Weezer have managed to disappoint and piss off their fan base for about ten years simply by doing whatever the fuck they want to.
I’m not the biggest fan of their recent material. (although Hurley was alright) Now the band has recorded a version of Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android”. The track comes from Radiohead’s 1997 album OK Computer.
Instrumentally, it’s the exact same thing. What makes this cover so cool is Rivers Cuomo’s geeky voice. And he sings “what’s that” instead of “what’s this”.
At first when I heard “what’s that?” I was like, whaaaat? But his voice is cool on the song. I’m impressed with how well they replicated the music, it sounds pretty much identical.
Yeah, I needed this to remind me that Weezer is still a good group at times.
