Weezer

Make Believe

I honestly wonder what Weezer fans felt like in 2005. After two classics and two more mediocre albums, Weezer finally hits their first true speedbump. But, honestly, after the disgust of Beverly Hills had washed off in the next few-ish tracks, I thought this might be another Green album, something that isn't bad, just mindlessly dull. And then "We Are All on Drugs" comes on and... yeah. This album tosses out the tiniest bit of lyrical intelligence that the previous two albums had, and ... read more

Mediocre

i never want to listen to this album again. it was boring and uninspired and just didnt match up to what was in weezer's previous discography. the intrumentals were repetitive and tedious, and at least three of the hooks consisted of "oh oh oh oooooohhh oh oh" and no real words. nothing was new, and the only song i could go back to is beverly hills, and even that makes me cringe.
least fav tracks: this is such a pity, we are all on drugs, my best friend
