Weezer Play "Back to the Shack" on Fallon, Win Me Over

Rated Wrong has been all abuzz with Weezer news this past few days, and while it was going on they went and released a new single.

Because Gentlemen's DisAgreement was recorded on Sunday and the single dropped Monday night, Rated Wrong hasn't had a chance to weigh in on it as of yet, a wrong that shall be righted forthwith.

Initially, "Back to the Shack" was a mixed bag for me.  It, of course, doesn't really sound like 90s Weezer.  If I was going to put it on an album I'd say Maladroit, if I was going to compare it to a single I'd say (sorry world) "Beverly Hills."

I really like the musicality of it.  The guitars are cool (everything Eli said he wanted in the podcast), but the lyrics are a little corny.

All was made right, however, when Weezer hit up Fallon last night and rocked out their new single for the masses.  The song has great drive in the performance and the band appears to have fun playing it.  Even if it isn't the Weez of old (which it was never going to be) I can still enjoy it.

Color me sold.
