Hopefully this is as good as his last solo album. I must disagree with the above poster as well, challengers was a bore and I hope this has some more diverse song structures and tempos! I saw TNP at All Points West and they put on a good show, A.C. is very funny. This song is ho-hum.

Come to think of it, I wish Rivers had included some more "Rivers Cuomo Band" tracks (if there are any more that he recorded). I would love a real version of "1000 years".

Man, these old Weezer songs really break my heart. Purification of Water, Paper Face, Prettiest Girl, Walt Disney... man what the hell happened to Weezer? Bah, I could philosophize about Rivers and that damned band all day..

Stereogum, I can understand if you dislike the album (although I am throughly impressed) but it seems foolish to claim that danger mouse "saved" it. As far as I know he's not a producer here (although, yes, he does) but is more a member of the band. So if there are qualms, I would argue that he shares 50/50 in the blame.

yeah, I mean I usually agree with the 'gum and I'm a HUGE Breeders fan, but I can't wrap my brain around this yet. A few stand out songs, "Istanbul" (or "The She Pt. 2) & "Bang On", but the rest are so far not doing it for me. Title TK was a real slow burn, so hopefully something will happen "down there". In regards to the album art, yeah that's Pixies through and through. Here's a question: does Kelly smoke cigs? I know Kim chain smokes (saw it first hand) and you can DEFINITELY tell it in her voice, but Kelly sounds almost youthful in comparison... None-the-less, it's nice to have the gals back!
