We’ve missed you. This album could reasonably be called their peak of the decade. U2 has been the world’s greatest band for so long that, over the last 20+ years, they haven’t had to worry about their success. Since the late ‘90s, they’ve been releasing somewhat forgettable records, all while touring the world.</p> <p>This time around, aging has brought them depth and texture to their music. Yes, there are a few minor flaws (read: dull <a href="http://thexx.info/home/" target="_blank">xx</a>-like guitar interludes and one too many mainstream pop choruses) but their ability to invest themselves in their sound with purpose and meaning makes it easy to overlook the maladroit touches.</p> <h3><strong>Radio-friendly + heartfelt delivery + memorable choruses</strong></h3> <p><em>Songs of Experience</em> shimmers with Bono's solid vocal range. The album's concept is a contemporary take on maturity, politics, and universalisms which are highlighted through uplifting anthems (see songs: “Get Out of Your Own Way” and “American Soul”.)</p> <h3><strong>More heaviness, more jamming, more energy </strong></h3> <p>The band’s 14<sup>th</sup> album offers its audience elements of stellar, unencumbered contemporary sounds that are well balanced throughout all 13 songs.</p> <ul><li><strong>“Love is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way”:</strong> a restless mix of beauty and love</li> <li><strong>“13 (There Is A Light)”:</strong> a heartfelt apology to Bono’s wife, Ali Hewson</li> </ul><h3><strong>“The problem with rock now is that it’s trying to be cool.” – Bono </strong></h3> <p>U2 is committed to uplift and empower, not to be cool. All in all, you can focus on the grooves, the AC/DC-ish riffs, the collective playing or analyze Bono's punchy lyrics. His inspirational and broad vision remains the same in <em>Songs of Experience</em>, making it a warm hug of an album.</p> <h3><strong>The ones you need to give a listen</strong></h3> <ul><li><strong>“Lights of Home”:</strong> eclectic blend of emotions + Bono’s gorgeous vocals</li> <li><strong>“American Soul”:</strong> pure rock 'n' roll</li> <li><strong>“The Little Things That Give You Away”:</strong> classic U2 riffs + intense momentum</li> <li><strong>“Get Out Of Your Own Way”:</strong> hypnotic bassline and gospelized anthems</li> </ul><p><strong>Feel like a little trip down memory lane? <a href="https://music.stingray.com/web-music-player" target="_blank"><em>Stingray Music</em></a>’s got all the U2 you’re looking for. </strong></p> <p><strong>Stay on the pulse of the most important stories in music.

Girlz”, “Island In The Sun”, “Ain’t Got Nobody”, and “Perfect Situation”.</p> <h3><strong>Let’s take a moment to celebrate Weezer’s triumphant return</strong></h3> <p>Get ready Weezer fans, you will find <strong>plenty</strong> to explore on the band’s latest album <em>Pacific Daydream</em>.</p> <p><em>Pacific Daydream</em> requires repeated listening to fully grasp every genius element (catchy hooks, perfectly timed lyrics, masterful reverb, crunchy guitar riffs, overall sharpness and sensibility, etc.) that was strategically incorporated into each song. The passages and movements make individual songs stand out, as they are filled with California pop guitar riffs and fresh dance hooks to keep things interesting. Props to Cuomo for some fine editing.</p> <h3><strong>A new tonality with a hint of nostalgia</strong></h3> <p>The record sounds modular in the vein of the band’s technique in <em>Ratitude</em> (such a great album). There are a handful of noteworthy moments – the classic, simple strumming in “QB Blitz”, the dance-pop feels of “Mexican Fender”, and the sleek synths in “Happy Hour”.</p> <p>Even though percussions are front and center on this album, Weezer leaves plenty of space for their signature sunny hooks, festival-ready choruses, and invigorating boogie melodies. <em>Pacific Daydream</em> is an entire career of work crammed into a record, rather than a mere forgettable discography step.</p> <h3><strong>Weezer: the exception to all rules</strong></h3> <p>More than ten albums in, Rivers Cuomo knows how to keep the machine running. Weezer is far from losing its touch. <em>Pacific Daydream</em> is a relatable and powerful album with enough innovation to keep Weezer fans satisfied until the next album. Thanks guys for another gem I’ll cherish for the years to come.</p> <h4><strong>Fave lyrics</strong></h4> <ul><li><strong>Track #3 Beach Boys</strong>: “It’s a hip hop world / Let’s get out of the city.”</li> <li><strong>Track #6 QB Blitz</strong>: “You gotta choose between the internet and me”</li> <li><strong>Track #4 Happy Hour</strong>: “I'm like Stevie Ray Vaughan on the stage, high on music /Teeth grindin', sweatin' under the lights”</li> <li><strong>Track #9 La Mancha Screwjob</strong>: “I'm not any wiser / Since the day I met you / And I love life with you, with you”</li> </ul><h4><strong>Tracks that’ll make you want to grab a longboard and cruise by the beach</strong></h4> <ul><li>Mexican Fender</li> <li>Happy Hour</li> <li>QB Blitz</li> <li>Beach Boys</li> </ul><p><strong>Can’t get enough of the Weezer boys?
