the concept demo rivers put together that turned into ewbaite, kept some songs of it for the album and some not

this ecce omo gem didn’t make the album for example altho they did recorded it in the sessions but they dropped it way later as an exclusive vinyl to the official fanclub and man what a heartbreaking bridge, should’ve been on the album, that falsetto....

ok we back to serious music talk, s*** you’ll only find itt you hate to see it haters, keep creeping!

1 mexican is white left over and here to bring some weezer balance to the album imo, used to not dig the guitar attack thru the verses by the storytelling takes over and the instrumental leave room for that kinda like back to the shack - and it pays greatly off to set up the chorus and the amazing beach boys feel to it, the bridge is one of the best moment of the album and all in all you get in retrospective a song that really progresses through out despite starting off tame

2 love the bass game on beach boys, it’s interesting how ppl felt so strong when it first came out but now looking back they’re more cool with it - was it an album ahead of its time or were ppl too struck on the white album?

3 THANK U!!!! SONG IS A BOP just take it as it is altho ofc coming after white it was doomed but it’s a necessary evil and rivers took that risk, that’s why mexican fender exists now you get it

4 the most dancing weezer song ever and ill never have it any other way, a grower if you’re a weezer old school stan but immediate if you’re new to them, the harmonic tag at the end is real cars hours

5 weekend is godly rivers penned, bridge is so nintense even tho it sounds nothing like pinkerton it has that gut feeling only rivers writes you know? YOU KNOW that song comes from real story and real pain...

6 the verses on this always hits me hard...
did you notice the percussion and the bas when they come in on the first chorus and super pet sounds it is? go listen back to it you’ll see

7 nothing to add to this but thank you for noticing it unlike others who just listens to weezer with 90s glasses “if it doesn’t have crunchy guitars it’s a no”, godspeed brother you a real one

8 it’s someone fav itt, i can see where you coming from but to me coming after those two songs above it’s a welcome bop

9 tru dat- jacked up is a fav of mine and this one is so catchy it blows my mind it’s this late in the tracklist and not a main single some artists would kill for this, but being this late the song help pick up the pace again and what makes it for a such amazing album

10 the lyrics on this one deserves more praise, so beautiful and from the heart - again who else other than cuomo to do this today?

that’s a great summary and someone said itt it does feel like a trilogy with white and ewbaite so your comparison is interesting and i def see it, it does makes a lot of sense actually yeah - to me however for how much i will tell newcomers itt to go to white bc it’s that weezerish and instant - pd hits harder overall

love you brother thank you again

I love your passion for music man. I guess I wasn't focused on the lyrics and storytelling as much as I should have been. Seems like a big part of the appeal for you.

And sure enough, I've had the chorus for Beach Boys in my head all day lol.
