WEEZER – VAN WEEZER – ALBUM REVIEW
Whilst the wait for âVan Weezerâ hasnât reached âChinese Democracyâ levels, the album felt almost mythical until now. The record was first announced by Weezer in September 2019! Since then the album has seen delays enforced by the pandemic. Along with a release schedule to coincide with the bands participation in the Hella Mega Tour.
With those shows now postponed until 2022 we should be glad that the band has followed through with the albumâs release now. After all the band has already released one new album since âVan Weezer’ was announced! The surprise release of âOK Humanâ in January saw the band in chilled mood.

âVan Weezerâ is almost the polar opposite of âOK Humanâ as the group channel their inner hard rockers. With a sound taking influences from many of heavy musics forefathers, Weezer evidence their dexterity with an uplifting homage to their heroes.
We called âOK Humanâ an album to chill out to on a Sunday afternoon, but âVan Weezerâ is a party album through and through. The riffs and solos that comprise this album will have you bouncing around your living room with an air guitar in hand.

This feels like a love letter to the bands influences, so much so that the likes of âI Need Some of Thatâ, âBeginning of the Endâ and âBlue Dreamâ feature samples and interpolations of famous tracks from the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Blue Oyster Cult.
From the first mutterings of âVan Weezerâ back in 2019, you suspected it would be an interesting album. Over the top, outlandish, brash and most of all fun, the album not only lives up to but surpasses all expectations.
