I've noticed, beginning with the Red Album, Weezer started to get a little philosophical, with songs like Pig, Spider, the pompous TGMTEL, and The Angel and the One. Raditude had the quite serious "Love is the Answer" and then Hurley has book-ends "Time Flies" and "Memories." It seems as if as Rivers grows older, his creativity in songwriting is going more towards the analysis of emotions then emotions themselves. I would like to see a Weezer album in the future that is focused only on these philosophical excerpts, something like, The Soft Bulletin. Back in the day Rivers wanted to write a space opera, why not write a pop enlightenment symphony, 10 perfect tracks of philosophical digressions in the pop music form, in the eastern aphoristic style. It could be solid colored album, and sprout about a whole series.
If Blue and Pink were emotional,
and Green, Mal, and MB were popsational
and Red Rad and Hurley were confrontational
why can't Yellow and so forth be educational
???
