My Name Is Rivers, I'm Carrying My Band.



So uh, in contrary to popular belief Weezer is not broken up. In fact, after over a decade of giving classrooms full of nerds hope that one day they could be a rockstar too, Weezer is set to release it's sixth full length studio album. Apparently this one is supposed to be good? It's really hard to tell if this album is going to be better than their past 4 failed efforts to relive the glory days of the Blue and Pink. Now for all of us who have been following the Weezer story we can probably expect the same 4 chord songs and chant alongs, but this time might be a little different.

They bought a synth.

Yup, coming out of left field Rivers decided it would be an amazing idea to add a synth to their formulaic rock sound. So maybe instead of blazing guitar solos Rivers will now punctuate his verse/chorus songs with space age LAZORZ!

PEW PEW.
