Oblivions Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I hope the Teal album counts as a proper terrible full length and gets us one record closer to the next good Weezer album. gracetoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? I just skimmed through it on Spotify and it would be a hilariously good/fun stop-gap otherwise except for the absolutely absurd tracklist which is half 80's gold and half random choices of songs that completely throw off what could have been a neat 80's covers album (I mean...they're looking a tad Miami Vice on the cover at least). Goddamn. Weezer leaves me so conflicted sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 All they had to do was not choose the most goofball ‘LOLing at pop culture memes in the toy/book section of Urban Outfitters’ tracklist and this could have been fun. I’d pay decent $$$ to hear Weezer cover tracks from this equally random but less ironic list I just made up: R.E.M., Built to Spill, Alex G, Tegan and Sara, Ratboys, Tom Petty, Mitski, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, XTC, Fiona Apple, etc etc. Shelby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get what you are saying, if they aren't doing anything different than the original, whats the point. I think thats why they are treating it like an afterthought and tossing it out there.

turk99 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Weezer is great at covering songs. They are not so good at writing their own songs. I wish they would cover Weezer Blue/Pinkerton/Everything Will Be All Right In the End Weezer. That was a good band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) I like it, however it is horribly compressed. Count me in when/if they have a separate mastering for vinyl.

niblips Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 i expected an announcement for a vinyl release of this by now....but still nothing....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 RSD makes the most sense. IDK if they would roll this out with a real album coming out soon. Teal was just a throwaway release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
