Weezer’s 20th Album Is Good as Gold

With its looser feel and top-shelf songs, it’s hard to imagine a better record from this band this far down the line than the Gold Album

Weezer has always had a thing for concept records, whether they’re imagining “the Beach Boys gone bad” (2017’s Pacific Daydream), doing a set of beloved old radio hits (2019’s The Teal Album), getting in touch with their quasi-sensitive side (2021’s OK Human) or paying tribute to the Eighties metal greats (that same year’s Van Weezer). For their 20th LP, technically self-titled but also known as The Gold Album, the concept is at once highly ironic and gloriously straightforward: a Weezer record that sounds like a classic Weezer record. “There’s something special about your early shit,” Rivers Cuomo intones — simultaneously tongue-in-cheek and heart-on-sleeve — at the opening of “C.E.O.,” a highlight anthem that sounds unmistakably indebted to their own 1994 classic “Undone (The Sweater Song).” The sentiment set the table for a record that often suggests what might’ve happened if the band had released a transitional album in 1995, between their debut 1994 alt-rock smash The Blue Album and their 1996 emo-adjacent masterpiece Pinkerton. Weezer’s Gold is, in fact, Weezer gold. 

Volvo Used Compressed Air To Spin A Turbo For Lag-Free Boost, But It Didn't Catch On - Jalopnik

Turbo lag has annoyed drivers for pretty much as long as turbocharged cars have been around. Step on the accelerator pedal, wait for a moment to let the boost build up, and only then do you get the speed and power you requested. It used to be a hassle, but modern boosted engines have largely tamed the issue with variable-geometry turbos, sequential turbocharging, and even electrical assistance (48-volt mild hybrid systems).

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles composer Kumi Tanioka says that she didn't make the new, very likely AI-generated album on her Spotify page

What a boring thing to do, mysterious uploaded

Well, here's something that's a bit of a bummer. You'll probably best know Kumi Tanioka as the composer behind Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, though her work can also be found across the likes of Final Fantasy 11, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and more recently, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. But lately, it seems like someone's been trying to pass off an entirely AI generated album as her work, much to Tanioka's own confusion.
