re: weezers new album is actually...good?

For the first time in over a decade i like at least half of the songs on the album. I had completely given up on them,which was hard because blue and Pinkerton are my favorite albums of all time. They were also the ones I listened to most growing up. While this album isn't necessarily great, I actually have hope that they may yet have the ability to make something great again. There seems to be some actual self awareness on many of the songs...although I did groan when I first heard back to the shack.
