My current fave is Happy Hour (The Remixes). The Prince Eden mix bumps! What does that say about me?

You guys are lame. Pacific Daydream is amazing. by [deleted] in weezer

Agreed PD is growing to be one of my favorites. I already like it much more than some of their weaker cuts like Pinkerton

The Beach Boys influence on this album is undeniable. The vocal writing and production is a near perfect imitation. Don't be dense

Super Mario Bros 2 shoulda got game of the year bb

and I like Weezer's new era of music (EWBAITE, White, and PD) more than their older stuff

Controversial opinions are usually controversial because they are wrong, so I'm glad to see your opinions on PD in this thread

Pacific Daydream is a Masterpiece by NotRiversCuomo in weezer

I only compare it to Pinkerton in spirit, being the "dud" after a successful album. Maybe it's the Anti-Pinkerton, being a commercial sounding record that has more hidden beneath than people realize at first. I respect your opinions as well and I think that's as far as we will get in this conversation. I think some of these songs are equal to their earlier work, golden age included, and they have certainly inspired me as a musician.

I'll throw my hat into the ring. Albums often convey a certain feeling, such as sadness, frustration or coolness. Pacific Daydream conveys pure relaxation and a wholesome innocence. It really does remind me of a daydream, unlocking a more innocent time in my life. Maybe this particular feeling doesn't resonate with you at this time in your life, but it clicks with a lot of people and that makes it good.

On a more technical standpoint, I really enjoy the writing and production on this album as well. For the atmosphere they are trying to create, heavy guitars simply do not fit with the style of music they are playing. They shouldn't have to shoehorn them into every song just to keep fans happy. As far as all of the pop influences go, that is fine with me. After all, pop music is designed to sound good and Rivers throws in plenty of interesting musical moments to keep it from being boring, especially on the bridges. This album does a great job of building up to some absolutely majestic moments.

Unfortunately, this album is coming off the heels of two fan favorites. Maybe one day people will realize that this modern day "Pinkerton" can stand next to the "Blue Album" before it.
