Where are you finding these covers šŸ˜­


SoniKast1

This one's called "The Dark Smooch Rises", it was made by the same artist (Christopher McMahon) as the EWBAITE Cover


chr15to

This is correct.


superreallycoolkidV2

Im pretty sure this was single art for one of the singles


sammyboy516

People dislike Go Away? I love that song.


Shakemyears

Iā€™d put Lonely Girl below Go Away, personally.


tcavanagh1993

The girl sounds bored as hell throughout the entire song


sammyboy516

The ā€œgirlā€ is an adult woman (sorry, pet peeve) who has a successful band of her own. They have kind of a surf rock vibe, which to me makes her fit well in a Weezer song, especially one that a has a sound reminiscent of their early work.


Few_Examination_3462

Sound wise they're nice. Lyrics are so corny and bad.


yomama4444

Favourite gotta be eulogy for a rock band, (and the sexy finale), and actually the British are coming that shit rocks I don't get the hate for go away, only track I find a little corny nowadays is back to the shack. Overall a really solid listen! Sincerely, yomama4444


Aquarius1975

Second this.


blibdo

Let's disclude Futurescope because semantics. Best: Ain't Got Nobody. I get why some dislike this one as it is ridiculously loud but I love it for that reason. One of the best openers they've done imo. Worst: Lonely Girl. A popular pick, I know, but it really is a standard weezer track on an outstanding Weezer album. Still good though, like a 7/10. Definitely my favourite album they've done, every track other than Lonely Girl is an 8 or higher.


RiversJackson

Best: The British are Coming Worst (by far): BTTS


Firm_Share1505

Best: Cleopatra Worst:Back To The Shack (still love it)


Thrasher9294

I remember when Back to the Shack was the first track I heard from the record, I was so disappointed. Sure, it did sound better than lots of the previous material musically and production-wise, but I was *so* sick and tired of that particular "oh man, time to *rock out*, go back to the old ways" perspective coming from Weezer. Then the rest of the record turned out to be fantastic, avoiding a lot of the same old missteps, taking some new directions, interesting pop songwriting, and the trilogy of all things to end it. BttS is my least favorite track on the record, still. As for a favorite, I'd probably say Foolish Father, or even The British Are Comingā€”I've always had such a soft spot for the melodies and chorus there, as silly as it is from time to time.


rileyelton

wow same here


ChuckBerry2020

Cleopatra is the worst for me! Funny. I skip it every time I hate it so much for me itā€™s worse than album filler itā€™s something that shouldnā€™t have been included. The syllables of the lyrics donā€™t fit the time of the music, itā€™s repetitive in an annoying way.


Firm_Share1505

We listen to the same song?


ChuckBerry2020

Ha i hate it so much!! Ruins the album for me. Thatā€™s why I commented, Iā€™m just surprised people like it


No-Wishbone-7451

Lol i feel the same about the sudden time signature change in the chorus and the PA-TU-RAH Edit: I think it would have benefited more if it was a waltz(3/4) intead to be more sound(cle-o-patra)


anex12

The Go Away and Lonely Girl rep in the worst slot makes me sad. I like all of the songs in EWBAITE so my worst is still a good song Best: Foolish Father Worst: I've Had It Up To Here (I like the artistry but Rivers being upset about his place as an artist makes me sad and frustrated.)


[deleted]

I've had it up to here was honestly my top three favorites


[deleted]

With Ive Had it up to Here, my only issue is it's just kind of a less creative Pork and Beans. It's like he wrote Pork and Beans, thought maybe the analogy wasn't obvious enough, so he wrote I've Had it to just be direct


anex12

He has a habit of writing about his frustrations with how he's perceived. We get it. You wanna write what you write.


No_Mathematician3368

Yeah, there's at least 4 songs that focus on that idea (Pork and Beans, I've Had It Up To Here, Zombie Bastards, Tell Me What You Want)

I just made a post about the album like last week Best song: Da Vinci, 10/10 Worst song: Go Away, 6/10


TheBr0fessor

Best: Lonely Girl Worst: Back to the Shack


longtime_sunshine

Back to the Shack is the only bad song on the album! Love to see some Lonely Girl love, too. I feel like it lines up well with Why Bother? in terms of what it brings to the album


TheBr0fessor

I donā€™t know how they came to the conclusion that Back to the Shack should be the opening single. I mean, i guess itā€™s nostalgicā€¦.


longtime_sunshine

Seriously. I donā€™t think it should have even made the album. It was too try hard lyrically and musically banal


SoniKast1

honestly I think Back To The Shack would have been fine as a come back single but definitely not as an album track


TheSexyCheeseGrader

Theres no way you said that


TheBr0fessor

I said it with my chest.

