The latter seems unlikely and I couldn't think of a third option so YAY WEEZER... [even though your last album sucked hard booooo - except the song about Mexican Fenders!] :P
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I remember an interview where Rivers said he basically copied the solo on one of the early tracks (probably not exactly true).
I will listen, I want to hear Mr Blue Sky if nothing else.
I have zero interest in Weezer as a band though.
They've copied, not just covered.
Not a Weezer fan by any means but thought I'd give it a listen as I know the band has a sense of humour, and that might have led on to some really good re-workings of classic songs.
How wrong I was. It's very, very dull.
Someone needs to tell them that the mark of a good cover is to be completely different, yet instantly recognisable.
Should it have been released as an album, though? Maybe a bonus disc with a deluxe edition of an album of original material.
I'm wondering why a fairly mediocre band is getting so much attention for mediocre covers. I still don't understand why any version of "Africa" has made such a comeback into the public consciousness...
A band I really like right now are Puppy - they are like Weezer, but heavier and with more prominent guitars.
