Reviews Customer Reviews for Across The Sea A Tribute To Weezer      It's not so far across the sea.      Rating:      "Across The Sea" Rocks. If you are in to Weezer tributes, or just enjoy Weezer you should enjoy "Across the Sea." 16 tracks that read like a greatest hits from undone to island in the sun. Weezer's catchy, crunchy pop-rock translates perfectly back to english by these way rockin' jrock bands. I like every track, but "Across the Sea" is a high point, as are just about every other song. "In The Garage" is funkdified, but it works, this is not a tribute you'll say they are trying to sound just like the original. It's hard to keep up on rockin' new bands in Japan, this is a great compilation of a lot of bands I didn't know. I want to hear more from bus tribute, Some Small Hope, Short Circuit and others, including a couple that are in Japanese. I don't know if Clingon's lounge version of "Butterfly" is to be taken seriously, but it's really not that different. Highly recommended.     Customer Reviews for Across The Sea A Tribute To Weezer Cd      Katakana Weezer.      Rating:      Here's yet another tribute compilation to Weezer, and not the least surprising. Its originality lies in the fact that all these covers are played by Japanese bands, and I hope I won't offend any Japanese in the audience, but this record struck me as extremely funny. Ever tried singing with a potato in your mouth? You'll achieve the same effect. However, there are also some pretty original and well-done covers on this record. The ones that immediately come to mind are: Bus Tribute, who changed the chords in Buddy Holly, Reach, whose I Just Threw out the Love of My Dreams is a waltz, or Natsumen & Idaka's Surf Wax America. At the same time, others are just too weird, such as Hermann H. & The Pacemakers' J-Funk In the Garage. This record is of course a must-have for all Weezer fans, and a nice and funny way for J-Pop lovers to discover this wonderful band.
