That's an interesting point of view. I completely disagree, but then again I'm not big on dreamy pop. What's your take on their first two albums?

Mercury Rev
Two great albums (Yerself is Steam and Boces) before Dave Baker left. See You on the Other Side was okay, but now they're a joke.

Well, nowhere to go from here but up.

Ah, fucked up my first post.

I think you're onto something. Ryan Hurley is clearly just playing along with Weezer's original post-modern intentions, creating a mindfuckingly awesome po-mo whirlwind in the process.
