    that’s funny bc idk if rivers has ever shared the actual original red tracklist

    not sure at top of my head if i can put things together of what would’ve been, ima have to research back into it but i sure can give you my alternative take on what a perfect red would be

    1 pork and beans
    2 greatest man
    3 troublemaker
    4 miss sweeney
    5 dreamin’
    6 pig
    7 heart songs
    8 king
    9 the angel and the one
    10 the spider

    now isn’t that a classic rivers penned that lives up to a 10 out of 10 classic weezer quality album?

    (i switched up the order to make it flow together better)

    @Choking @deepsleep

    a whole lotta red...

    Wish there were demo versions of Perfect Situation and Damage In Your Heart like the Haunt You Every Day and Such a Pity ones we have now. I’m relistening to Make Believe and I’m kinda confused now in retrospect why it’s so hated. It’s nowhere near as bad as Raditude and not as bland as Hurley and to a lesser extent Green and Black. It’s for sure a pop album, but the songwriting is still solid. Most songs on here could be reworked into great ones. Most of these melodies are incredibly pleasant and very rarely grating or corny. Pardon Me and My Best Friend grew on me. It certainly would have much much better if it reflected its demos more but it’s totally fine as their big commercial “sell out” record.

    And speaking of pleasant melodies, I always wished Rivers would eventually use this melody for something.

    there’s this damage in your heart demo

    perfect situation too but the one that’s on yt is not the best take lol rivers does a horrible solo on it

    pardon me used to be a fav of mine from that album, also there’s a demo of my best friend there that is pretty cool with a beach boys harmonies acapella intro before it goes into the song, it’s the best part of it and funny that rivers cut it out but i can see why he did bc it doesn’t reallly click with the rest of the song, feels disconnected

    wish too that rivers would use this melody of what is this i find or blast off but he’s cursed with these songs: he knows all the fans knows them and loves them if he uses them and changes all the lyrics he will be buried alive by the fans, and he can’t really use these melodies and keep their lyrics out of context since it tells an opera story .. so it’s either he finishes sftbh or leaves it behind and i think he knows that

    don’t we all wish he could do something with superfriend?

    my pick of a song or melody he would finish or use would be this:

    love the end with the piano notes..

    pork and beans is amazing bc oldheads think rivers was rooting for them by sayjng “timbaland knows how to reach the top of the charts maybe if i work with him i can perfect the art” as if it were sarcastic

    but no rivers meant that and the chorus “imgonna do the things that i wanna do i don’t give a oot about what you think” that wasn’t aimed at pop charters superstars producers

    that was for the oldheads
