Make Believe by Weezer

Pros: Beverly Hills, We Are All On Drugs, and a few other peppy tunes
Cons: Somewhat lacking in energy; a few tracks latch onto current trends

I remember a rumor coming out shortly before the release of Maladroit that Weezer would start releasing shorter albums about once a year. Well, after getting albums in 2001 and 2002, that plan (assuming there really was one) was obviously ...

Pros: Some decent lyrics, I like the band's sound
Cons: Very musically limited and derivative of itself, Less quirky than other works, Short!

Back in college, I worked with a guy who had very different musical tastes than I do. He despised almost every mainstream group, artist, sound. We worked together late at night in a cramped space and every now and then he would insist on taking over ...

Pros: A couple of unstickable tunes...
Cons: ...but mostly just generic TRL rock.

There may be no other band to have emerged from the muddy, polluted wake of the early 90s grunge barge than Weezer, no other rock star to command as much blind devotion from fans, no other frontman granted so much suffering tolerance by his ...

Pros: some decent lyrics, vocals, and guitar work
Cons: lacking hooks and memorability

It's been a long wait for fans of nerd rock heroes Weezer with regards to the band's oft-delayed fifth album. After dropping the Green Album and Maladroit after only a year or so, it's now taken the better part of three years for ...

Pros: Three tracks, and the three men in back.
Cons: Cuomo, the lyrics, the lack of heart, and nine other songs...

Weezer's Make Believe may just be the greatest disappointment of the century. Weezer, a band practically notorious for churning out all sorts of goodies, had previously never made an album which ranked below four stars (to anyone with an iota of ...

Pros: The first four songs and the last three songs are decent
Cons: Those five songs in the middle, the lyrics throughout the entire album

What a great day May 10th was going to be! New albums by Weezer and the Dave Matthews Band, two of my favorite bands of the past ten years! I had been eagerly anticipating that day for over two months. Now I feel like the Griswalds arriving at Wally ...

Pros: Passionate vocals, great guitar work, catchy tunes - another great release by Weezer.
Cons: Sometimes lyrics feel a bit uncreative

There was just something that set Weezer apart from all other bands. Whether it was the band’s unabashed pride in their combined nerdiness; the boyish voice and appearance of frontman Rivers Cuomo; or their distinct, guitar-driver ...

Pros: Perfect Situation
Cons: Everything Else.

I'd like to think that Make Believe is the true moment where Weezer is considered a joke, but you have to keep in mind that they did a music video with the Muppets. Yes…the Muppets. I personally don't care that the band is a joke though, I ...

Pros: a few good tracks
Cons: mostly mediocre and horrible tracks, a bummer for Weezer fans

I hold Weezer dearly to me. It all started about 4 years ago, a time when I was both very young and very ignorant on the topic of music. It was when my favorite bands were both Sum 41 and Blink 182 that I discovered Weezer's self-titled Blue ...

Pros: Best "new" Weezer Cd.
Cons: Nowhere near as good as Pinkerton or the Blue album.

Weezer is one of the more interesting bands of the 1990’s/ new millennium. The nerdy looking rockers took the world, ok maybe not the world, by storm in 1994 with their self titled “blue album”. The album was good but it paved the way for ...

Pros: Vocally excellent, good guitar work, strong melodies, very emotional songwriting, some great guitar solos
Cons: Abnormally weak lyrics for Weezer, doesn't climax like it needs to

It's been a long time coming for another Weezer album. It's been 3 years since the release of Maladroit, which by all possible measures, was a failure. And it's probably a good thing that Weezer's taken a bit of a sabbatical, as they seemed to be ...

Pros: "Beverly Hills" is excellent, some other tunes are pretty good.
Cons: Awful songwriting, some bland music, "We Are All On Drugs" is horrible.

Have we come to expect too much from Weezer? Or too little? Perhaps more of the latter, considering the widespread frustration among fans with the group's moderately received recent efforts, hardly hailed as "comebacks" from Weezer's late 90's hiatus. ...

Pros: Emotional singing an improvement from two previous albums Great for listening in the car
Cons: Lacks grabbing hooks Middle of album blends together

Once again Weezer has given us something other then what we expected (and were told to expect). Make Believe is definitely not up to par with the mythical Blue Album and Pinkerton which are what got me so hooked on Weezer in the first place, but should ...

Pros: Contains some brilliant songs.
Cons: Not as punchy as previous albums.

I decided to review this album becuase many people have slated this album. Personally, i don't think it's too bad, thats why i'm going to express my thoughts on this album. This is Weezer's fifth album and has put them into stardom with the radio ...

Pros: The demeanor and balance between keen guitars and timid voice still set Weezer apart
Cons: River's Cuomo mind is also devoid of new ideas, it seems

Make Believe is something of a comeback album for Los Angeles band Weezer. After single 'Beverly Hills' hit number 1 on iTunes, the release has been given a healthy boost up the charts. In many ways, it's not drastically different to their other ...
