Weezer - Teal Album - 2019
I really hated this when it came out. I kind of didn't understand it. It's full of keyboards and Weezer isn't a keyboard band. Plus, I really really reallllllllly hate Tribute Albums by individual bands. Remember that terrible Thank You record by Duran Duran? Or Spaghetti Incident?
Ugh.
This one starts off really weird with "Africa"? I get why they did it but...it's not all that. It reminds you that the original is better.
And from there it just plays like a jukebox of songs Rivers liked growing up. And that's great when it gets to Sabbath and A-Ha and ELO.
But then we get "No Scrubs" and an earnest but useless version of "Billie Jean".
Much of this is unnecessary but would be fine to walk to on the treadmill in the gym.
Grade: C
