Review "Various Artists" by Rock Music: A Tribute to Weezer (2002)
April 23rd, 2009
On Stone Medicine: A Tribute to Weezer, popular and not-so-popular tinder and emo bands from all over possess gotten together to make a tribute album that does Non, I iterate does Not, regular contain Weezer’s biggest hits, "Sidekick Holly" or "Undone (The Perspirer Song)." What it does hold is proof that even the catchiest Weezer songs backside be easily finished by what appears to be a deficiency creativeness and/or spiritlessness. However, the passably decent covers here are capable to retain the album from being a nail waste of time and money.
The CD starts sour with Affinity’s emo/hardcore version of "My Call is Jonas." They find props for adding their original screams to the song, just it is pretty absurd listening to lyrics like "Bracing out of Batteries!" screamed at the top of someone’s lungs. Next up is Electrical Dramatic art favorites Motley with their interpretation of "No One Else," which sounds just like the original, merely without the cleaner-sounding reliever vocals. After that is the snotnosed-sounding Glasseater’s horrendous rendering of "Holiday" (which ends with an embarrassing screaming fury) and Grade’s senseless cover of "Surf Mount America." Some balladeer named Christopher Gospel According to John does a drowsing version of "The Public has Turned and Left Me Here" that sounds like it’s being played on super-slow focal ratio (warning: do not heed to this song while driving or operating fleshy equipment). The Stereo’s oil production edition of "El Scorcho" certainly proves that a Weezer song that isn’t that majuscule to get down with is pretty a great deal a Weezer song that isn’t that great to begin with.
The two really frightful tracks that I’m trusted tempted Cuomo and company to regard legal action, include Mycomplex’s complicated "Shopworn of Sex" and The Impossibles’ pathetic take on one of the catchiest Weezer songs, "The Proficient Life." I expected better from a Weezer-esque dance orchestra like the Impossibles, wHO bump to write attention-getting songs themselves, only it seemed like their higgledy-piggledy creativity genuinely went to their head on this unrivalled and the result can only be described as disastrous. Fascia Confessional’s "Jamie" and Ataris’ "Butterfly" are iI enjoyable acoustic tracks, and Midtown’s "Susanne" is sour into your typical pop-punk ditty that isn’t overly spoiled. The only two songs that sound like in that respect were whatever actual hard shape or inspiration commit into them are Further Seems Forever’s piano-laced "Say it Ain’t So," and Mock Orange’s emotional, style-changing "Only In Dreams." With those iI exceptions, "Rock Music: A Tribute to Weezer" proves that the unique and magnificent songs that Weezer have created cannot be improved upon, and that’s a upright thing - fifty-fifty if this track record isn’t.
