Weezer - OK Human ALBUM REVIEW 

weezer got a good score in 2021 bois, this truly is the best reality, can't wait until van weezer gets a 2 so we can go back to normal

Can't believe you gave Radioheads cover of the blue album an 8/10

I can’t wait for Weezer’s next album Adult A

No album named OK Human deserves to be as good as this is

Weezer is the Sonic the Hedgehog of music releases.

“Rivers not washing his hair for three weeks, that’s disgusting” like you’d know, Anthony

Rivers: “I'm a one, I'm a zero. In the end, does it matter?” Anthony: You’re an 8.

“Alright bitches, it is Wheezer and Wheezy”-lil Wayne

Weezer has got to be the most inconsistent and consistent band of all time.

never would’ve imagined that a post-2000s weezer album would make anthony cry

weezer is literally the radiohead of music

Can't wait for their 2022 colab with Kanye "Yeezer"

Was really hoping for a 9, I’ll settle for 8 tho

Radiohead really outdid themselves with this one.

MELON LOOK OUT HE’S RIGHT BEHIND YOU

When are you dropping OK Melon? We’ve been waiting for 3 years Anthony, we’re begging you

This is the Pinkerton follow-up I've been waiting for since '96. A record written by guys in their 50's and owning it, instead of the bullshit "How do you do, fellow kids" posturing they've been pulling for the past two decades. It's wonderful...which means it'll all go right out the window for Van Weezer.

BREAKING: Weezer to take “Numbers” off of Ok Human after getting a decent 8 from Fantano, stating that “numbers actually aren’t that bad”

Hey Anthony! Great review. But Weezer hasn’t released an album since Weezer (White Album) [Deluxe Edition] in 2016. Have you been forgetting to take your medication?

Anthony, running up to a kid having an asthma attack and stealing his inhaler is not what we meant by a Weezer review.

bald guy gets mad at other guy for not washing his hair: the album

You’re only mad about the not washing hair line because rivers HAS hair to wash.

Ngl I teared up during this album more than once. "I miss my family" and "heaven shut the door on this man" are pretty powerful ways to end songs. Dead Roses is straight up one of the best songs they've ever made. This album rules.

Also thought this album was an 8. Aloo Gobi and Numbers are peak Weezer, in my opinion. Hard call between White and OKH for now but it’s definitely either my third or fourth favorite album of theirs.

IVE BEEN SAYING I LOVE THIS ALBUM FOR 3 DAYS AND MY BROTHER CLOWNED ON ME. NOW I HAVE A YELLOW FLANNEL TO PROVE ME RIGHT.

Fantano the only guy who cries to an album and proceeds to give it a "decent 8"

Weezer naming the album “OK Melon” isn’t a valid reason for a ten, Anthony.

Did not expect a Logic Weezer collab this year

Jokes aside, it was really heartwarming to see Anthony jamming to Weezer on the stream, as well as an 8/10 - not something I could predict before the release

Bout time. I wanna know if I hated listening to this thing 15 times or loved it

Fantano, you’re just being positive because you liked the album; that’s unfair :(

this guy is ripping off Billy Cobb just like Radiohead were ripping off Weezer

“Screens” really seems more to me like a warning against people replacing their real-life interactions exclusively with internet interactions, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic. It, to me, was more saying “guys, when this is over, make sure you’re gonna get back out into the real-world.” Which, granted, could be a bit boomer-ish.

could've sworn you already reviewed this album? your skin was rotting and you gave it a light 9? i don't know dude, deja vu i guess...

BIRD WITH A BROKEN WING SLAPS MELON YOU ARE POURING WATER. Outside of the joke, it really is one of the most beautiful moments on the album and weezer's career as a whole. It tells a really heartfelt story about passing your prime, not being able to do what you used to and having death at your door, but not dwelling on that fact. As Rivers says "Don't be sad for me, I'm right where I want to be". The bridge is especially emotional, as Rivers sings about still having something to give as long as we believe in him which, considering Weezer's misfires, feels like a genuine attempt at rivers coming to terms with the band's perception. La Brea Tar Pits reiterates on these concepts by saying "he still has something to give" and how "he doesn't want to die", bringing in a new conceptual layer to an already cohesive album. Dead Roses also features some lyrical highlights and even some unexpected gothic undertones that sound like nothing the band has ever done before, which really annoys me how you glazed over it.

