I agree with several of the reviewers--this is funny, especially if you're more than just a little familiar with Weezer already.
That said, these tracks actually sound good if you try to forget that they were originally by Weezer and what they originally sounded like--some of the songs sound like glorious cowboy, country, prairie adventure music. (You can even tell from the previews, especially for Dope Nose, Buddy Holly, and Across the Sea). Can't you just imagine John Wayne gazing out onto the vastness of the Old American West with one of these songs playing in the background? I can. Except...when I remember the original songs, I keep laughing.
Personally, I can't stand some of the songs, especially Undone. The dissonant notes on the guitar are palatable and work with the "undone-ness" the song is trying to convey, but it just grates your nerves when played high on a violin.
Not recommended for die-hard Weezer fans, but maybe for open-minded music adventurers. Or John Wayne.

When i loged on i saw the new C.D and i really didn't think anything much of it because it was NOT by WEEZER. I saw it again and took a listen and it was so great I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. I can't wait to get it, they re-did hash pipe! I really liked that song, they did it great... they did all the songs that i heard great .

My brother requested this CD. I bought it as a gift. He needed it for when he couldn't listen to music with words as it was "distracting to his environment" This was a great way for him to get the music he wanted without breaking the rules.
