To add to your correct observation: If you listen to The Rentals and to Chopper One, you'll realize what made the Blue Album so special, and why it's such a standout among the rest of Weezer's catalog. Sharp, Cropper, and Wilson had more significant impact on that album than what's revealed in the liner notes. (And probably the royalties.) In fact, for my money, "Now Playing" and "Return of the Rentals" are considerably better than anything =W= released after the Blue Album. Wilson did his own thing, too, called The Special Goodness. I saw them at an underground club circa 1999/2000. His sound was definitely the widest outlier imo. I'll never forget the haunting lyrics "..be careful what you wish for!" and still have intrusive rememberances of that line from time to time.
The Rentals were the first show I ever went to as a teenager. February of 1996 in Philly. I still love this band...they're still pumping out great songs. Q36 is a phenomenal record.
This should have way more views! 🤷♂️ (I've plastered this all over the internet! Thousands of people have see this because of it. Yet the views on this video aren't going up? ITS A CONSPIRACY!!)
I miss Art Bell so much right now in these times. The saga of Mels hole is one of my favorites, I've listened to it so many times that I have it memorized.
Love this! Great track, great vocals, great guitar, Ronnie laying down some killer drums (pun completely intended) and Matt's musical genius. Thanks for the great music, Matt and co. We need it now. Stay safe!
Holy Shit, what a rad song, The Rentals are so underrated, I always wonder how legendary Weezer would've been if Sharp had stayed, it's sincerely sad to know that something legendary will never be discovered, thankful to have went with Sharp and The Rentals.
As much as I want to agree with you, had =W= been less dysfunctional, maybe we would have missed out on the Rentals and that Chopper One album? When I was 17 I loved Weezer and was basically a Rivers superfan. But discovering the Rentals and Chopper One was like a first look at the cracks in the veneer. ("Hmm, that sure looks like Matt Sharp?" Then moments later, "and wow, that looks like Patrick Wilson, too. What's up with this?") Eventually I started to perceive a certain member of =W= as a despot who seemed a little too eager to take all the credit. It broke me as a Weezer fan. Present day I consider myself more of a "Blue Album fan" and not really a Weezer fan ..almost at all.
I actually stopped caring about The Rentals after their debut album and it was a couple months ago that I randomly heard Elon Musk Is Making Me Sad and damn that was one of the best things that i had heard in a while. I'm looking forward to listen to the whole album! Cheers from Iran!
I'm surprised Matt didn't reference the conspiracy people started saying Kurt faked his death and became Rivers but this song is still 100% f*cking great!
Really wish he would rejoin weezer for one more album. If not for the og weezer fans but for the "old times". Also this entire album is amazing. When rivers style and his style combine you get some of the coolest music from the 90s.
could be new song syndrome but this is my favorite song so far! i have actually liked every single song put out so far so i hope you guys can keep it up!
THE RENTALS new album Q36 is out now! Available everywhere you listen to music. STREAM Q36 ON SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/playlist/2La8Kv1JLHki1IpUkZDUH8?si=YHgA3u5tQLeXEKm9Ei6cvQ Q36 ON APPLE MUSIC: music.apple.com/us/album/q36/1509863328
I learn about Weezer but after listening to all of the rentals (so far) it 10 times better new and maybe 2000s Weezer, some songs are better then Pinkerton songs which is my forth favorite album ever
2:16 Rev Bob Joyce. For the past 2 years I have tried to tell myself he's not Elvis, but I really have to convince myself he isn't. Judge or think whatever you want about me. Reading the comments on his videos is pretty astounding too. So many people believe he is Elvis and I still can't believe this has never hit mainstream media. Really glad Matt slipped this one into the video. Wonder what his take is on it. Look into Rev Bob Joyce. Just hearing his voice is reward enough.
I want to believe that the Pleiadians exist, and they are all angels. I want to believe that those who passed away we loved deeply, they still live happily.
It takes balls to rep flat earth. Nevermind leaving Weezer to go make a real band that will never get the respect they deserve. There is a special place in heaven for Matt.
Lasted 1:50m. Huge fan of Weezer Blue (and Pinkerton) and even Green. Original Rentals my favourite band of all time and will remain so. This.... is garbage..... Besides that I hope Matt Sharp has had his 92nd Booster. Think he is misguided by CNN and MSNBC. He'll wake up. He's "Sharper" than this.
The Rentals : one of the most underrated bands ever :(
Yes! My son is 6 and rhey are one of his favorite bands!
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement!

Philly represent! I wish I was there! Wasn't quite old enough yet.
Matt losing his faith in humanity at end of the video is probably my favorite part
R.I.P. Art Bell.
Awesome song!
These guys deserve so much more love than they get.
Who suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia when Matt said Tupac and Kurt Cobain? 🤟
Very good! I hope there is 30 new songs on this album...More, more, more!
Every song these cats make gets stuck IN MY FREAKIN HEAD!
This should have way more views! 🤷♂️

Piece by piece it’s adding up to a marvelous album!!!
After the trainwreck that's been 2020 a new Rentals record was just what I needed. Thanks Matt!
I'm actually really glad that the pandemic happened because otherwise OK Human wouldn't have been as emotional and dark. It was all worth it lmao
Just put it in my veeeeeeins!
I grew up in the 90s obsessed with The Rentals and just found this! SO HAPPY! 25 years later new album YAY!
LOVE always one of a kind!
Fantastic, one of my favorite Q36 songs so far. Well worth the extra two week wait.
Another awesome song from their 4th studio album. Love you guys!!

