... and Weezer gone lame

So one of my beloved bands did not let me down. Another one definitely did. What happened to you, Weezer? There were some songs on the "Red Album" which made me think: "Ok, maybe that is just filling material" - I still don't understand why you don't let Rivers Cuomo sing all the songs. But at least that album had killer songs like "The greatest man that ever lived", even if it did not come anywhere close my all-time-number one "Blue Album"...but WTF (and sorry for being so explicit) did you think when you recorded "Raditude"? I mean, fine - take some drugs to be creative but please, please, please listen to the songs you have recorded once you are clean before you let them loose on mankind. I used to be one of your biggest fans, but there are three reasons why I just have to hate this album (and stop just buying every new release without listening):

a)You rap in those songs - again. Maybe I only speak for myself, but the majority of people, who enjoy your style, DISGUST Hip Hop. I thought it was a one-off last time, but why do you keep doing it. Yeah, crossover was cool for a short while, but when have you heard of Linkin' Park or Crazy Town in the last few years???

b) Your lyrics are so lame, I can't believe you did not produce them by using random rhymes from a machine you found online. What went through you, when you wrote these lines?

"I thought tonight would suck like every other night
I'd party with my friends
But when I saw you grooving on the dance floor
Normal came to an end

We started talking and man, it was so clear to me
There's no one else like you
You got the brains, the body, and the beauty
To top it off, you're cool"

(From: "I'm your daddy")

Well, I suppose even the Blue Album was not without it's flaws, but this is just the mindless babbling teeny bands or hip hoppers call their lyrics.

c) Do not bring out an album every year. I have waited for ages for some of your records. I bought them all. The Red Album was not great, but I still liked it. But if you don't have better ideas than those you show on "Raditude" leave it be until 2011...

I know Weezer won't care about what I think, but maybe I can prevent you from buying their worst album so far. So enjoy some quality music and buy the Blue Album instead. :)
