Yeah, Weezer is trying to be complete pop stars now. Their goal seems to be appealing to a more radio friendly crowd. They have pretty much left their true fans in the dark.
The best example of this has to be their new song “Can’t Stop Partying” that features Lil Wayne.
It can definitely be seen in the vein of “so bad its almost good”. Lil Wayne’s rap is very quick, but it still remains shocking enough. Why is Lil Wayne rapping in a Weezer song??? The song is gonna be stuck in my head for a while, but I don’t know if I want that :-/
I don’t know how to think about this track. Weezer has been moving to a complete pop sound for a while now, and it seems they just went face first into it. It will do amazing on the radio and whatever, but the Weezer fans from the Blue Album and Pinkerton era are floored at Rivers and co. right now.
“(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” was one thing, this is a completely different level….what to think about Raditude…
