I think ALA is really a teenager from 1995 and just time traveled from that year and that's why he has these feelings about Pinkterton

'If everyone's a little queer, can't they be a little straight?'



Always really liked that line tbh.

Here's it a 2nd time : "Oh this isn't ... TOO bad ... i'll give it a 2.5"

3rd time : "OH MY GOD BEST ALBUM EVER"

"um, i literally just said there's a difference between a grower and "aging well""



like you mean its staying power right? because otherwise i don't really follow you. and like i said, the album has gained a cult classic status and is beloved by most weezer fans. as for your personal viewpoint for its "aging", you do you bro but when considering your 'implying etc.' comment it's not really valid in this discussion

I guess what I said doesn't even make sense in the first place honestly. It was mostly just a crappy dis. Pinkerton hasn't aged well in my opinion, but it's not the general consensus, so I suppose it doesn't really matter.

I couldn't imagine Pinkterton would be as good without the lyrics

I was going to try to explain the difference between growing and aging well and now it's bothering me that I can't

Well growing is when you like something more and more with repeated listens, or new perspectives. Aging well is something still sounding as good after years/months

Album Rating: 4.5

yes thank you

well put fullofsounds

Growing on someone simply means you come to enjoy it more with time, ageing well means that in the context of the artists later works and looking at it from the perspective of a different musical era, it still continues to have the appeal that it did originally. You can't really judge how well something has aged unless you were there when it was current, and ageing doesn't really have as much to do with personal taste as it does comparing different eras and sensibilities.

Also much much more generally growing on someone can happen very quickly. For example I recently checked out Spiderland and I only rated it a 3 on first listen but within just a couple weeks it had already grown on me to the point that I increased my rating to a 4.5. But I can't accurately judge how well it has aged as a piece of music because I wasn't there in 1991 when it was released. I can attempt to consider how I would have viewed it at the time but I can't know for sure, and I can compare the general reception to it now as compared to then but that is not really me judging how well it has aged.

Speaking of aging well... Wondering how well this'll hold up this upcoming summer.

Album Rating: 4.5

Still holds up strong for me. I think this is probably their best album since Pinkerton.

I'm setting the over/under on The Black Album's Avg being at 3.1 a month after its release.

betting on a 2.8 and also to see EWBAITE's average to drop .2 points from people who were like 'wtf rivers you lied'.

Album Rating: 4.5

that's too high. based on the only single I'd say over/under of like 2.6

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah sput is too pissed for it to be in the 3s

Album Rating: 4.5

I'll wait to actually listen but it certainly seems that sput has already determined that it will be a pile

I hold out for the slightest bit of hope that maybe its just another bad single that works better in context or gets overshadowed by everything else (like thank god for girls on here) but another part of me knows to not get my hopes up.
