Submitted By Weezer182

[Nate_RAWKS]

Definitely satisfied but not thrilled.

[splatoutofluck]

yeah, i think its good, but not great. i had high hopes. but there has been worse weezer albums.

[losingstreakca]

meh

[TheOtherAndrew]

Tis Ok.

[weezer182]

i think its their best album since pinkterton. i was very impressed when i listened. hold me gives me chills when i listen to it

[masonic]

3 songs in and i'm already thrilled

[atticusfinch]

Everything is great but that GOD AWFUL TRASH Beverly Hills.

What the hell, Rivers.

I probably won't buy this.

So fucking sue me.

[timmysavedlatin]

definitely better than green album and maladroit

[Kid Defender]

We are all on drugs is my favorite so far.

[youareallfreaks]

damn forward disabled. damn you.



also, check out all the negative comments on their myspace page. one dude signed it, "an ex fan."

[YCfan]

this cd is pretty good in my opinion..I agree with whoever said that about beverly hills..i always skip that one..I think my favs are "this is such a pity" "pardon me" "best friend" and "Freak Me out"...just my opinion

edit..i want to listen to the last track..because i have herd the first 30 secs or so..but that means i have to listen to every track before it since they disabled skipping tracks..whats up with that?? :huh:

[underoathfob55]

its average, i was looking for more on this cd.

[neo506]

We are all on drugs is my favorite so far.

"Give it to me!"

[Adeniz19]

hmmm never was a really big weezer fan but its good

[n8showoff]

thrilled. good mix of Weezer styles.

[youareallfreaks]

i'm wating for the scott and frank "conversation style" review of this album.

[saintjoel]

satisfied, i agree with the person before who said it is a good mix of weezer styles

[Fury15]

i love the new album, i don't like the second track so much though "this is such a pity" it's too eighties and electronic. i love my best friend, and freak me out. i've hated beverly hills since the first time i heard it. i hate it so much

[irthesteve]

im gonna wait till tuesday... cuz i like weezer and i dont wanna listen to it before it comes out...

[steve-0]

it met my expectations. and my expectations were that it would be pretty damn boring and bland. i was right

[tbag311]

I'm really not that impressed....I don't think i'm gonna get it now :(

[saintjoel]

you guys are ridiculous, i hate that kids think they can judge and album based on one stream while they are probably carrying on multiple IM conversations or doing several other things on their computers

[EveryNewDay]

i think this album is great. it definitely blows the Green Album and Maladroit out of the water for starters. also, if any Weezer fan likes Pinkerton, then you will not be disappointed by Make Believe. the songwriting is the best its been in a while, the guitar work is great and i bet these songs will sound awesome live.

[Coil]

Wait...this thread isn't about Fall Out Boy! Delete it!

[weezer182]

i bet these songs will sound awesome live.
they do. i was extremely impressed when they played their new songs

[Basketcase]

Make Believe is awesome. lots of styles all in one album. this is by far their best work since Pinkerton.

[ahnmin]

the only reason why weezer has been sucking as of late is because
they are sans matt sharp's falsetto vocals.

think about it. there is a falsetto-shaped void in all of the new weezer songs and it can only be filled with the wickedly awesome voice of matt sharp!

sharp and bell both did the falsetto vocals, buy the Space Twins cd, The End of Imagining.

[WSUskee]

I think I might actually get it now and I wasnt planning on it before the stream. I wish record labels would do this more often and see downloading the same way. I want to listen to something before I buy it if I like it I will buy it, its that simple.

yeah exactly...

I also like this CD and will most likely be purchasing it on the 10th. I really am liking this album more and more.

[MidniteVulture]

I'm actually holding off until Tuesday... I'm expecting it to be a good mix of all of the albums, leaning more toward the older days. I don't think it will be phenomenal, but I do think it will be a big step in the right direction.

just dont expect pinkerblue...cuz thats just a pipedream

[lyunya]

I think it's an amazing album, and river's vocals have never sounded better.

[Throwback]

My favorite is def. Perfect Situation but Pardon Me is great.

[fgevilmonkey]

Perfect Situation and This Is Such A Pity are the only two "outstanding" tracks on the album, IMO, but I like the album anyway. It's just not that memorable.

[yanggoh]

i'm so stoked about this album, perfect situation and hold me are two amazing songs. i'm seeing them TOMORROW, i can't wait

We know that's you, Matt. Give it up, your cover is blown!

Wait...this thread isn't about Fall Out Boy! Delete it!

Sshh! One slipped by, don't ruin it.

By far the smartest thing I've heard in a while. No sarcasam.

[TMBJon]

They probably titled the album as they did so that the fans could "make believe" that they never released the last two albums.

[GaryCondit]

I like it alot. It is way better than the last two albums and has some real gems on here (This Is Such A Pity sounds like the bastard love child of the Cars and The Rentals in my eyes).

