not many ppl brought on dtfm so that’s a welcome! i myself havnt visited it in so long

that’s funny bc turning up the radio was made right around the transition from red to raditude iirc (rivers still had the mustache) and it was a song written by the fans actually lol, with his guide but still! hell the recording features some of the fans original recordings they sent!

it was done through youtube on his channel

here’s a playlist of all of it if you’re curious to go through it and how it went down, even if you don’t love the song it’s a cool process no one else ever did tbh lol that’s my goat yes:

dead at how you mention raditude tho you’re right about the sad song comment tho

here’s something about this album you maybe not aware of and might affect your pov: it’s a bit of an odds and ends album

that was the original plan, it was announced as titled as odd and ends and was gonna be composed of songs recorded by the band that never saw the light of the day and remained unknown even for the fans, so that sounded exciting

the concept was influenced by oasis album the masterplan, it wasn’t an album its a compilation of the bands b sides of that time but it’s so beloved and organic in how it plays and because it’s not titled as compilation but has an original title (well taken from one of the songs title included in it and what a song) and an original artwork it’s usually considered as a canon album

rivers is a huge oasis fan and went back to that and wanted to do his take on this, so instead of b sides it would be songs unheard but the rest is similar, original artwork and title (story behind the title is a catchphrase him and his buddies in highschool used to say, so nerdy i love it) however rivers did retouch some of the songs and re-record parts or add some vocals, sooo is it really a compilation or an album hehhh its up in the air, pretty sure general consensus by now it’s that it is an album but i don’t really think it is because despite all these things to back that up - it’s still weird for me to jump from a song wrote and recorded in like 1998? to one done in 2009

like trampoline is from the hiatus era for example, just before green album, when rivers was heavily digging deep in playing nirvana, IT SHOWS DOESNT IT?

im a robot is like 2004 so make believe sessions then stuff like autopilot and odd couple are red era, just throwin some examples to give u the picture - and where you can hear the re-recording is on songs like blowin my stack also a make believe recording sessions left out, the screaming part is SO 2010 rivers tryna bring back some nirvana, make believe rivers was not like that lol that song is def a stand out

but i love odd couple and autopilot, they both similar within their use of synth in a way that sounds so 70s new wave, kraftwerk inspired which isn’t common in weezer lore

see what i mean? love how he subtlety adds some autotune in one of them too, what a genuis discreet fitting move

the ok computer comment is cool, rivers is certainly an admirer if he named the next album ok human! always love your funny comparisons that no one else comes up with and love your conclusion even better! THANK YOU! im so tired and burned out for them getting bad rap for raditude and being a meme when jesus christ you wanna know when was the last time YOUR goat dropped a classic???? (don’t mean you as you lol just for ppl saying that)

@HeyFella what you think of dtfm?

Aii im done listening to Hurley, and I cant really say I hate this album but its just so boring and nothing really interesting about it I wish I could hate it so it gives me some type of feeling towards it like Rad but I cant.

There are few songs I like Memories for example I liked the messy sound of the song, kinda reminds me little of shoe gaze a little, escpically the chorus, the chorus is absolute perfect, which is funny cuz this album is the opposite of False Death Metal to me, great opener disappointing rest of the way through, with Death Metal the opener the only song I dislike and loved rest of the album.

One other song I liked was Unspoken, I dont remember Rivers singing in a such a soft tone for a while, well in this album and the previous one, and again the chorus is great again.

Also can we just take a moment to hate Where's my sex, we need a 5 minute hate for that song every day.
