Title: Review from the Synthesis
Product review: After Maladroit, a majority of Weezer's core fanbase went AWOL. However, as with most bands whose heads swell with the vanities of rock stardom, Weezer have returned with a follow-up that is a distinct return to normalcy; or rather, a return to their revolutionary blueprint of soaring melodies and infectious pop hooks. "This Is Such a Pity" embraces the fleeting new-wave/pop-punk symbiosis, sated with longing lyrics and pulsing rhythms. "Pardon Me" emerges as Rivers Cuomo's attempt at reconciliation with all those he's wronged with the line "I know that I can be the meanest person in the world," leaping out like some treasured confession that's for your eyes only. Though Make Believe still deviates from past albums like Pinkerton, it's easy to tell that this is probably the group's most honest effort in years.- Ryan PradoSynthesis.net
