Personally I loved EWBAITE and felt White Album was really good. So far, "Feels Like Summer" has just been meh to me since it came out and that has not changed. Mexican Fender is a bit better and I could listen to it, especially the bridge, but it doesn't stand out that much. It's similar to how I felt about White Album with the roll out of "Thank God for Girls," which grew on me slightly with its really, weird lyrics, but I still can't stand parts of it, but the later released songs like "California Kids" and "LA Girlz" (which I initially felt bad about from title alone, but hearing the track solved my problems with it fast) lead me to think the album would be good and it was for me (Not quite EWBAITE though).
I'm still concerned with them doing an album on a yearly basis because that was a problem with going from 2008-2010 with Red-Raditude-Hurley and I actually like most of Hurley. Now, we've had EWBAITE in 2014 and, then, White Album and Pacific Daydream in 2016 and 2017. Going off their official twitter, the Black Album is still on at some point and this album is releasing because it came together more quickly. I'll still check it out to see how the album turns out like I do with Weezer. Still need to hear through it to get a good opinion on the whole thing. I have reasonable hope this won't be as bad as Raditude was. I'll still hold my expectations in check though.
