Album Asking for a Ride out January 27th. "Pages" is out now and goes for Alternative and Triple A adds next week.
This is solid.

More classic White Reaper goodness. Absolutely timeless alternative rock with catchy hooks everywhere, especially in the perfect chorus. My primary gripe is that it ends way too soon; I feel like this could have easily lasted another minute and they left too much on the table.

Definitely on my "to listen" list, was just thinking how I'm ready for new stuff from them after some songs from You Deserve Love came up on my shuffle.

White Weezer. It's not too bad.

I’ve been following the band members’ individual Instagrams & by the looks of their posts I had been hoping for a while new material was on the way. This is very reminiscent of old school Weezer & I’m on board for it. I agree on the complaint that it’s a bit too short. I was left expecting at least a bridge at some point but still solid nonetheless. I’m ready for this next album.

Another banger from them. My first thought was that it mixed the melodic sensibility of their last album with the rawer garage rock feel of their earlier stuff. But the early Weezer comparison works too.

This should be called “Sophomore Slump” This is the lead single to their fourth album. Solid comeback from them. All three of their albums have been ace, so looking forward to the new one next year. |

Thankfully this was great. I'm glad this isn't like Highly Suspects new stuff where a band has a few great stuff and then their new stuff just disappoints.

Apologies, Major Label Sophomore Slump!
Sorry, these guys are good, but there is nothing special here, to me they sound like a Cheap Trick Tribute Band with a couple tracks of their own, not that it's a bad thing compared to the other crap currently on the charts.

The new album is out and really solid. I'm pleasantly surprised Elektra let them basically go back to their punk roots. Complete balls to the wall on this one.
As for singles, I get why they chose this. It's easily the most radio friendly song on the record. I hope they send "Fog Machine" next.

Gets the Billboard AAA #1 this week. This is their 1st #1 for the format.

Now this is a great song to hit #1 for AAA. Really love the 70s power-pop sound they have here.

This really doesn't do much for me. It's not bad, just nothing special. Surprised it's top 10 when "Real Long Time" barely went top 20
