They had some good songs in the past but it’s over for them now.

I haven’t been too much of a fan since after “Pinkerton” and “Pork and Beans” was the last song I liked from them. But finding out the release date has been pushed back a year right before the original release date is not cool. Looks like a glitch in the upcoming new releases section and I’m frankly tired of seeing this as one of the top upcoming releases. With so much music at our fingertips these days, bands can get phased out by even the most loyal fans. Weezer, do the right thing and just release the album.

Why would I be let down you might say? Because it’s Weezer. They haven’t released anything good or relevant for decades. Anything they put out is for the ride or die Weezer fans who think everything Weezer album is pure gold.

Weezer has made some great records. However this one sounds dated, as if it was recorded in the grungy 90s.

Time to change the name of the album and stop trying to cash in on EVH’s death.

Ok, this doesn’t make a lick of sense. Obviously, this album is completed with the original release date scheduled for today, 5/15/2020. However, now it’s been pushed for early May of 2021?!?! Where is the logic in this? I so far have enjoyed the tracks that were released and I was initially excited for this while we’re getting through these “uncertain times”. Listen, I get it that you guys can’t kick off a proper tour to promote this anthem rock hair band concept record but why wait til I assume a time you can tour again? Give your fans a year to digest, enjoy or hate these songs. Whatever that may be. I don’t see the hype of prolonging this any further to go in your favor with perhaps a few new untitled tracks revealing itself within the year. Your album won’t contract the virus but in this current state, it sure feels that way.

Why did I pre-order over a year in advance?

End of the Game sounds good but I would rather be in a cage with a lion on steroids for an hour than listen to hero for one minute.

Despite the title, this has NOTHING to do with the mighty Van Halen. Doesn’t sound like VH, doesn’t feel like VH, definitely doesn’t have the balls of VH, and can’t be VH, because there’s no DLR, EVH, Michael Anthony and AVH. All key ingredients to the legitimate and extremely powerful VH sound. You need that monster sound, lead singer rock swagger persona and in your face attitude, a lead guitarist that is not of this world, huge drum beats, and massive base and background singing from the best. Now, with that said, it sounds good so far and I’m sure will be a great Weezer effort, which is fun and catchy, but not anywhere near the best rock band of all time.

The reason they’re pushing it back could be for financial purposes, maybe. But the way people reacted to the black album may have given Weezer a chance to work on the music they were gonna come out with. I honestly enjoyed the black album and I’m gonna get this one too. No, I’m not happy about the release being next year but I’ll wait. There’s other music out there.

Wow Weezer is a horrendous band they can’t write rock music that has testosterone if they tried. They should give up

The longest album chilling out in the “pre-order” section on iTunes, I’ve ever seen. Not a huge Weezer fan, but do like some of their tunes; I feel bad for the true fans who keep getting tormented and tortured each time this album is delayed. Maybe a 2023 release?

2021 in may what a long wait

Im fairly certain this album breaks all sorts of records for being the longest run at being a "pre-order" album on iTunes. I swear this has been on pre-order for over a year...

this dumb album better be like album of the year quality. Weezer choosing the release date so far in advance

Now it’s for 2021??? ABSURD. No buzz before this one... the far off release date hasn’t helped build any anticipation. It’s over. It’s done. It’s gone. Nerd rock isn’t popular enough for a slow build release...

What about the people Who pre-ordered back in August

Yes, they could’ve released this album now while their fans are stuck inside! And yes, they could’ve likely come up with an entire new album between now (May 30, 2020) and when this album will be released (May 7, 2021). But no! We can see where Weezer’s priorities lie; instead of giving this to their fans in a time of hardships, Weezer chooses that what is more important is for them to attach the release of the album to a tour once coronavirus restrictions have eased. In other words, they clearly care more about the financial success of the album & tour than they care about spreading a little bit of happiness to their fans during this time. SMH!!!

Why has this been up for pre-order nearly a YEAR before it's to be released? Is this an album Weezer is thinking about doing? Are they writing, recorded, and releasing one song at a time until they have an album's worth? If you're seven to 12 months out from releasing an album, you probably haven't even recorded it yet. I have to look at this pre-order graphic - number one on the pre-order list - until next summer? And you're inviting reviews on an album that doesn't yet exist? And the album's namesake just died? Take. This. Down. It's way too soon. It makes Weezer look desperate.

The End of the Game song is very addicting also enjoyed Hero . Hopefully rest of album is this good , I’ll definitely be buying the album !

