I'm not Gritty, but I'm gritty @sunshipballoons.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Pinkerton is so heavily themed (even more than the rest of Weezer) because half the songs were from a planned rock opera about rejection 000
Cameron @forkboy84.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Yeah, but there's a reference to ECW on El Scorcho so I can never not love the embarrassing mess. An artist being so honest that he recoils from how cringe he is & never writes a sincere song again. And so we end up Beverly Hills 011
Awesome Bobby @awesomebobby.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Me not listening to Across the Sea: "Man, this is some weird shit" Me listening to Across the Sea: "WHYYYYY ARE YOU SO FAR AWAY FROM ME?!" 060
Gavin (who is back in town) @11mmyjohns.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It’s kind of wild how 5, 7, and 8 - given those completely accurate descriptions - all manage to be extremely good songs. Especially 7 of course 030
Dennis Maxwell @dmax12345.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It’s like The Strokes’s first album. A lot of the same songs! 000
Chris “OH NO! DISASTER! WHAT A BAD IDEA!” Dobbertean’s Monster @bracketdobber.net · 24/09/2026Why I can’t really listen to this album anymore. 030
