thanks 4 watchin bros
Moiyo: You dont like the delivery? U dont like the generic themed lyrics?... U dont like the "weird" instrumental/
Well guess what..... NOBODY CARES!!
Are you a music journalist? No.
Are you employed by a major music publication to review albums? No.
You're just another kid with a UA-cam account.
Nobody cares what you say.
lol no need to get upset man, you don't have to watch. just stating my opinion, you're free to agree/disagree, I like conversing
bruh.
I care 😥
fuck you
Quiet Rupert
The Angel and the one is so overlooked and it makes me so sad. It’s arguably their best album closer next to Only in dreams, IMO.
I personally am a huge fan of Butterfly as a closer. It and the two you mentioned I’d argue are top 3 in no particular order
December is my pick next to Only in Dreams, and then Haunt You Every Day. But almost all their closers are amazing.
Automatic is a banger tbh
I don’t get why people hate this song and Cold Dark World. Yea Cold Dark World is cheesy and an Incel Anthem but i like how cheesy it is
@@chickensoup1807 I’m not even the biggest fan of Cold Dark World but I appreciate its inclusion on the album. A good bit of Weezer’s lyrics are cheesy so it works.
Automatic is one of their best songs and I stand by that
Everybody get Dangerous is so goofy that I never had a problem with it
Like young Rivers and his friends were just doing a bit of trolling in the local neighborhood
The deluxe songs on this album are criminally underrated as well.
Dude KING is so good!!!
i love pig so much
The three best songs on the album
ITS EASY
pig is *the* best song on red album (including the main tracks)
heart songs is my favorite off the album
nice
Same
Not gonna lie I love Red, and its one of my favorite Weezer albums. Pork and Beans and Angel and the One are Weezer masterpieces
agreed
(long-ass comment incoming)
Gotta admit, I really wish they replaced Cold Dark World with King. Dumb lyrics or not, King I think is a much better track and Scott's vocals are a lot better suited with the way the song goes. I agree completely with you The Angel and The One as well, I thought I would be disappointed after the garbage that came beforehand but it's honestly a really beautiful track. If the rest of the album is about Rivers creating some otherworldly godlike persona, I feel like AatO is him coming to the conclusion that that's not what he is, and he's just him and he has to accept it. Weird how Spotify doesn't have a Deluxe version of the Red Album and they just add the bonus tracks to the end. Angel and the One is probably my favorite album closer by them, even if the bonus tracks are good.
COLD DARK WORLD IS SO GOOD WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
The Spider is also an incredible song off the deluxe
@@gerardcuomohopplongebouvie1311 I love Cold Dark World. Although the lyrics are dumb, I think that the chorus and Scott’s vocals are great.
Based. Continue the great work, dude.
I discovered Weezer through this album. After hearing Pork and Beans on the radio, I bought the album on CD. While it may not be their best album, I liked it enough to look into more of their discography. The Greatest Man That Ever Lived definitely has some influence from Green Day, mainly the multi-part song concept. Rivers pulls it off flawlessly. Probably my favorite on the album.
Influence from Green Day?? I doubt it.
Im 43 and I bought Dookie and the Blue album pretty much in the same week.
Both were contemporaries.
Contemporaries dont take from one another.
If Weezer are taking from anyone it's more likely to be the Beach Boys or The Jam (Google them!)
Influences are established during a writer's teenage years and Billy Joe isn't fit to lace Rivers' boots.
Trust me....... Green Day NEVER influenced Weezer.
that song is inspired by Queen
@@Dave..1978-i9t weezer has said it themselves that green day is one of their influences
@@Dave..1978-i9t rivers himself has said that during the years between pinkerton and green album he studied green days music to find new ideas to apply to his own music. green day have been a massive influence on weezer. also contemporaries can very much influence each other, thats how trends work.
Queen* not Green Day, lol.
I’m glad someone is finally appreciating the Red Album! It’s always been one of my favorites, and at times I feel it’s overly hated and it’s definitely overlooked. Great vid!
