DeadSlash Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I don't know how this will be received by GnR fans, but I'll be darned if I don't really enjoy the Weezer cover album. My favorite is their cover of Africa, but they are all really good covers, and I typically HATE cover albums, by any band. Thought I'd share, as I had known about the "Africa" cover since September, but the whole album of covers is more recent, a 2019 I was unaware even happened!

Amir Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Hah, one of my work colleagues has been putting this album on the office speakers all the time the past week. I listen to the Paranoid cover on my phone quite a bit. Edited March 13, 2019 by Amir 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) I've never been so disappointed by a band as I have been by Weezer. Their first two records are brilliant in my opinion, both belong to the best alternative guitar records of the 90's, but they have never come close since... there have been some good songs here and there, but most of it has been a disappointment. Cuomo has never recaptured that magic. I might give this one a listen, but I'm not really excited looking at the tracklist.

There is no in-between for me. On 3/13/2019 at 4:22 AM, Amir said: Hah, one of my work colleagues has been putting this album on the office speakers all the time the past week.

Powerage5 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 The only song I’ve heard off it so far was Everybody Wants To Rule The World, but I thought their version of that was great. I plan on checking out the whole album at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes bands really try to alter a cover and it just blows, but this album (with the exception of Paranoid) sounds very true to the originals, but played by Weezer. Paranoid is a surprisingly good cover, but the guitarist sings lead vocals, and sounds a lot like Ozzy, not Cumo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I listened to the Black Album (I only just found out that it was already out), and I'm not gonna lie... I cried a little bit. Let me know when they go back to being a rock band again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
