Weezer – Make Believe LP Supply
Description
Following four acclaimed albums filled with power-pop, Weezer swang for the fences on 2005 s Make Believe. Expanding their ambitions, arrangements, and diversity, and helmed by mega-producer Rick Rubin, the album ranks as the band s most diverse and balanced effort. It s also the group s longest set distinguished by more personal lyrics inspired by leader Rivers Cuomo s meditation sessions. Anchored by four radio-charting singles, and streaked with cautious optimism, Make Believe remains a compelling intersection of sleek, new wave and big, meaty arena-rock bluster.
Opening with the chant-a-long anthem Beverly Hills,  Make Believe takes amusing aim at haute-couture culture and fickle materialism here and on the farcical We Are All On Drugs, each song informed by Cuomo s observations while living in California. Silly, witty, quirky – it s requisite Weezer, and uses a sense of humor to counteract the more serious sides of the album.Â
Make Believe represents both a musical and emotional evolution, wherein Weezer embraces different styles (new wave, harder-edged rock, irony-free ballads) and hints at sincere hopefulness. Two of the effort s biggest singles ( This Is Such a Pity, Perfect Situation ) breathe with an endearing sympathy that steers clear of cynicism or sarcasm. Undercurrents of self-analysis, apology, and resolution run throughout the material and affirm a maturation that nevertheless avoids sacrificing Weezer s hallmark hooks and melodies.