I just spent the last week re-discovering Weezer, listening to every album they've released up to Ok Human, and the Red Album sits in my Top 3 -- quite possibly No.1
This is their Sgt. Pepper, in my opinion. The variation between tracks is wonderful, from the marathon of styles covered on The Greatest Man That Ever Lived, to flat out yahoo rockers (Everybody Get Dangerous is fuckin' KICK-ASS!), to the beauty of Heart Songs, to the epic grandeur of The Angel and the One. I also LOVE that every member of the band took a lead vocal on the album and really wish they had continued that going forward.
I don't know how anyone, especially fans of Weezer, could dislike their Red Album. It's wonderfully solid in every measure in my estimation.
Intro 0:00
Part 1 0:12
Part 2 0:54
1:57 Troublemaker
2:46 The Greatest Man That Ever Lived
3:44 Pork And Beans
4:38 Heart Songs
5:22 EVERYBODY GET DANGEROUS
6:50 Dreamin’
8:20 Thought I Knew
9:29 Cold Dark World
11:03 Automatic
11:59 The Angel and the One
People always said the red sucked so I tried it out and was pleased by the experimentation and the how rockin’ it is, and honestly automatic is the only song I really disliked
I love this album so much, honestly more than Blue (not Pinkerton though).
Troublemaker, Greatest Man, and Pork & Beans are just full of so much swagger and have a ton of charisma. All three are strong highlights and make up one of the best opening sequence songs in their catalogue.
Heart Songs is absolutely beautiful. I barely know half of the references to cringe at the lyrics, so I see it more of a cute song talking about Weezer’s success and influences.
I forgot Everybody get Dangerous existed. I deleted this song because it’s so ugly. This song can sit with In The Mall, Let it all hang out, and Time Flies in their pantheon of worst songs ever. Shame, as without this song, album could’ve been a ten.
Dreamin’ is one of my favorites. Absolutely orgasmic and I like the lyrics. The melody is amazing.
Thought I knew is okay to me. Song is pretty generic. I like his vocals but the lyrics and progression is bland.
Cold Dark World is just hilarious, I like it. The instrumentation is nice, but not one of the best.
Automatic is pretty nice. I like Pat’s singing and the progression. The groove is nice.
Now...the Angel and the one...THE ANGEL AND THE FUCKING ONE. Best song off the record and puts Only in Dreams to shame. I love it a lot. Top 3 weezer track.
The bonus tracks though...Miss Sweeney is really sweet, Pig is kinda boring, The Spider is pretty somber and beautiful, and King is one of their best songs as well.
Of course, that’s just my two cents.
Dang, never knew people considered Time Flies as one of their worst songs
Great Video! I'm a huge fan of Weezer and I see the Red album as one of their best works, so I thought this was a great piece.
My only criticism is that you didn't go into the earlier tracks more, like talking about Troublemaker delving into some of the origins for Weezer (Rivers becoming a metalhead in his teen years by picking up that guitar) and more info on the events from his youth that were described in Everybody Get Dangerous.
I would like to see you talk about the bonus tracks; Miss Sweeny and King are some of the greatest Weezer tracks. I want to see more content from you!
hiya, thank you for your feedback! it is appreciated, and i do agree that i coudlve gone into more detail with certain tracks and at least given a small section about the deluxe tracks, but im glad you enjoyed it. i've got a new video in the works so stay tuned!
you could have even combined Weezer's red album music with Lucina's smash gameplay as some sort of compromise, but no. You didn't. You went and completely forgot about YOUR old hidden gem, the smash gameplay musical montages. Smash is Silly? Instant classic. You frustrate me as a viewer and long time fan, and I can't believe the descent of your content's quality on your channel. Truly disappointing. You may continue with your tasteless music review videos, but the reality is that you will never get back to your old quality. Very disappointed.
Heyyeahhhh
It’s automatic when you know it
Heyyeyeae
It’s automatic when you feel it
Thought I Knew was originally made as a song for Brian's band The Relationship, the song was given a more poppy tone when it was put on the Red Album.
Thought I Knew would later make it to a Relationship album with a more sombre tone that sounds much more inviting.
