I love this cover because I can finally understand what is being said in the song. I too hate Thom's voice and 95% of the trash his band puts out.

these covers only make me want to listen to the original versions, and that's never a good sign.

lol @ weezer.com forum members calling Radiohead's music trash.

And as I see it...Paranoid Android is just a great track. It's interesting to hear another band perform the track, if only for the subtle differences and hearing Rivers' voice on it; because for all the man's poor judgement, he is a good singer.

You Might Think is a solid cover, and I think the spin weezer puts on it works a bit better than the original, which just sounds dated at this point. Too synth-heavy. I realize that was a part of the Cars' sound, but it ends up feeling a bit unbalanced.

'Pumped Up Kicks' I had never heard before. Looked it up after I saw this, and I have to say the original lacks the energy of weezer's version. It feels too tame. So I think the cover is a step forward for that one.

Just figured I'd make a thread because, you know.....I can.
