Weezer Tribute Review

Kiedis Morrison | Nor*Cal | 01/30/2005

(2 out of 5 stars)

"One of the better qualities of this tribute is that most of the artists try to make the songs their own. However, this is detrimental to the overall sound because it is not very cohesive at all and most of the covers are pretty horrible. One of the better covers is The Dashboard Confessionals, "Jamie," which is actually pretty suited to the lead singer's voice. "Surf Wax America" is pretty horribly covered, just a bunch of screaming, which is disappointing since the original Weezer song is so exciting and fun to listen to. Overall, this is a pretty disappointing record because the reason most of these covers are passable is because they try so hard to sound like Rivers Cuomo and the rest of the band. Covers are supposed to be distincitive of the artists trying to recreate the songs. I would recommend you to not buy this CD, but download these songs from iTunes or something if you want the cover version:

- The Good Life

- El Scorcho

- Jamie

- Only in Dreams"

These people are not to forgiving

"This album is a very nice remake of weezer songs into their own verison of the song, while keeping some of the original parts of it. I think it is worth every penny."

Hmm yes.

"this cd is great. first off, dont judge this cd based on your love for weezer..judge on how good it is...the covers are great, they maintain the core of weezer, but each of the bands add in their own style...now i'm a fan of 'hardcore' music...so i love the covers by Glasseater and Affinity....so yeah, if your looking for something new, something to keep your weezer fix in check...pick this one up, give it a listen...give it a shot....

k bye."
