Weezer – SZNZ: Summer LP Transparent Neon Yellow Vinyl

Weezer – SZNZ: Summer

"SZNZ: Summer," the second installment of Weezer's four-EP song cycle, continues the narrative begun on "SZNZ: Spring," bringing to life pagan myths, Shakespeare, Catholic rituals, Vivaldi's Four Seasons and more. It's an angry, outraged EP that replaces the lighthearted tone of "SZNZ: Spring."

"SZNZ: Summer" is Weezer's classic '90s alt-rock sound filtered through 21st century production that makes every note - and every emotion - bigger and bolder. As on "Spring," the lyrics seamlessly juxtapose old and modern elements as only frontman Rivers Cuomo can. 

"Lawn Chair" calls for archangels to torture people, followed by "Records," perhaps the only song you'll hear in 2022 that references pop stars in the chorus.
The songs are about irreverent proclamations ("What if I was to say 'hell no, I'm not your soldier boy"), standing up for yourself, revenge fantasies ("Feed 'em to the lions / Taste your own medicine") and more.

The EP as a whole brings together some of the most notable melodic threads from the band's acclaimed output over the past eight years: The incredibly rambling "Thank You and Good Night" recalls parts of the "Futurescope" trilogy of "Everything Will Be Alright In The End"; "What's The Good Of Being Good" has a classic vocal line that would have been right at home on "Weezer (The White Album).
