I'm at the point with Weezer where I prefer to hear their new cover songs over their new originals. Africa is not even close to their best album opener, but it's still a great cover.

I don't think it's a terrible cover at all, I'm just so burned out on Africa being a meme/re-popularized hit song. Felt that even before they covered it. However it is perfectly and honestly pleasantly Weezer of them to cover that song in the first place.

Something like probably a tie for top ones, pending on my mood they'd have different rankings
I Want You To (surprising considering the rest of the album is total shit)
My Name is Jonas
Troublemaker
Tired of Sex
Beverly Hills

I dig em, but not best or better than those listed above:
American Gigolo
Ain't Got Nobody
California Kids

Total shit I'll never listen to again:
Turning Up The Radio
Mexican Fender
Memories

Africa does not qualify if you ask me.