I am looking forward to this. I was going to buy it anyway but now I am excited to rock this in my car for the summer.

[Rest_Easy]

it's a good cd. that is the best thing to say about it. The lyrics at times just make me cringe. They could have been better. The music however is pretty good. The album also has a good flow to it and some definate catchiness.
was hoping for better, got this, tis ok.

[SLADE775]

Ill tell you whats not a let-down ------ THE HIGHER!!!!! ;)

[thetunks]

i streamed it but now i'll definatly buy it, seems like they might have been experimenting with different sounds on green and maladroit and it turned into this cd. not a bad album at all, i could listen to the whole thing without skipping songs

[GaryCondit]

The lyrics for We Are All On Drugs made me cringe hardcore...those might be the worst Rivers lyrics ever and this is a man who wrote the line, "Crab at the booty, taint gonna do no good".

[screwtape]

i can't understand how people can critque an album after one listen. the best music is the one that you find decent at first and gets better after a few listens. give it a few listens. pinkerton was the same way. remember buying that album the week it was released and and thinking it was a blasphemous response to the holy blue album, and then three weeks later realizing how amazing it is? well, unless you were one of those fans who picked it up after hearing island in the sun and sung its praises before it even entered your cd player.

[Katie Schmitz]

There have been quite a few albums and bands that I couldn't stand and once I gave them a few listens, they grew on me. For some reason Coheed and Cambria was like that for me....when I first heard Claudio's voice I was like "what is this crap??!!". Then after a while it grew on me, and well, C&C are one of my fave bands! Odd how that works, huh?

[Basketcase]

sharp and bell both did the falsetto vocals, buy the Space Twins cd, The End of Imagining.
such a good album. both Weez side projects are good (Space Twins & Special Goodness).

[DroppedUrPocket]

With the first initial listens, I love it. That could change.

Because a lot of us have had the album now for a solid week and a half, so many people have had a chance to hear it over and over again.

[smallbutfeisty]

i think it's pretty good...i especially like "this is such a pity" and "perfect situation"

I think that a lot of people judge albums without spending enough time with them....

HAHAHAHA I love coheed, but yeah at first it was a little shocking. :animateds

MARIO FOREVER!

[thedood]

Really alot better than the single (Beverly Hills) demonstrates...

Secondly, Nate from Toronto-do you have any photos from recent Toronto shows that you would like to show off and share?

[LessThanTom]

honestly, i think this record is amazing. I really feel like they're in top form right now.

and saying a record isn't as good as pinkerton is like saying a book isn't as good as the bible. No shit. Now get over it.

[SteveLikesMusic]

Best album since pinkerton!

'Perfect Situation' 'Hold Me' and 'Haunt You...' are my favorites

[goddamngourd]

i like this a lot. not so much the single, but as a whole i like this cd a lot. of course, i also liked green, so apparently i have questionable taste?

[Nate_RAWKS]

you guys are ridiculous, i hate that kids think they can judge and album based on one stream while they are probably carrying on multiple IM conversations or doing several other things on their computers


haha no shit what's wrong with half of the worlds kids these days. I don't know about you but when i listen to music it's through headphones, most of the time and for best listening pleasure i just lay down and chill and listen to the pretty sounds....

This all depends on the type of music though. I'm not going to go listen to Underoath while trying to sleep or even relax. haha

I usually give a cd, especially a cd from a band i like, atleast 5-6 tries before i say ok this is just not for me or i'm down for this radical sound. Some of the people on this site won't even give the rest of the cd a listen because they don't like Beverly Hills. I enjoy Beverly Hills and i can just imagine how cool it will be live. After you go see them live and watch them perform Beverly Hills come back and tell me the song and the album still suck.

[weezer182]

i love hold me and haunt you every day the most but every song on the record is good. im glad rivers took his time on this cd

[TENCopeland]

i don't know how weezer fans don't like this cd. i was excited but worried about the new cd, and now i'm definitely going to buy it. i think a lot of people had already made up their minds it was going to be sub-pinkerton/blue album. it's cool to not like new weezer. *grant it im sure some people just dont like it, but im sure there are plenty who just wouldn't like it no matter what.

[Nate_RAWKS]

Really alot better than the single (Beverly Hills) demonstrates...

Secondly, Nate from Toronto-do you have any photos from recent Toronto shows that you would like to show off and share?


:( no dude i don't take band photography it's all Architectural and Landscape for me i wouldn't be allowed in any venue in Toronto with my camera anyways. Maybe some day i'll get into it but right know i'm concentrating on other things. If you ever want to see some of my other work let me know.


P.S. I'm also trying to get a web page done for me if anyone knows someone let me know... Something like this perhaps.

http://www.davidapuzzo.com/site.htm <----------------- plug for David haha

I know it's quite a bit of work so i will pay you in Canadian money..... haha :headshake

[Chemical Love]

Its alright. I dont have much more to say about it.