One of the best albums of the year so far! Seriously not a bad track on the whole album...and it's a double album.
Seven more minutes was the first the rentals album I listened to. Love y'all's work!
I'm surprised Matt didn't reference the conspiracy people started saying Kurt faked his death and became Rivers but this song is still 100% f*cking great!
Pretty sure Rivers is a robot
meh
very good song. great topic. great art. great art
Thank you Matt Sharp!
Everything in the world is shit right now. I'm glad you guys are still putting out tracks like this. It comforts me.
The Rentals - particularly Matt Sharp - so underrated! Keep rocking Matt - YOU make a difference and your music is EXCELLENT! ( but we knew that )
Very catchy song and can't wait to hear more soon! More Moogs and fuzz guitar, I love that!
nice moog pocket
Am so into the Rentals at the moment and this track is superb.
The tracks from the new album are just knocking it out of the park !
Really wish he would rejoin weezer for one more album. If not for the og weezer fans but for the "old times". Also this entire album is amazing. When rivers style and his style combine you get some of the coolest music from the 90s.
YEESSSH!! EXACTLY!!!! I can imagine rivers melody and voice here combine damn itll be epic
Minimalist masterpiece.
This makes me extremely nostalgic for a time and place that wasn't mine. Great homage and great instrumentation.
Wow, I want this to loop forever
could be new song syndrome but this is my favorite song so far! i have actually liked every single song put out so far so i hope you guys can keep it up!
This needs a physical release!
Yeah I need a CD yesterday!!!
Love this Matt!
Song is crackin. Thank you, Matt and The Rentals!
I don't know what to believe in anymore, except rock and roll.
This is absolutely incredible. Thank you for this!
Can’t wait for this stellar album!! Every song answers the question: “Is there no more good music?” The answer is “conspiracy.”
Q36 is the first Rentals album I've listened to and I absolutely love it. This song in particular is stellar.
Dude (or Dudette), go get the others, already! They are phenomenal. You can thank me later.
Best song yet off a kick-ass album!
kurt cobain is rivers cuomo, lmao.
1:23 aliens WHERE!?!?!?!?!?
also is that a moog labcoat lmao
wth ..this video came out three years ago and seemed to be a crystal ball of some kind peering into this actual year. (2023)
insane song, glad i found u guys
This is great!
めっちゃ良い曲… Thank you
As an 80’s kid I’m just now learning the motto “reach for the stars” was a Regan conspiracy lol

i was looking for that x files song wasn't expect to find an absolute banger like this
Excellent song, great video too. Brilliant work 💙💙
Great track and video 👍
Hope a UK tour date is on the cards at some point!
I want to believe that the Pleiadians exist, and they are all angels. I want to believe that those who passed away we loved deeply, they still live happily.
Thanks for the Vid Matt! Wishing you and your family a safe, socially distanced, conspiracy free day!!!
jaja, que loco, en el minuto 0:37 aparece una parte de un noticiero argentino, TN :)
Exectly for this sound i love Rentals!
It takes balls to rep flat earth. Nevermind leaving Weezer to go make a real band that will never get the respect they deserve. There is a special place in heaven for Matt.
Media Monarchy brought me here! cool track :D
I love it man matt is the best
I love and miss Art Bell, too.

Another awesome track.
I love the Rentals!
💥🔥💯🎯
Love it, from. México
They know too much, shut it down
RIP Bill Cooper, Larry McDonald, Seth Rich, and naiveté.
3:04 lmao love that one
I want a Matt Sharp afterworld. So I can laugh eternally.
The Rentals; the original P tape.
Debuted in my weekly personal chart on April 19, 2020 edition :)
👑
If you're friends with p, then you're friends with me.
If you're down with p, then epstein didn't kill himself.
Bottom of the Baltic Sea indeed. Wow.
The only band that started in the 90s with a perfect discography
Nice
TN en el 0:36 jajaj
FCK YEAH!!! damn... Weez Should be you again Sir!
👌👏🙇💯
love this song
U.S.S. LIBERTY ...
I believe in an alternate universe this song touches upon covid 19. What do you guys think? “Tell me, and I will try to believe, your conspiracy.”
Rentals records are better than a lot of later Weezer ones
New Album is awesome
High quality bot low views :(
Best song since “Interstate Love Song” by STP.
Everything in between was crap.
if you ever need cool album art let me know! I'm an artist, and a painter.
I am Q
Why does the have a Peat and Peat show feeling to it? Oh wait let’s ram a cover In so we can take it to mark over at Viacom, just saying.
Elon Musk is making me happy.
