This review is from: Alone 2- The Home Recordings Of Rivers Cuomo (MP3 Download)

So the first "Alone" album that River's released was awesome. It is great to hear demo Weezer and solo River's stuff. One of the best tunes on that one was "Chess".

River's brings us another album chock full of Weezer and solo demos that are always fun to hear. The cover of the Beach Boys was so wonderful. I am glad that they are releasing these tracks.

If you like Weezer, then you have to check out these demo recordings. A few songs you may recognize, but most of them you will have never heard before. It is like a little insight into the song writing and thought process of one of the greatest bands for the last 15 years.

The first Alone release was a treat for Weezer fans. It featured a good amount of songs, including a few that are somewhat hard to get. Alone 2 passes its predecessor. It has a better selection of songs and even more rarer songs. Also, it seems to have more listening value than Alone 1. Two stand-out tracks: "Can't Stop Partying" and "Cold and Damp". "Partying" is a slow-paced track that carries humor with it - perhaps just because of the subject matter being sung by Rivers. "Cold and Damp" is a little trickier for me to describe, but something about it sticks out. And for those who know a little about Rivers, his love for soccer shines through with "My Day is Coming."

Overall, it's probably more a 4.5 rather than a 5, but either way, it's a great collection. If you enjoyed the first Alone, this is a must.

If you liked the first Alone CD, you'll love this one as Rivers goes deeper in the vault.
