Weezer are back with their fifth album Make Believe. An album thats been
in the works for some time, being written whilst Rivers takes breaks from
college and being scrapped several times and started all over again. But
its finally here and its just what you would expect from Weezer.
The album starts with the simple but catchy first
single, 'Beverly Hills'. Each track sounds different
to the last but all feature catchy choruses; a few
tracks on we have the cheeky singalong of 'We Are
All On Drugs' which is a song about someone one
who's drugged up all the time and how life is for
them. It features one of the most memorable choruses
on the album.
Then we have .The Damage In Your Heart. which is
a song about letting go of all the pain and damage.
Its a really slow style song also with some of those
catchy lyrics Weezer do best.
The album's a real mixture with some funny songs,
serious songs and then we get really personal song
'Pardon Me' which has Rivers saying sorry for hurting
people; ‘So I apologize to you and to anyone
else that I hurt too’. Top stuff.
The album has two real standout tracks for me, which
are 'Freak Me Out' (the most mellow Weezer song
ever) but has you singing along from start to finish.
The other stand out track? 'This Is Such A Pity',
which has some awesome lyrics.
Make sure you pick up the special edition copy of this album which features
two bonus live tracks of previous Weezer songs.
Overall a great, catchy album that will have you singing a long to every
chorus. Why can't all "geek" bands be this good?
4/5
