Weezer's orchestral pop album is a quirky reflection of life in the COVID-19 pandemic with wonderful arrangements and fantastic production that all flows together to produce a really great album, the kind of album that absolutely nobody expected them to drop in their third decade as a band.
when the sequel to clancy that dropped a mere year after the release of that album opens with a track like city walls you know you're in for an incredible ride
Sometime the annoying label guy telling you to make a dark and heavy album because that's what all the bands that are making money do is actually right and you should listen to him.
An interesting album for sure. I understand why it may be polarizing (ha ha ha) and yet I feel disappointed in the number of people who seem to hate this album for no reason other than it seems to be mimicking the sound of the music Tyler Joseph criticizes in the lyrics on this album.

Far too safe to be consistently interesting. Big fan of Shy Away, The Outside and Redecorate though.
eclectic, very 2013, but an absolutely fantastic album. while i did enjoy the more amateur production on their self titled debut i definitely prefer the more polished sound of this album, it's certainly a better fit for the more fluid, genre-bending style of songwriting that tyler joseph tends to gravitate towards.
beautiful album, tyler joseph is a better songwriter than a lot of people give him credit for, and the production on this album while shaky does give it a Vibe.
I'm not even gonna try and understand the premise of this album but the music is pretty good. Reminds me of Trilogy in some areas which I think is what people have wanted for the past 10 years or something. Feels a little bit like it was written to go hard in a live setting which does leave some of the more repetitive parts sounding a bit...well, repetitive. But I can't really fault it for that.
We have OK Computer at home. It’s pretty good. Chris Martin’s lyrics aren’t always quite there yet but the vibe is.
Nostalgia Critic's The Wall is a parody album that does not know why it is parodying the source material, nor does it know how to be a parody album.