A lot of the other songs sung by other band members were originally demo'd with Rivers vocals, in fact a full version of Cold Dark World with Rivers's vocals was released alongside the Raditude iTunes pass, this version really improves the song for some people.
Personally, I really like the end half of Red, I love hearing the other band members have their time in the spotlight, and the sound of the later tracks is just really nice.
Wish you covered the Deluxe tracks, such as The Spider, Pig and King. They really made the album for me personally.
I feel like the red album gets a bad rep, because the deluxe version is SO MUCH BETTER than the regular version. Miss sweeny, pig, king...if you released a version of the deluxe version without any of the country songs it'd be one of the best weezer albums
The Angel And The One is just spectacular. Thanks for making this video!
the bonus tracks are also super good
I think it's a very Weezer offering- a mixed bag. Some is incredible, some is not, but I think the highlights are worth sticking around for.
agreed!
you can stop dreaming now they finally released a great album
I love this album! Greatest Man is beyond amazing. As for Get Dangerous, pure brilliance … the “ninja swords” breakdown is one of my favorite weezer moments ever!
Some story :
Red and Maladroit were my introduction to Weezer when I was a kid, especially Pork and Beans was one of my memories of the internet in 2000s.
I just rediscover them lately and I recognized some songs that are not singles in each album like King, The Angel and The One, and The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Red) also Take Control, American Gigolo, and December (Maladroit).
I was surprised no one talked about the greatness of the experiments that happened on Red compared to Maladroit's.
I was also surprised that King is a Side-B that I've listened all this time lol
You have great editing, smart writing, and excellent taste in Music. You deserve so much more attention!
I remember not caring at all for this album when I first hated it. It was during my “nothing beats blue and Pinkerton and everything else sucks”. But I came back to this album and i INSTANTLY fell in love with all of it no matter how stupid it was. I actually really enjoy how different each song sounds different yet work so well with each other. Love this album
The Angel And The One really suffers from being difficult get to through the previous 3 songs.
"mikey wels"
this haunts me to this day
Honestly I really like Thought I Knew.
I like how weezer went from some youthful guys to just some middlaged dads trying to relive their youth
fr they’ve been touring basically every summer (yanno except covid) since i’ve been in middle school
so
about
8 years lol
In just 10 years...
worth the wait, great video. finally telling the blue/pinkerton only normies that red is good
AND THANK YOU FOR FINALLY SAYING TROUBLEMAKER IS GOOD, PEOPLE TAKE IT WAY TOO SERIOUSLY
Who ever told you that liking Blue or Pinkerton made you a normie?
@@weaz3r379 thinking blue and/or pinkerton are their only two good albums makes you a normie, not liking them in general
@@ArousedTaquito What if I think other albums are also as good?
you deserve more subs. very high-quality! i love this album too
My father bought me the red album when i was young, its was the first one i heard from weezer so for me: troublemaker, pork and bean, heart song and King are so freaking good
definitely some good tracks!
There aren’t very many good weezer analysis videos on UA-cam. Please make more. Come back please
i need more moiyo uploads 🥺
Soon, my friend
You should discuss the deluxe tracks for Red, they're just as good, if not better than the album! (and i say this as an red album enjoyer)
I love this album
It’s always been my favourite weezer album
Maybe even one of my all time favourites
Each song carries its own memory for me
I got into the album through troublemaker making it rather nostalgic
Then I constantly looped pork and beans
And it was the first song I learned on the bass (my first instrument)
So on, so on
And a few months ago I listened to all of the deluxe tracks
And I’ve gotta say
They only make me like this album ever more
The spider
Is the lyrically best if not best weezer song to date IMO
So I thank you for making this video
I thank you for this appreciation on the album
It’s not perfect and I know this but maybe not everything needs to be a work of art like spider
Maybe all am album needs to be
Is something that sounds good and something YOU yourself like
And THANK YOU for talking about Dreamin’ I love this song
I think it’s secretly underrated
And all I can say to end off this message
I hope weezer do a red album 20th anniversary tour in 4 years…
Thank you Moiyo❤
Thank You for making this video. Red belongs right next to Blue and Pink. 'Underrated' doesn't begin to cover it. Also, I thought I was crazy for feeling 'Angel and The One' might be my favourite W song. It's fairly simple base line/riff is So Goddamn Powerful. It makes me happy to know Im not the only (Angel and the) one. 😉
Cheers to the RED, Weezers!
