Title: Tell me it was all a dream
Review: Angst when you're over 30 years old isn't cool, it's pitiful. Grow the f*ck up.This album lacks any punch and those moments when it comes close fade away once an insipid lyric is attached. "We Are All On Drugs" is not tongue-in-cheek, is not ironic and borders on an earnestness that's almost Mormon--meaning, it's a lame tune. The rhyme scheme along pisses me off. The radio track "Beverly Hills" is non-threatening and sing-along (file "The Damage in Your Heart" here as well). "Perfect Situation" opens as a Weezer tune that sounds like it's a third-rate rip-off of a Weezer tune. And the 'ballad' tracks reek of psuedo-sentiment, like some Oprahish memoir.Is this what Weezer aspires to? It's just not what you want to hear from these guys. Make Believe sounds like a soundtrack album to a Kristin Dunst movie or a WB teen-drama, if you're into that love this album up.
