He's never less than easy on the ear, but these maudlin tropes may be more annoying than the cryptic gibberish of "Dope Nose." If this is the best track on the album I'll cry.Įrick Bieritz: It’s a lazy, smugly-executed song with an equally pointless video. Criticisms like ‘too simple’ or ‘tired formula’ would miss the point: this sounds like a band that wants to wrap things up and go home after playing all night for a demanding crowd.Īnthony Miccio: The music recalls "Undone" and the delivery is reminiscent of "El Scorcho." Too bad Rivers hasn't learned a thing about life since he last vented his frustrations almost a decade ago (sounds like he's lost a few neurons, actually). I mean, I liked “Hashpipe” and that was no “Buddy Holly.” But this is pretty dire. Matt Chesnut: Nah, this song can’t be as bad as everyone says it is. Or in other words, I’d still rather listen to this than Simple Plan. But it’s Weezer, a band I have loved intensely since I was 13, and so no matter how cheesy the digital guitar solo, no matter how self-pitying the lyrics are, no matter how joyless and hookless this is, I’d still rather listen to this train wreck than any track equally dire from a band I didn’t used to love. Ian Mathers: I think I may be failing my critical duties by not giving this a zero.
All this, and more foreign language sex from Pitbull and Lil’ Jon, this week on Singles Going Steady! His week in singles-System of a Down throw an anti-government BBBQ, Weezer head for the hills, 112 stop playing coy, Gwen Stefani resents that insinuation but still loves fruit, and Baby Bash is back, baby (finally!).
