Weezer: 10 Worst Songs You Need To Forget
6. Time Flies
If the album artwork featuring Jorge Garcia wasn’t enough of an indication, Hurley is a weird album. The craziest moments include a song about missing socks, with the word sock replaced with sex, and a song with Michael Cera on the mandolin in Hang On. Weezer even teamed up with whoever your favourite YouTuber was in 2010 to promote the album, as the band had just signed to indie record label Epitaph.
But Time Flies is strange just because it sounds unfinished. You know how all music sounds and feels horrible in your headphones if you turn it all the way up? Time Flies sounds like that at normal volume. An overall scatty wall of noise like trying to search for a radio station with the aerial partially down.
Whether a reference to the fleeting nature of time or just a hallmark of a rushed embarrassment, the song has a horrendous abrupt ending which hurts all the more when this was the albums closer. An average album soured by one song. I'm glad time has forgotten about this song.
