    Going to add to @TarpsyBaby's review. Feels very much like a Karaoke album. Doing any type of cover is always tricky. A good cover = not going too far off from the original so people recognize the original song but also making it your own and add a new twist to it. It can be done a variety of ways most commonly speeding it up or slowing it down. Weezer is basically putting out aGoing to add to @TarpsyBaby's review. Feels very much like a Karaoke album. Doing any type of cover is always tricky. A good cover = not going too far off from the original so people recognize the original song but also making it your own and add a new twist to it. It can be done a variety of ways most commonly speeding it up or slowing it down. Weezer is basically putting out a Karaoke album pretty much trying to sound like all the original songs. You can get away with it on some songs but not the entire album.

    Africa, Take on Me, and an honorable mention to Mr. Blue Sky. I want to say Scrubs as well but its both interesting and bad at the same time if that makes sense?

    Billie Jean sounds like a Weird Al cover without the jokes. Stand by me is just awful.

    This is not a covers album. This is a karaoke album... and a really bad one at that. Weezer would have been better had they been left back in 1994. Time to retire, fellas.

    band sucks and they are not even a good meme. these covers are way too overproduced and make normal pop music look better in comparison(and modern pop sucks for the record). what happened rivers?

    It's boring and forgettable. The choice to cover songs that everyone and their mother has already covered ends up making this an easily skippable record unfortunately.

    For an album with both a Eurythmics cover AND a Black Sabbath cover it’s a surprisingly listenable, albeit pointless entry in their discography, Weezer has spent a decade becoming more interesting to read about than listen to.

    The whole endeavor feels like a joke set-up with no punchline. The Teal Album's greatest sin is it is neither the best nor worst version of itself and by being so overwhelming mediocre, it renders itself completely pointless. It is essentially musical copypasta.

    As well as they’ve delivered The Teal Album, they don’t quite hit the mark with every one of its takes, with their version ‘No Scrubs’ feeling more than a little bit uncomfortable.
