    Pros: Every song is catchy and good

    Cons: Lyrics could have been better

    This is a great cd, Weezer had done its thing. Beverly Hills: This song is a great Beginning to the cd. cause you know beverly hills is where i want to be. Perect Situation: O man the guitar in the beginning is awesome, Rivers voice has gotten so m...uch better. I like the o's. This is such a Pity: The best song on this cd, a retro style sounding soung with very catchy lyrics. I also like how Rivers sounds like he's in agony and puts meaning into the song. Hold me: very slow song, but still good. Peace: nice guitar riff and still weezerish. We are all on drugs: The cd speeds up again, I love the guitar intro. he could have used better lyrics though. The damage in your heart: I love how he sings this even though it sounds a bit like green. Its like he put every cd into one in this song. Pardon Me: a song in which he is sorry about eveything. an ok song. My Best Friend: Uses a guitar riff like why bother, a very sweet song. The other way: This is also one of the best songs on this cd. I love the acoustic guitar that goes off and the very catchy tune. Freak me out: Rivers shows off his skills at singing. Barely any guitar playing but such a catchy tune. Man you really freak me out. Haunt You Every day: This song is so awesome. Rivers sounds like he is in so much agony he cant bare to hold it in. The solo and the outro are so awesome. The best way to finish the cd. A great Cd by Weezer Read more Less

    Pros: Man this SUCH agreat BAND TO listen to! I MEAN it!

    Cons: HAve you ever wish a CD has ears so you can tell it, "JUST KEEP PLAYING!" and it would lisen to you! It's THAT GOOD!

    HEEYYY WAZ UP Hey whats up, is what that means. And I'll will tell you:WEEZER that is what (who) is what's up! UP on the charts of besst selling compack t disc, UP in terms of Man this is song sure is running through my head AGAIN!", UP ...in terms of sounding very AWAKE through out the whole compack t disc, like Let's roll the tape, this song is great! ANYWAY's. If you recall the first time ever that you have seen WEEXER perform a music video you were if you were anything likei was you were like MAN, REWIND THAT THING WHO WAS THAT? I WANT MY MTV! And. etc. SO theyre all here folks all the CLASSICS hits they WEEZER perfrom so greatly. Listen to and enjoy THE GRAHAM JARVIS EXPERIENCE, NO EGGS? NO PROBLEM!, GROOVY KIND OF TACO, CALIFORNIA RABIES, and the funniest song about a girl that is totall new wave (in a good way!) and works in a ice cream place called STRETCH PANTS DONNA. You will say. "I wish I have WEEZERS emails addres to say THANKS to the best! band" Read more Less

    Worst Album Ever

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 19, 2005 | 4 out of 6 found this Make Believe review helpful

    Pros: None at all

    Cons: Tracks 1 through 12

    This album really does sound like Rivers took all the "Hit" Weezer songs, mushed them all up into a ball and spat them back out twelve times. "Best Friend" sounds like it should be the title song for the Shrek 3 soundtrack, it'...;s like if Smashmouth had talent. Almost all of the other songs follow the 'Green Album' formula...eight or sixteen bar intos with rising symbols and then a standard verse chorus verse solo chorus of the sappiest, watered down, hodgepodge of recylced garbage. There are no chances taken on this album. There is no ground broken on this album. I don't know what happened to Weezer but I want my money back. Read more Less

    Pros: Everything!

    Cons: not enough stuff

    This cd is hands-down the best of weezer's cd's so far. From great lyrics and tunes to even better guitar solos, these songs will have you rockin' all night long. The entire band has stepped up the quality of the music and lyrics. All pro...s and no cons, this cd is definitely worth the money. I highly advise that you buy it as soon as possible.

    Pros: It's catchy and a good listen.

    Cons: It's catchy and a good listen...and that's about it.

    Make Believe is an enjoyable listen, but it doesn't bring much else to the table. I feel like Rivers has decided that regardless of how well loved Pinkerton was by Weezer fans, myself included, he's never going to make such an open album aga...in. Now what we get is the muscial equivalent to Hemingway deciding to write news letters; sure he'll do a good job, but you can't help but feel there is something better he could be doing. Rivers knows he can make a good pop album without taking any real risks, and he seems frustratingly happy with that. Read more Less

    Not Their Best Effort.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 15, 2005 | 2 out of 2 found this Make Believe review helpful

    Pros: Easy to listen to.

    Cons: Mother goose lyrics, predictable melodies.

    Yes it doesnt make much sense that I gave this a five despite the lack of 3 syllable words on this album, but Rivers still manages to bring across his feelings even if they aren't terribly profound. It ranks 3 on my list of weezer albums, before ...maladroit and green. Diehard fans probably wont like it, but it brightens your day listenting to their poptastic sounds. Read more Less

    Pros: it's weezer

    Cons: it's not up to par

    this cd is weezer definitely in it's entirety. it is very much their style and yet fails to fufill the expectations i had set forth. beverly hill, cuomo is rapping, rapping, i do not like my weezer rapping. the lyrics are ridiculus, he is singin...g about how he wants to be a celebrity, but he is a celebrity. the song does have a certian catchy beat that most people seem to enjoy.cuomo has threatened fans with a rap song and he has carried out that threat. perfect situation, perfect weezer, the guitar in this song is amazing although very familiar, it sounds almost the same in the beginning, as simple pages, from the green album. the lyrics are also well written i think and this is the best song on this cd. this is such a pity, this song is just meant to sound like a 80's throwback. they are riding a fad. come on guys, you don't need to do that, you're weezer. hold me, you either love this song, or you hate it. i love it. the other way, good nothing special. the damage in your heart, midtempo and heart wrenching lyrics, good, but not an upper. pardon me, exellent. best friend, hokey. we are all on drugs, funny as hell, i relate this to hash pipe. freak me out, crappy. haunt you everyday, a strong ending. i know that i left one song out, it didn't make a strong enough impression to even mention it. of my high expectations of weezer, this cd falls short a mile, but go buy any of the other 4 and then buy this, you'll see what i mean.

    Pros: It's nice, decent guitar and such

    Cons: Lyrics are kinda lame...

    I love Weezer, but this isn't their best album. It's good, but not fantastic. Beverly Hills is pretty catchy and the guitar solo is pretty cool, but not a fantastic song. The lyrics in parts of the song are Cake-like, almost silly.