I cant stand old weezer which is just dirgy guitars and and cringey embarresing songs. listening to the first two great new songs its clear Weeezers direction noadways is more the black album and pacific daydream than the endles bores of pinkerton era. yawn. I want well put together radio friendly songs with acoustic guitar and lots of background vocals. THANK YOU for leaving the distorted dirge guitars away and making things sound sooooo much more interesting and poppy

Since this was announced? Lol. I’ve never seen such a long preorder period. Holy crap. I’m curious about the songs but could care less about this soft pop garbage

Wish I hadn’t preordered this when the first single came out. I wouldn’t buy it now out of principle... waiting another several months for this release is ridiculous and from the outside feels pretty selfish. I do like the first two songs but the wait is ridiculous and I’ll be much less excited when the album comes out now.

Release it... Don’t release it... Whatever...

This is hands down the best 2 song album yet..look there are 2 song albums and then there TWO SONG ALBUMS...before you dive into this album just take a deep breath cuz you are in for some hella scuba...the first half of the album grips you and by the end of the second half / second song..you outta breath and begging for more. This album will leave you weezing hence you are a weezer.::best album ever made

I hope they gave Eddie Van Halen a writing credit on this tune. That’s his riff from Panama leading into the chorus. C'mon

Great music + Bad lyrics = 4 stars, but minus a star because this album was supposed to come out over a year ago

Their last few records have been extremely dissapointing. This single makes me think there might still be hope....but we'll see. On the other hand, it isn't going to be released until 18 MONTHS FROM NOW? What's that about, other than laziness? It shouldn't take that long to record 50 songs, let alone nine.

No one is gonna care by the time this comes out

I really like the 2 songs that are out as of now! They’re authentic and it sounds pretty cool. I’m very confused by the amount of one stars based on the pushed back date; I’m bummed too, but that doesn’t change the quality of the music. Can’t wait to hear more! Hopefully people will give the album a fair chance when it’s released officially.

Ok I am a huge Weezer fan and people are freaking about because of the release date. Calm down please I know it’s annoying but don’t rate it based on the release date that kind of unfair. Ok on to the real review I love both of these songs and this is going to sound like I’m some fanboy but I’m not but I’ve loved almost everything Weezer has ever done I mean people who are “true fans” calm down Weezer has changed and for some reason people hate that I love when bands evolve it really marks their name in history. I also love the crazy amount of guitar tracks on end of the game and hero is an emotional journey pumped up with some 80s esqe sound. I have a great feeling about this album and the future of Weezer in general. It’s not the Weezer I started listening to but it’s still amazing stop hating because it’s not “classic Weezer” I say classic Weezer is the evolution of Weezer and that’s amazing you have to respect Rivers’ writing ability. Stay safe and have a nice day.

What? i need an explanation 7 months ive been waiting.

So I pre-ordered the album with May 15, 2020 date and now it’s gonna be released in 2021??? What a letdown!!! Never again...

I do not want to see this in the feed for a while other year. Release your boring album and get out of here please.

You've got to be kidding! Not releasing this album until May 2021 is nutty. I've always liked Weezer most of the time. Not enough songs on this album available to give a decent review

They may need more time and put in more effort for each song they release...

You have to be SERIOUS IT comes in 2021?!!!!!!!? I CAN NOT BELIVE THIS, THIS COMES IN THE FUTURE WHAT THE HECK I can not believe this that is it-king hatch

End of the Game is great. Hero is terrible. Stupid that they pushed the album out another year

Weezer is still great. After Nirvana had to not exist anymore they filled the gap in America and Oasis England. Rivers Cuomi is still A genius pop rock classic masterpiece songwriter. And if the song Hero doesn’t remind you and all of us of that fact then I would rather ears not exist. Easy to understand why that was one of the two songs available until full album release.

Love these tracks so far! Very fun, spunky, refreshing music - bribing me back to the 90s sound with a new attitude. Sounds great!!!

Always like the Weezer. I don't just love it. I super love it. I'm going to play this song at 11 during the nuclear apocalypse. It'll make doom fun. uPDATE: Now I have to wait a year. Minus 1 star. I don't like your May 7, 2021 face.

I’m just wondering why this has been on pre order for almost a year like really I hate that like put it up a couple months before now I’m just sick of waiting and another 5 months to go oh wait 6

This sounds like they mixed Weezer Van Halen and a touch of Rise Against Love it!!! Can’t wait to hear the rest.

I'm a huge Weezer fan. I've always described its sound as "you know it is when you hear it." What you have so far is awesome. but I just found out we have to wait another year for all the rest of this to come out. BOOOO

It’s a great album.

Does anyone know what the plan here is? Its been TBD for a month and a half.

I totally agree with Spike until the whole album is released I cannot see giving it a solid review.

Why would you pre-order a album so far out just garbage I’m not buying just out of The principal of it who ever had this idea should be fired

I am tired of waiting; they can keep it and shove it up their #%*!!

This is a year out just take it down and put it back up as the time gets closer.
