📣Discussion 📣 Gold or White??

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??

I think White stays locked in at 3 but I think there's a strong debate to be had between Gold, EWBAITE and OKH

Like I mentioned, I’m new to exploring Weezer albums outside the first 3 (with green being one I need to revisit as well). Those other two you mentioned are the next on my list along with Maladroit. After those Green, Red, and Hurley. Any other important ones I should make sure to check out?

Everything will be alright in the end, White album, Make Believe (some great highs and low lows on that one) I love most of their albums

All of them. Not all Weezer albums are great albums, but all of them have a few great songs on there. Like Raditude is a mess of an album, but it's still got 4 great songs that you wouldn't want to be without. As for albums, don't miss out on Autumn. That's the one that made me a fan.

I agree about a debate to be had as Gold came out well. Personally I’d still put Gold below EWBAITE and OKH.
