The new Weezer is pretty lame. Just sounds like they tried to make everything sound as close to the original as possible. No real incentive to listen to those tracks over the original.
More White Denim! NY Money might be my favorite thing they've put out since D
NY Money is so damn good! I agree that D is their high point, and this is probably the best single moment since then. I was a bit higher on Stiff than others though..I thought it was a really well put together, albeit somewhat straightforward, rock record.

Stiff just felt too reminiscent of the kind of '70s rock I've never been a big fan of without much else going on. And the member changes really showed to me. They weren't firing on all cylinders the way they were on D and Corsicana. Performance felt like a much improved version of Stiff, and these new tracks are them starting to get more adventurous again. So I'll be looking forward to this next album
Lattimore and McCaughan actually recorded New Rain Duets almost two years ago. The two musicians met up in the spring of 2017 hoping to wash away the muck of the 2016 election with some improvisational duets. With Lattimore on harp and McCaughan on synthesizer, they created four cosmic instrumentals that bleed into each other, an extended ambient head trip that might just fulfill its intentions of giving listeners a mental fresh start. As McCaughan explains over email, it certainly accomplished that purpose for its creators:
Improvising with Mary is easy because you know that she makes anything sound beautiful, and beauty was something i think we were both after in the wake of a terrible 2016.
Not that everything beautiful has to be immaculate or easy, or that dissonance doesn’t play a role, but the idea of playing music with no words, which is improvised and therefore new, was very appealing in the Spring of 2017.
The name of the collaboration — New Rain Duets — hopefully reflects that idea of washing some things away and starting fresh.

I saw a 20 minute set last year and was blown away. Good stuff.
