Maybe the better question is why haven't they done a thing with the album since its announcement? That second single needs to happen soon. What’s your personal theory? Why are they only promoting the Hella Mega Tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal theory is that FOAM was only announced at the time it was so that it could coincide with the tour announcement and the music Weezer and FoB had to release. Earlier than they wanted. Proof? None really, other than hindsight and the fact they’ve done nothing except a music video and the weak NHL partnership since then. It’s just hard to explain the lack of promotion since the announcement. Things will have to pick up in January if this album actually means anything to the band. I’m starting to think there will be something else prior to the tour starting. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah it does make sense that they maybe released the single to coincide with the tour. Seems like a lot of signs saying that something will come prior to the tour starting. Which won't be much longer after FOAM gets released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PursuitOfEpicness Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Kinda hope they don't announce another tour too soon, I mean I hope they do their own and headline but wait a bit after to announce because a lot of us are still recovering from shelling out the money for Hella Mega ... well at least me. Hope to God I don't regret it. I really have no idea what to expect for this album. I guess the tracklist is okay but kinda sad they changed Bulletproof Backpack. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Q-Man Posted December 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2019 I may be the minority here but I've come to really like the album cover and even more this back artwork with the track listing! Something about seeing this back artwork has me extremely excited for the songs all of a sudden and I'm not sure why. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Tracklist, yes! That's all I needed. Now we can speculate on what the story of this rock opera will be: Guy is frustrated with life. Goes nuts. Parties, gets his heart broken and then looks back at his wild ways with a mixture of sadness and closure. Wait, that sounds familiar. Maybe the next rock opera can change things up a bit, like tell the story in reverse or replace the main protagonist with a woman or something. :() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I know that titles are the least important part of a song, and I don't judge based on them....but those are some clunky titles. Really glad to see shorter ones on this revised tracklist, and for some reason feel as though "Graffitia" is going to be something really special. Something very, very special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m starting to think there will be something else prior to the tour starting. That's not a theory, it just feels like a fact that everything came that early because of the tour. Weezer's album literally doesn't come out until eight months after that initial Hella Mega announcement. We could have gotten it worse though, The Killers announced their new album with a UK tour but all that's announced is the title and a cover that according to the band's website is subject to change.

pacejunkie punk Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 At a time when news and trends come and go every five minutes, why does music still take so long to make and release? They can produce ten hours of a top quality television series in a year, yet it can take years to get thirty minutes of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't sound too odd, tbh. Most concert ticket sales happen in the window immediately following announcement. I'd imagine ads will die off for now, and then probably pick up locally surrounding the dates themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but it was kind of weird because it was true bombardment in my case. I was watching a video on how to fry a watermelon steak (im not joking) and I got two ads for hella mega. Like, there was promotion everywhere... but you're probably right lol 3 hours ago, GDFan2019 said: This is exactly what Billie hinted at! “We’ll probably put out another album like before the tour or something.” Magnum Opus of Cigarettes and Valentines?
