Weezer - SZNZ: Spring EP REVIEW
Rivers Cuomo’s really in his elven bag for the promo.
So, we have an interesting project here. Beloved indie rock group Weezer, who recently put out one of their best projects [OK Human] and one of their worst projects [Van Weezer] in the same year, are putting out four seven-track EPs this year, each of them representing one of the four seasons. The series is called SZNZ, which I finally learned the actual spelling of. They’re all set to drop on the first day of that corresponding season, and we’re starting off with springtime. Not really that much of an intro, so let’s get into SZNZ: Spring.
If I’m being honest, there’s not a lot to say about it since this is part one of a project. For lack of a better term, this very much sounds like springtime. It’s more acoustic and inspired by folk music, and I think that’s a good direction for Weezer to go in for a full-length album outside of this project. The Shakespeare lyrics on “Opening Night” are pretty bad, though. One of the other things I thought of while listening to this was King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s entirely acoustic album, Paper Mache Dream Balloon, which I listened to the other day. Is it weird that that’s all I have for this? I think the first installment in the SZNZ series is cute and fun. Weezer embark on a year-long adventure starting this spring.
