"It's a good album - the first 2-3 tracks are excellent but falls into a comfort zone from there on that it never really recovers from... Not their best (IMO) but very much worth it if you already like them."  Reply

"After the two great albums that Weezer released in 2014 and 2016, I was disappointed when the boys followed them up with a very average and forgettable album. There is nothing offensively bad here, but also very little that stands out. The first four tracks are all varying levels of "meh", but Be..."  [+]  Reply

"I have so much respect for this album and this band. I'll keep it short. First Things First brings sheds light on depression and suicide. Frontman Matt Smith seems to both express his pain, and address the issue. It's not a feel good album, it's not a sad album. The songs are somehow hopeful, tho..."  [+]  Reply

"This is their best since their debut. It's nothing overly new from them, or great either. However, it took me by surprise. Here my outlook was almost completely sour toward everything that came after that first album. I'm very glad that they managed to create something good again, it gives me hope."  Reply

"The true problem with this album is that while listening to it, i'm thinking about how much better rhythms and melodies would fit in better, but no making it a rehash of something else already released makes more money."  Reply

"The best pure trap record I heard till now, because while I like trap style instrumentals when used by artists like Denzel Curry, Weeknd or Kendrick, their vocal styles arent really trap. This is the best record with both trap beats and trap style rapping, and mostly because while Offset has a tr..."  [+]  Reply

"Dave Malloy's Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 is not only one of the finest pieces of musical theatre to date, but this cast recording is recorded with such mastery that it is a definitive archive of the musical. It is a complete recording of the entire show, and the mixing and masterin..."  [+]  Reply
