Weezer: The 8-Bit Album

What band is nerdier than Weezer? Well, They Might Be Giants, We Are Scientists, Barenaked Ladies, DEVO…but I digress.

The point is, that recently, the 8-Bit music collective known as Pterodactyl Squad released an album of Weezer covers done in 8-bit Chiptune music.

The album is very-much solid, with contributions from the likes of I Fight Dragons, PDF Format, Bit Shifter, among others.

The bulk of these tracks are instrumentals, but a few have vocals that, honestly, took me out of the experience. Specifically the cover of “The World Has Turned And Left Me Here” contains the voice of, what would seem, a young Nicholas Cage impersonator.

As far as 8-bit albums go, this one is worth the listen. It takes one of the most-endearing and popular nerd bands of our generation and ramps-up the sentiments sung of in “In The Garage” to 11.
