New Weezer or Something to Smile About

Just wanted to shoot this out quick. Did Rivers just become Brian Wilson? I can’t believe how many tempo changes there are in this song, but on first listen I think it’s the best Weezer song post-Pinkerton. This song makes me smile thinking about “the good life.” It also sounds like a classic rock epic…and it’s been awhile since I’ve heard once of those. Makes me really wish they’d finish “Songs from the Black Hole.”
Even the second song here has, I think, the first bridge since the Blue Album. More smiles.
