"This Is Such A Pity," Weezer

[Deleted]

This is the third single from Make Believe according to the band. It's my favorite song on the album, so I'm glad about this especially after I was disappointed with their decision to release "We Are All On Drugs". I would have basically been fine with this or "Perfect Situation".

Yeah, I would have preferred "PS" but this is good too. I assume this will follow up "BH" on Pop.

Oh crap. I thought this was an oldie after hearing this like 30 times on Sirius. I like it more than "Beverly Hills", but I haven't decided if I like it more than "We Are All On Drugs".

[allow that]

This is one of the best single releases of the year. I absolutely love it.

[halo19]

Finally, they release one of the songs that's up to par with classic Weezer. My favorite on the album.

[sleepy time]

Great choice.

[jond7699]

Did WAOD flop already ???

[halo19]

I wouldn't call Top 10 on Alternative a "flop", especially considering the vastly superior "Island in the Sun" never got there.

[pen]

Ugh. I hate this song. I wish they'd release Perfect Situation.

[Love Plastic Love]

Cant wait to hear it-I was disappointed with this era at first, but the first two singles grew on me.

[kingLUKE22]

Wow... this really surprised me based on how the last two singles sounded. Does this remind anyone else of a very 80s The Cure sound? I love it.

[Ragin]

This is the best song on the album. Glad to see it released. This should do a little something on pop too I would think.

[alexcuse]

Thankfully, they released this song. This will give them a wider target group of consumers than those who bought the album based only on Beverly Hills and We Are All on Drugs.

[Love Plastic Love]

I like this!

[Slinky]

I like this. All I'm wondering is how did a Killers song get on the Weezer CD?

[Gold Soundz]

It is definitely 80's inspired, but I don't think it sounds like the Killers. Sure, the production is extremely clean, but the lyrics and the way Rivers sings the track is very Weezer. I REALLY hope they do an acoustic version of this song for the single.

[Ky]

i really like this song

[kellydicted]

Oh my God, this song is amazing! I love it!

[SyrupBoy]

Even though it's an unabashed Cars tribute, this may be their best single since the Pinkerton era. That is, if they're smart enough to release it as a single. If Perfect Situation flops at radio, it might not happen, and that would be a damn shame.

[No Brake$]

With Perfect Situation going to #1 on Alternative, do you think that TISAP will get an adds date? I think this can go #1 as well with or w\o a video. Honestly, the best Weezer track this decade, and perhaps one of the best Alternative tracks this decade.

[Matt4319]

This song is overrated.

Just a little. But it's still an awesome song. I think this could become a Pop hit.

The album mostly sucks, and this is the best thing on it. It's overrated for a reason.

[tortuga]

Its listed on FMQB - going for adds on March 6th.

Great news!

[Krypton46]

I'm glad this is seeing a release. It should have been released second after "Beverly Hills" instead of "We Are All On Drugs", or even third. Even though it's a fourth single, it'll be coming off a #1 song in "Perfect Situation" so this should perform just fine.

[No Brake$]

I think that this is so different from Weezer, or anything else right now, that this will perform amazing regardless of who it is and being a fourth single. I think this could be #1 for the year on alternative.

Yes! Once I heard this for the first time on Sirius' Alt Nation a couple months ago, I was cursing the fact that it wasn't officially released. It easily outpaces the other three singles, and it was the only one to reflect favorably on me on first impression. I just love that quasi-new wave sound it has since I'm just a sucker for that type of music. I'd love to see them finally get a #1 from this album that I truly respect, but at the same time, I would be surprised if this gets a "Jesus of Suburbia"-type of screwjob.

Interestingly, I heard this song at Big 5 (a Northwest sporting goods chain a la The Sports Authority) last weekend. It totally caught me by surprise that such a song (especially one that isn't a single yet) would get played as background music in a store. Then again, I've heard "What If" by Coldplay at the nearby Taco Bell, which I can never figure out.

[kingLUKE22]

I really think this will be huge. And while at first I was annoyed that "Perfect Situation" took the spot of the third single, I think its huge popularity will help propel this along.

[pen]

I've shared my feelings on this song more than enough but since I got my wish with Perfect Situation being the third single, it'd be unfair for people not to get this song for the fourth, and actually it might be a nice way to close out the whole Make Believe era.

I dunno, I was originally hostile toward this song since it sounded so unlike what I usually expect from Weezer and since I was kind of holding a grudge toward dance rock at the time, but I've mellowed down some since then and this song actually isn't that bad.

I think I was just more upset about the thought of it being the last in a line of otherwise emotionally-braindead single picks as opposed to songs that I thought were truly much better, but now that Perfect Situation had a good run, I can't complain.