[Darren McLeod]

I enjoy the album. Once you get past Beverly Hills it's one of my favorite albums of the year.

[King Caesar]

it's weezer, so i've listened to it, and i like it
but the thrill factor is definitely lacking

[Cerpin Taxt]

This album, like the last 2, is a bit of a tough call. On one hand, there are aspects about it (including whole songs) that absolutely suck balls. On the other hand, it features moments that far surpass Green or Maladroit.

But lets get one thing straight: this is NOT a return to form. This album in no way resembles blue or pinkerton. Rivers' lyrics, while they may seem more personal, are really no less of a stand-in part of the music then on, say, Crab. Completely gone is the honest storytelling and witty vocal delivery of Weezer's younger years.

It's like alot of modern rock these days: completely without soul.

R.I.P. Old Weezer... it's with massive trepidation that I greet your sucessor.

[GlassyLight]

honestly, i think this record is amazing. I really feel like they're in top form right now.

and saying a record isn't as good as pinkerton is like saying a book isn't as good as the bible. No shit. Now get over it.


Give this man the prize, best line ever.

He's absolutely right. There's been almost TEN YEARS between pinkerton and make believe. If Rivers would STILL be writing about the almost illegal japanese girl that he yearned over, he'd either be mentally damaged for not being able to move on after such time or just trying to milk every last dime he could out of that subject. Either way it's not good.

My advice to those who are still bent out of shape about this (or any) new weezer is to take it for what it is: new weezer. They're not the same people they were all those years ago, therefore they're not going to write like they did then. If you don't like the album, point it out with reasons instead of referring to it as 'teh ghey' or some fourteen year old crap like that.

[innernorth]

I own the album. But I think it's their best pinkerton which wasn't terribly hard to do. The album is pretty awesome besides Beverly Hills. "This is Such a Pity" is amazing and I really like "The Other Way" it reminds me of a Kweller song.

--------------------------------------------------
listening to
Weezer - Make Believe
Wilco - Summertime
Ryan Adams - Cold Roses
Magnetic Fields - The Charm of the Highway Strip

You nailed it.

This album was written to be as unoffensive as possible- it's Rivers' way of making a safe bet that his diehard fans will accept the album by making a simple and straightforward album. Notice that there aren't any tracks where you say, WOW, there's something different! It's all designed to satiate your Weezer thirst without having to give you anything original or groundbreaking.

it cracks me up that so many people dont like beverly hills, it reminds me of "el scorcho"...a lot, which im sure every kid who posted in here would tell you they loved

[Nate_RAWKS]

Yeah Beverly Hills is just a fun song. People should definetly not disregard the whole album because they don't like one song. I'm listening to it right now an i'm dancing around in my chair i love that.

[weezer182]

it cracks me up that so many people dont like beverly hills, it reminds me of "el scorcho"...a lot, which im sure every kid who posted in here would tell you they loved
i love beverly hills i dont know why so many people hate it

[poppa Q]

just dont expect pinkerblue...cuz thats just a pipedream
Hahaha..

weezer182--

My friend got that shirt at the show in Chicago last night. Gold.

[DenverHarbor22]

A lot of people think the lyrics suck because everyone here is used to face value bullshit lyrics. Rivers actually writes stuff you need to think about. As cheesy as it is, even Beverly Hills is about his alienation of coming home. So lay off and give it another listen. I sure as hell cant wait until Tuesday.

You nailed it.

You're wrong. He did that on Maladroit. He posted all the demos for Maladroit and then got fan input and changed a lot of songs based on fan opinion. Hell a fan even named the album. So that please the Weezer fans is bullshit. Rivers made the album he and the rest of the band wanted to make.

[Chalie22]

Weezer did a great job with this album, I am satisified though every Weezer fan should know Matt Sharp was the brains behind the band and losing him really hurt them I think. Overall, their best since Pinkerton!

[SumDude1117]

Well done Weez. I enjoy it alot and i got a feeling its really gonna grow on me whenever I pick it up when it drops next week.

[saintjoel]

It's so funny how huge the bandwagon for hating the The Green Album and Maladroit is. I agree they're different than Pinkerton/Blue but people exaggerate their distaste for Green/Maladroit way too much. I guess I'm not a real Weezer fan if I enjoy those two CDs as well.

youre not the only one who likes those cds, i enjoy them a lot and almost as much as i like pinkerton, i dont think they are worse, they are just different. i really do think weezer is a band that experiments and takes risks, and in the end their collective body of work will show that

most of these kids only like pinkerton cuz theyre supposed to anyways, so its no surprize to me that they dont like the more recent weezer albums :headshake

[Pooavenger]

you can always download it.

[Spiffysthebest]

Whatever. It's not great. I'm not a huge Weezer fan, I loved Blue & Green actually. This one's got it's high points, but is too predictable & bland overall. I guess there's a reason I never really got into them.
