiating a warm reception with Cuomo reassuringly singing, 无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 gonna be alright/If you无毛视频檙e on a sinking ship/The California Kids will throw you a lifeline.无毛视频�
This sing-out-loud number features Cuomo sounding like a teenager with no worries, no place to be and in no rush to get there through his innocent and nostalgic vocals.
无毛视频淲ind in Our Sails无毛视频� carries the optimism of a budding romance when the world is at your feet and new adventures await to be experienced.
无毛视频淭hank God for Girls无毛视频� finds Cuomo delivering a whimsical musing about the glorious wonders of women. My co-worker emphasizes that this offering is the most unique song on the album.
She goes on to say that it无毛视频檚 so weird, but it无毛视频檚 so Weezer and that无毛视频檚 why we love them.
无毛视频淜ing of the World无毛视频� serves as a straightforward pop song describing the desire to valiantly always be there for your partner with Cuomo confidently announcing, 无毛视频淲e are the small fish/We swim together/No Prozac or Valium/We无毛视频檒l face tsunamis together.无毛视频�
While the Beach Boys offered 无毛视频淐alifornia Girls无毛视频� to describe the sun-kissed surfer girls of their fantasies, Cuomo无毛视频檚 ode to these coastal beauties is packaged in 无毛视频淟.A. Girlz.无毛视频� Sounding a lot like Butch Walker from his days with Marvelous 3, Cuomo无毛视频檚 awkwardness around women is highlighted as he declares, 无毛视频淟.A. girls, please act your age/You treat me like I have the plague.无毛视频�
无毛视频淓ndless Bummer无毛视频� brings things to an acoustic close with a mellowness that follows after reflecting on the memories of a summer to remember. Suddenly, we are all reminded that summer can无毛视频檛 be endless like the Beach Boys promised us back in 1974.
Weezer and Panic! at the Disco make an appearance at Pittsburgh无毛视频檚 Stage AE on July 3.
