So 2020 was going to be the year of 'Van Weezer' - the big riffs rock album Weezer made as an homage to the metal bands they loved growing up - until, thanks to the global pandemic, it suddenly wasn't. The entire time, however, Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo was busy at the piano, writing a very different album that referenced another vital musical touchstone of his youth: The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. Throughout the summer of Covid-19, he and the band - along with a 38 piece orchestra - chipped away at masked recording sessions until the record was complete. The result is an album called 'OK Human' - a cheeky nod to Radiohead's technophobic future-trip 'OK Computer', but sounding nothing at all like that record.

Reviews"Rivers Cuomo pays tribute to his hermit orchestral-pop heroes, name-checking Harry Nilsson, Serge Gainsbourg, and PET SOUNDS. But of course, it's all Weezer in the end.", "A maximalist, orchestral-pop album with outsized ambitions to match its widescreen instrumentation....Weezer stick with analog equipment, managing an album that is somehow charming even at its cheesiest.", "It's arguably the darkest and most personal record that Cuomo has written since his fans' beloved PINKERTON. It's also one of the most musically ambitious projects in their entire discography.", "OK HUMAN undeniably contains some of the Weezer’s catchiest songs Weezer have put out in their entire career -- just try getting ‘Here Comes The Rain’ out of your head!", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The approach is a not-so-subtle nod at chamber-pop benchmarks like PET SOUNDS and LET IT BE....Cuomo tempers his natural sense of humor to the mood of the music and the world in front of him.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "There’s plenty to delight Weezer fans and newcomers here. Cuomo has rarely been so frank or so open in his lyrics..."
