Title: Smells Like Fish
Review: So after reading some of these reviews, I honestly can't see what people see (hear) in this album. Yes, the Blue Album and Pinkerton were incredible. The Green album was listenable. Maladroit--eh. Make Believe: a piece of dung, trampled on by a herd of elephants and then lit on fire. Yes, I think it's that bad. You'd think someone like Rick Rubin could do something with this. Who knows who's fault it is. But, this album in NO WAY "evolves" Weezer. I'm reading reviews of people saying we (old school Weezer listeners) can't accept that Weezer is "all grown up" now. No. This is definitely more immature than anything they have put out. Even the witty sarcastic lyrics are lost. Unless the sarcasm is so buried, it's not sarcasm anymore.The only exception is if their only goal is that each track they write for this album will make the next Reese Witherspoon romantic comedy movie of the girl who became a woman and persevered all the odds. Well then mission accomplished, Weezer.
Is the review positive or negative?