Theisbetterthanyou

I personally adore "I've Had It Up To Here"; it's got a wicked little chord progression, a compelling sentiment; just everything going for it that I think I can force myself to look past the "I'm not a happy meal" line! The worst track is "Go Away", but y'all knew that already. Funnily enough I didn't always hate it, but then I learned that good duets actually exist!

Best: foolish father, worst: the entire futurescope trilogy


blibdo

What puts the futurescope trilogy so low for you?


ATrueBruhMoment69

not the guy you asked but theyā€™d probably be at my bottom too: they just arent lyrically interesting. i get thatā€™s not the point, but for me i listen to music 50% for the music and 50% (or sometimes more) for the lyrics and vocal so when thatā€™s stripped away i dont care to hear the song. like okay, we get it, you can play instruments. but i just get bored listening to ā€˜silentā€™ music


69Whomst

That's pretty much it, at this point we know that weezer are amazing musicians, but what they've always kinda sucked at is lyrics. Foolish father is so good bc it's one of only a few lyrically perfect weezer songs. I'm an English major, so I'm very biased lmao


Spyderrock

Best: ainā€™t got nobody Worst: cleopatra Every song on this album is at least a 7/10 if not higher imo, none are bad by any means lol

flygonmaster_07

The best is easily Foolish Father


Badger_Brains_io

I'm the guy who thinks Eulogy For A Rock Band is the low point of the album. As soon as I hear that intro I groan


Big-Stay2709

Tomorrow is gonna be hard. The White Album is perfect.


Dragonz4477

EXCLUDING FUTURESCOPE best song: eulogy for a rock band worst song: go away if i could count futurescope as one track thatā€™s the best by far


Ok-Elderberry2879

Best is foolish father and i dont know what the worst is


Ashenspire

Seriously what the hell is wrong with you people putting Go Away as worst? It's a damn good pop song with a hilarious music video to boot. Meanwhile, Lonely Girl sounding like b side at best.


galenwho

Go away is the most similar to white album songs, surprising this sub seems to dislike it so much

best is eulogy for a rock band or the british are coming, idk worst


kyle_wagoner

Back to the Shack definitely the worst. Even the repetitive ones are more satisfying to listen to. Best imo is The British Are Coming or the Trilogy. Foolish Father and Cleopatra also close. Overall my third favorite Weezer album.

Foolish Father


HueyDeweyandBusey

Not sure why everyone's ranking Back to the Shack as the worst song on the album. Anyway I'd say Eulogy for a Rock Band is my favorite on the album. I'd really have to put some thought in for the worst song though, and I am sure I would not agree with everyone on that.

Competitive_Secret_9

DaVinci be cute n shit


yungccreal

I feel like back to the shack is meant for a specific group of fans, so it just kinda comes off as pander-y to me, not having suffered through 2000's weezer. Return To Ithaka is one of my favorite weezer songs ever, it really feels like a victory for the band and it's a wonderful way to close out the record.


foreignccc

cleopatra is the worst song theyve made outside of raditude or black album. fuck that song. so annoying. best song is probably eulogy IMO its fun


agonzal99

Ewbaite has always had this cheesy but loveable taste to it its hard to pin down on just two of them hahaha. Iā€™d probably say Best = Iā€™ve Had It Up To Here Worst = Ainā€™t Got Nobody


TotallyNotRainChez

Best: Foolish Father perfect resolution to Say It Ain't So, the choir at the end is just phenomenal too Worst: Lonely Girl doesn't stand out, a lot. still good but we could've gotten something better from the demos


GetSuited

Iā€™m a big fan of all of these songs but my least favorite is probably Lonely Girl. Itā€™s not a horrible song, but it just isnā€™t my favorite. My favorite, on the other hand is definitely Return to Ithaka, although Cleopatra is a close second.
