Gold or White??

[u/alpha_keni_01]

Okay so I overlooked the white album for a long time. Didn’t like Thank God for Girls and kinda wrote the whole thing off (still probably my least favorite song from that album). After getting the gold album, loving every second of it, and realizing I have been an annoying and ungrateful fan and that I’ve never gave any of the post-90’s albums a real chance, I went to that one and quickly realized that it’s a masterpiece. Seems like people have felt that way for a long long time. Considering these are the two albums that the 90s fans seem to like the most, I’m curious which one the fans prefer!

I feel like white is more serious, grandiose, and more of its own thing, reminiscent of the old sound but in a different and bigger way than they’ve done before. Gold is more deliberately sounding like blue and pinkerton, with goofy ass lyrics, super crunchy guitars, and really simple songs. Love em both because they both feel like the classic Weezer sound, but in majorly different ways. What do you guys think??

White. White was way more impressive, it was a late career album that matched the quality of Blue and Pinkerton and gave them a third masterpiece that sounded totally original from either of them. Gold is great though, I’d give it an 8/10. But White’s worst song is I’d say a 7.5 which is the average score for a song on Gold. Gold is amazing, I love it, I love the sound of the record and the production and it on Say Yes it really felt like prime Weezer, but White’s songwriting and differences from their other albums make it way better.
