JeffSJun 17, 2005critics are scrutinizing this album way too hard. its the classic Weezer sound. And although its not as good as the Blue or Pinkerton, definately not as miserable as Malidroit...perhaps the bitterness of that album spilled over to the reviewing of this one.

AaronRJun 23, 2005Critics are wrong about this one. This is a great album with classic weezer all the way through. Just because Beverly Hills is a mainstream loser doesn't mean the rest is the same. check out This is a Pity and Haunt you everyday!

LaurenFJun 27, 2005Critics are stupid, thats why no one listens to them and they dont make any money. Rivers Cuomo on the other hand makes lots of money because he is a genius and speaks from the heart and thats why people listen to him instead. Every great band changes with every cd, If you like the blue album go buy that one instead.

marshallmDec 26, 2005it's pretty good, sometimes it felt a little sappy, like on "pardon me" and "my best friend" felt melodramatic and cheesy...but some of the songs really rock! rating: 8.3

Mar 1, 2019This album its not that bad , in fact is a good album at all. I know the album has a lack of cohesion and have a few tracks that are really bad.
But the best things of the album ends up having more weight altogether -

Jun 22, 2020A seriously under-appreciated weezer album. Fans simply hate this album because it was weezer's most mainstream.

-
Rolling StoneA breakthrough for Weezer... Cuomo's songs are his most plaintive and brilliant since Pinkerton. [19 May 2005, p.74]

Sometimes an album is just awful. Make Believe is one of those albums.