The Angel and the One is the reason I found this video. I've been listening to this album all month and its got no doubt the most depth and emotion ever. Have never actually watched an album review video so i searched this album and this came up. Great video. I think the bridge in Everybody get Dangerous deserves a little more love tho!
I really like your video. Hopefully you keep on making videos like these!
And maybe i´ll give the album a try and listen to it later :)
Great video duder! You did a really good job but I do want to note that I kinda do disagree on that "best album closers they ever made" because (oh boy look another person going about Pinkerton woo) Butterfly does also a pretty good job on ending Pinkerton, but then again the two albums are really different. Nevertheless great video and you should deserve more love and subs. Have a nice day who ever read this
Thanks man! And yeah I agree, Butterfly is among Weezer's best closers as well. I think they both do a great job in the context of the album, as Butterfly ends Pinkerton on a more somber note like the original play, and TAATO is just a heartfelt statement from Rivers. I appreciate the feedback.
I’ll admit, I do enjoy the Red album and this has come around to be one of my favourite albums of theirs.
Here’s my opinions on each song:
Troublemaker 😐
Greatest Man That Ever Lived ✅
Pork & Beans ✅
Heart Songs ✅
Everybody Get Dangerous ❌
Dreamin’ ✅
Thought I Knew 😐
(Although the 2008 MTV live version is ✅)
Cold Dark World 😐
Automatic 😐
The Angel And The One ✅
Deluxe tracks:
Miss Sweeney ✅
Pig ✅
The Spider ✅
King ✅
Great vid! Would like to know your thoughts on the deluxe and bonus tracks as well (It's Easy, I can Love, Miss Sweeney, Pig, The Spider, King, The Weight, Life is What You Make It, Meri Kuri) These are hit or miss for me as the album was, but the great ones help pull the low points up to a solid album.
Thanks! personally, miss sweeney is my favorite out of the deluxe tracks (it gives me a big Susanne vibe), but I pretty much like all of them
@@Moiyo yes!! I've Always got the Suzanne vibe from Sweeny too!
Hey, I love Thought I Knew :(
that’s understandable, no hate here :)
Why are people so mean in this comment section? This video rocks btw nice work
thanks man. honestly that's just the youtube comment section for ya
Red is top tier weezer.
Although The Relationship's version of Thought i Knew is better.
Omfg thanks for telling me about The Angel and The One. Omfg is what I kept saying while listening to that song last night.
DUUUDE WHAT THE FUCK 'THOUGHT I KNEW' IS AWESOME (80% of why i like it is because brian is awesome)
also what the flip chat i kinda like cold dark world
Understandable. No hate here ❤
Good video!
I think thought I knew was amazing
that's fair. I can see the appeal tbh, it's just pretty generic to me. But this album has something for everyone which is dope
Is it bad that cold dark world is my favorite song in the album
greatest man that ever lived? more like the greatest song that ever slapped!
Heart songs is my least favourite weezer song of all time, but red is in my top 5 album, I literally love it so so much it’s literally almost perfect and the B sides, literally amazing perfect I love this album so so much
Also greatest man that ever lived is in my top 3 weezer songs ever
Fuck you thought I knew I’d literally amazing. I would do anything for Brian Bell
i love cold dark world and automatic. idc what anyone says.
YES. I LVE this album a lot more than many other Weezer albums. somehow I can just relate to it. especially heart songs is a devotional to musicians by musicians. This is a song musicians will understand. Its an homage to all our heroes. Beautiful. This album is simply a masterpiece. Haters are being so precious.
We don't talk about the red album
Hol' up.
Thought I Knew is one of the bets songs on the album.
