Pre-Order Thread

Same but substitute Make Believe with The Green Album. The Green Album was fine but I never connected to it like I had their first two record. Though I do think if they put out some sort of post-Pinkerton greatest hits album it would be pretty brilliant.
i think Green is ok, but the pivot from Pinkerton to Green is so bizarre that I can't listen to them back to back within like 2 weeks of each other
 
Weezer used to be my favorite band but I stoppped listing to them after Make Believe, I just felt Rivers started to do quantity over quality.

Weezer were my favorite band -- I still have my autographed Pinkerton CD from the '96 Pinkerton tour when they played a tiny shitty club in Lauderdale (and I just found the setlist and fuck that was an awesome show) -- but they sort of turned into doucherock after that, so I often joke about how I love their first two albums, before they disappeared and never made another record again la-la-la-i-can't-hear-you. The dorky awkward innocence that I really loved about their first two albums disappeared after that. I don't know if it was Matt Sharp leaving -- the rentals definitely had that silly je-ne-sais-quois, or maybe it was Rivers getting bitter about not everyone realizing Pinkerton was great (honestly I still think Blue > Pinkerton) or what, but they definitely changed in some important hard to classify way. Catchy hooks and memorable choruses aren't theirs exclusively, but they did it so well, and it sucked and still sucks, that now their catchy hooks and choruses have this miasma of dickheadishness and forced humor over it.
Side Note: I would be all over a pressing of Matt Sharp’s The Rentals - Return Of The Rentals on wax.

oh yes. yes please.

FOR SHOEGAZE FANS!

Less than 20 left at the time I write this. Long out of print and always goes for lots of money. The debut album by Shoegaze band Fleeting Joys. They release albums in very limited quantities so get this now if you can.

When I saw them on Pinkerton they played every song from the first two albums plus a couple b-sides with the only exception being Only In Dreams. It was a perfect Weezer show.

Back in like 2010...maybe, they were doing a tour where the first night they would play the Blue Album all the way through and the 2nd night they would play Pinkerton from beginning to end. We went for the Pinkerton concert and it was fantastic they played the album completely then came back for a 2nd set and played almost all of the Blue Album plus pretty much every single they had released up until that point. It was a blast.

Yah I had a coworker ask me if I would go to that and I said, "no. I mean, I was there." Which is the most music snob response I've ever given.

I need more bands to do these playing-an-album-from-front-to-back shows...I love them so much.

When I lived back in Illinois, we would go every year to the Pitchfork Music Fest and for awhile they did a series (it might have been called “Don’t Look Back”, something like that) Where They would have artists play a classic album all the way through. We were lucky enough to see; Sonic Youth Play Daydream Nation, Sebasoh play Bubble & Scrape, Slint play Spiderland and The Gza play Liquid Sword, Public Enemy play It Takes a Nation..., and Mission To Burma play Vs.

More recently we caught the band Why? Play Alopecia in its entirety.

good stuff.

I saw that WHY? show too, it was a lot of fun. Mike Doughty playing Ruby Vroom was another standout for me (and he somehow managed to not spend the entire night complaining about Soul Coughing, which I'm sure was really tough for him).
 
New Flyying Colours is finally out now for preorder.



This one has taken a long time to get released. Really good Shoegaze stuff. Highly recommend it.

Unfortunately it's pricey...
If anyone has a cheaper option for this please let me know. I've been waiting for this for a while. Thanks