"If it's baroque don't fix it"

That was the most unexpected expected 8 ever

IT'S A 9/10 AND YOU JUST DON'T WANNA ADMIT THAT WEEZER MADE AN ALBUM THAT GOOOOD

When’s OK Boomer dropping

Weezer is like the Adam Sandler of music

Weezer have had more 'returns-to-form' than most bands have had good albums.

This may actually be a top 3 Weezer album imo

paused my grapes of wraith audiobook for this...

Getting a score over 7 from Anthony is one of the highest honors one could receive

Weezer getting an 8/10 in the 21st century is something I would've never expected but I'm so happy

I cant believe "im gonna rock my audible" lyric made anthony cry

This whole album is amazing with how the tracks lead into the space the last one left open. I figured I'd listen to a few tracks and listen to it later, but from beginning to end, even though I didn't LOVE every song, I felt compelled to listen to each one. It really guides you through. Very impressive for a band that's never done an album quite like this before.

Asking Anthony to show his vinyl collection again until he does: day 9 This should have been a 10 Anthony.

Just realised OK Human was probably an homage to OK Computer

Screens isn't a "these damn kids on their screens" song, it's more about how our new interconnected age has only served to make us feel lonelier, which is pretty true in my experience. The second verse makes it more clear. It's coming from a place of sadness and frustration as someone in that milieu, not smug superiority.

Big a weezer fan is such a roller coaster, when its bad, ITS BAD... but when its good, ITS GOOD.

I think what’s funny about this album is that my friend, who is a big Weezer fan, hates the fuck out of this album. Whereas I, who had never heard a Weezer album before this one, absolutely love it.

Have never listened to weezer and never seen that movie where the guy falls in love with Siri, but i imagine they are the same person.

Someone please clip the "when rivers busts" part for me. It'd be a pretty good meme imo.

time to cross "weezer gets a yellow flannel" off of the 2021 bingo card

make believe: sonic 06 raditude: sonic boom ok human: sonic mania

Weezer and a yellow flannel....are we 1996?

His line about not washing his hair for three weeks was the most relatable thing I've ever heard, don't take it down.

I love this álbum!! I can’t believe that legendary american 80’s band “Radiohead” made their own cover of this full álbum and named it Ok Siri

Im so happy this album was good. Really loved the orchestra and pretty much everything about it

ah yess weezer’s best album Catchy 2 The Core

Seeing the yellow flannel on a weezer review feels like a fever dream

Anthony: roasting rivers for not washing his hair Also anthony: has no hair

Geez melon, I don't think going on a rant for 10 minutes about why you think the bell curve is the smartest book ever written has anything to do with with this album, but great review. Thank you.

it’s a ten i don’t need to watch this it’s a ten everyone go home

I don't care about the lyrics in All My Favorite Songs and Screens... I just like how they sound

I'm a big Weezer fan. But it was weird when you took the last 4 minutes of the video to tell us that you're not a financial adviser but that we should buy $GME & $AMC.

Haven't been this surprised with one of his reviews since Trench

Melon’s only mad at rivers’ hair washing lyric because he’s jealous

I don’t even have a funny comment I’m just happy weezer got a good review

I'm actually loving this album. I wasn't even a big weezer fan when they were "good" but this feels so wholesome, familiar yet new. Mirror image is def a high point of the album. Just wow!