Errrmmm....... "hidden" gem?? It certainly is a gem but what makes you think it's hidden?
PMSL!!! It was released by their record company and was hyped in the media and became one of the year's best selling rock albums.
How is it "hidden" ??
SMFH
I would put the normal version into A-tier already, but the deluxe edition puts it straight into S tier, no doubt in my mind.
Everybody Get Dangerous and Cold Dark World is insufferable. I like Red, but damn.
Man, either you are too judgemental on some of these songs or I am so bad at comprehending music that I think even Cold Dark World is enjoyable.
Honestly I thought I was being generous with a lot of the songs lol, but it's not about music comprehension, even if I didnt enjoy it my opinion isn't on a higher plane than yours or anyone else's. It's mainly just the lyrics in that song
Everybody Get Dangerous Top 30 Weezer don’t @ me
Just put the special edition songs in place of the side b songs (keep Dreamin' and Angel) and it's a classic.
How is it a hidden gem? Pork and Beans was all over the radio when it came out and they toured extensively for it with Angels and Airwaves and Tokyo Hotel. IATGMTEL was also all over, they brought out the trampolines and jumpsuits and stuff for the shows. Troublemaker was also all over the place. It was definitely not a hidden gem of an album
Great question! Red Album was definitely a commercial success. The point I tried to convey was that, in terms of Weezer's discography, the album tends to be underappreciated/frowned upon in the fandom when I feel there are a lot of quality tracks that outweigh any filler. At least, that is what I've gathered when discussing with other fans, browsing music forums, etc. I think Red Album deserves a higher ranking than what it is generally given, hence, "Hidden Gem."
Yes
This video is so good, why this channel appeared just now to me :/
thank you so much! For whatever reason, it's been appearing in people's recommended feeds lol
@@Moiyo Good news then✌
still no finished musical montage of Lucina eh? I'm gonna have to unsub, buddy.
TALK ABOUT THE RED ALBUM DEMOS. I CAN LOVE IS THEIR BEST DEMO AND ITS OFF THE INTERNATIONAL RELEASE OF RED. TALK ABOUT IT PLEASE.
Um why did you skip two great songs on this album, Miss Sweeney and The Spider. I’d say Miss Sweeney is another back to formula track on the Red album as well so underrated
Definitely some good tracks - I just didn't discuss the deluxe edition.
@@Moiyo Oh my bad had no clue they were Deluxe Songs
@@Moiyo Also I fully agree with the statement you made about this being Weezer at their best I fully agree. I can say with full confidence that Red Album is their best and my favorite album. The hate on it is undeserved and has some really good ones on it
Honestly I don’t hate Cold Dark World. Yeah I know the verses are bad, but I think that they are bad in a so bad it’s enjoyable kinda way for me. And the chorus is unironically good.
now do black album
I’d love to hear what you think about the bonus tracks
WHERE'S KING
RIGHT I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT IT
Byzantine kinda sucks but i keep listening to it same with Cold Dark World
🐙
Nice
The red album is weezer for people that have sex
weezer
Red is one of their worst Albums and no better than a 4/10.
You're really saying that with Black, Pacific Daydream, Hurley, Raditude and Make Believe out there, huh?
@@lzp12345 Yup. Make believe is forgettable but still slightly better than red, with some really solid tracks. Pacific daydream is straight up underrated and the only reason people hate on it is because they either a) didn't get what they hoped for back when it dropped, dismissing it as garbage just for having a dense pop sound, or b) because they are bandwagoning. The only albums I consider worse than red that I can think of on the spot are teal, green and black. The rest is on par or better. Also I've never gotten around to listening to Hurley, so no comment on that one.
edit: forgot to mention that raditude is also probably worse than red, but i havent listened to it in so long that I'm not 100% sure, since I've mostly forgotten what it sounds like
Recommended 4 years post-release lmao
love to see it
Red Album Rivers... the scary one
look at that stache
amazing video :D
legendary
I love the red hot red album released by The Weezers on June 3rd 1990 I mean uhhh 2000 something or other June 3rd
