UncutDec 20, 2010Collecting from 10 years of album offcuts, Death To False Metal will be a treasure chest for the disenchanted. [Jan 2011, p.106]
-
Dec 15, 2010Rivers Cuomo & co rejuvenate some long lost gems.
-
Dec 8, 2010It's a wonder why a few of these cuts didn't pop up before this, but as a collection of outtakes, they hold together better than some of the band's proper albums.
-
Dec 8, 2010The strange thing is, for all that it is all over the place, compilations of lost songs and outtakes are not supposed to hang together this well. Or be anywhere near this much fun.
-
MojoDec 23, 2010This collection of rarities includes songs from their "mystery year" of 1998, an MOR cover oof Toni Braxton's Unbreak My Heart and on, Turn Up The Radio, a song written as a YouTube collaboration with fans, yet is still stronger than most albums in the current mainstream pop/punk realm. [Jan 2011, p.110]
-
Dec 8, 2010Simply put, Weezer needs to exorcise the metal demons and find a balance that works.
-
Dec 22, 2010Ultimately, this collection is a series of album nearly-rans. This shouldn't undermine the songs, but it should reiterate how strong Weezer's records actually are (for the large part).
-
Dec 8, 2010In its essence, Death To False Metal is competently put together, and adequately celebratory in its own way (as the album title might suggest), but there is very little to latch on to as far as a reason for existence.
-
Dec 8, 2010In execution, though, Death To False Metal is frustratingly hit-or-miss.
-
Kerrang!Jan 31, 2011The rest of these songs weren't good enough to make it onto 2005's Make believe or 2008's Weezer (The Red Album), which says it all really. [6 Nov 2010, p.51]
-
Dec 8, 2010There's no doubt Rivers is capable of astonishing creative output, supposedly at one time writing 384 songs in the space of three years. But, just because you can write a song every other day it doesn't mean that each one is worthy of being unleashed on the public.
-
Dec 8, 2010This album is a step down from Hurley and a bigger step down from the Red album, but it's pretty much on par with Raditude.
-
Dec 8, 2010As a clearinghouse for an increasingly prolific band, False Metal isn't particularly generous. In fact, judging from its wacky title/cover combo, 10-song tracklist, and overall quality, it dubiously achieves Cuomo's stated goal of creating the logical follow-up to Hurley.
