At midnight on Thursday morning the band suddenly released Weezer (The Teal Album), which includes ten tracks of covers and a photo of the band all dressed up and ready to attend your college fraternity’s 80’s night. The band was inspired to release a cover album after their cover of Toto’s ‘Africa’ proved to be a huge success.
Track list:
Africa
Everybody Wants to Rule The World

so far i've liked most of them

Glad to see them doing the power chords and stuff that made them who they are while seeming to have fun. The last album ( that i heard of anyway) was fricking atrocious

Woooo. We already have multiple versions of "Mad World" (I'll still take the OG TFF version as unpopular an opinion as that is) and Disturbed did "Shout 2000".

Not that suprising as their cover of Africa has been playing regularly on 92.3 for well over a month

Take on that vocal. I heard a snippet on the link in the OP and Rivers actually does pretty well with it.

If we're gonna talk bands covering TLC...
I prefer Afghan Whig's cover of Creep

I dig everything that I've heard so far 
Really shocked by this thing, but I know that I shouldn't be

Just listened to it and it was pretty decent.

I'll check it out but their cover of Africa is a sham. Its a straight cover with no weezer spin or originality. Its exactly like the original but with worse vocals. 
weezer on this one.

Then you're not going to like the album. They cover the songs exactly like the originals with maybe a few exceptions... I like that, but I can understand how others wouldn't.

Listening to it now. Loving what I’m hearing so far.

This album is lazy and uninspiring. They should've thrown their spin on these covers
Nice cash grab Weezer

Man Billie Jean is awful. That’s an insult to one of the greatest pop songs ever written

Not only for lack of originality, but there's absolutely no rhyme or reason for these songs to all end up on a single CD. Just a mish-mash of unrelated straight covers.
