I once had a dream where I met rivers cuomo. I asked him, "how come you have so much good music that never makes it on to any of your major releases? People would love all these songs" He looked me dead in the eye and said "because I don't care".

He probably has so much material, also some songs maybe just doesn't align with his ideas for an album. Some songs waited for more than 20 years to be released(byzantine, for example). Lately, his albums are most entirely consistent of old ideas and demos. And he wrote most of his post pinkerton songs in 2002-2005 and then 2010-2014. Like, almost all songs from VW that we heard are demos from ewbaite era.

Obsessing over Weezer demos is certainly a special thing. It’s hard to put my feelings into words, but I know I love the band much more because of their demos than I might have otherwise. In fact, the great 2020 demo droppings were what got me back into Weezer after not being so interested for a long time, and they brought me back in such a huge way

They'll tease us all with it, then we'll have to come to yt to bootleg it because they'll never put it out. Just like I had to pay $20 for a bootleg of Goat Punishment shit 20 yrs ago. I'd like to know why the good stuff never gets released and the albums sound like crap. If they write all of this, just start dropping doubles. Just release double albums like mad. Nobody does double albums anymore. Stop the bs. Been down since 97, stop toying with me.

They never stopped making great music but for some reason all the great tracks don’t make it to the album or are altered for the worst by the time they make it to the album. It’s like Rivers doesn’t understand that we like the raw vocal performances. We like THIS sound. Just a little more polished and it’s perfect.

I’m your typical grumpy 90s weezer fan, and I’ve always been fascinated with the albums that could’ve been, making my own track lists of demos/b-sides and such. I always figured this era was mostly utter garbage so I didn’t even bother downloading these demos but I stumbled onto this the other day and have been obsessed. What the fuck. This is an ACTUAL weezer album. I really wish they’d get with Jake Sinclair and take this exact arrangement of these songs and take it across the finish line. This is crazy. It is unfortunate, however, how much King Of Earth sounds like an incel shooter’s manifesto. Maybe that’s the point? Oof.