Everyone seems to have liked this album a hell of a lot more than I did

Good f**king lord, finally! I heard the album. I read the reviews. I read the interviews. I saw the Billy Cobb review. I saw the stream highlights, both official and unofficial. It has felt like forever just to hear my favorite Mellon talk about this bloody album. And what I feel? I.......................................................agree. The whole album feels pretty good. I've never been a weezer fan (a freezer?), but when I heard "Baroque pop" and "Inspired by Harry Nelson" in close proximity, I knew I was coming to the table. I agree with everything here. The only thing I would add is how this shows that Weezer is past Pinkerton emotionally. A album that raw and personal in emotions can not come from a guy in such domestic bliss. He can, however, still put those emotions in his songwriting in other characters or interesting situations. Very nice review, Mellon boi.

I usually only like Weezer that sounds like old school 90s Weezer, which is why I loved White and Everything Will Be Alright so much. But this is the first time that Weezer have completely changed their sound and I actually love it. They're usually "Back to Basics" or "Party Pop with horrible lyrics" so I never thought they would make an album like this. I'm glad they did they did though!

Wasn't huge on this first listen, but I think that's cause I had in my head that the next album we were getting was Van Weezer and was ready for the rockness of it. After listening to it a couple more times, yeah, it's pretty damn good. At moments it sounds like a continuation of Rivers' solo Alone albums, but is tuned to apply more to the current alternative crowd more than their previous attempts.

So if the Weezer-Eminem chart was to be believed, the next Em album will slap HARD

This is by far my favorite Weezer album to date, love how symphonic it is :)

Anthony you can’t give this album an 8 just because you are a member of the band “Weezer”.

Hi there, just discovered your channel, good stuff. I love this record, been streaming it for a couple of weeks and finally purchased it yesterday...however I wont get the benefit of listening to it on wax for a while as it hasn't seemed to have arrived at all in Mexico where I live and it seems to have sold out in the US....so got it from the UK instead and sent to an address there. And in my early 50s its my first Weezer album believe it or not. Playing my Piano I just imagine Brian Wilson making Pet Sounds.....maybe thats the idea. Im intrigued now by their back catalogue...where should I go next? White album? Green? Cheers!

dead roses is my favorite track. It's beautiful in composition and the strings compliment the vocals and lyrics very well. A good heartbreak song.

This album is so so good. I keep coming back to it.

Weezer need to keep Jake Sinclair in their good books, he is honestly the best producer for them at this time.

I had the exact same sentiment for ‘Mirror Image’. It sounded eerily like a wedding song and had an amazing transition from ‘Playing my piano’

Art Blakey Moanin’ in the background - nice

Rare album that fantano enjoys more than most people

I don't get how one can dislike 'Screens' on a musical level though

Spectrum Pulse and Fantano on different wavelengths once again.

excited for that nostalgia critic's stinkerton review fantony

Weezer will have two 8+/10 albums this year

Yesh

Up here in MA and we got big snow today too

What's the black and white album with the old man on the cover? Top shelf behind Anthony.

I think people really misinterpret Screens. Rivers is very obviously not inherently anti these technologies, he’s just disappointed that people are becoming increasingly disinterested in socialising over sitting in isolation staring at screens. He’s disappointed his daughter would rather sit alone in a room for eight hours straight on a screen instead of making an effort to spend some time with her family. It's not really a criticism of technology, but rather of the people who are addicted to it.

Thought you would say "Gamethony Stoptano here."

Did anyone else hear the D7add13 chord on the last song, aka The Sweater Song chord? It was cute. I loved this album, and it actually made me cry. It is what I needed to hear from Weezer

It seemed really short on my first listen, which was nice that the tracks didn't overstay their welcome. Really enjoyed the closer.

Comment of appreciation for Mattias Adolfsson who did the cover art, his illustrations are so cool!

Props to Weezer for mastering the business and still recording after all these years. I don’t like Weezer music any more, but I’m shocked that they’re still around.

Also, I loved Bird with a Broken Wing. Felt like a cool metaphor for the end of the "golden days"

Even though the lyrics to Screens can be a bit too "boomeresque," the instrumentation and that chorus really save the song for me
