Rolling StoneA breakthrough for Weezer... Cuomo's songs are his most plaintive and brilliant since Pinkerton. [19 May 2005, p.74]
-
Q MagazineHints that Cuomo may be approaching some sort of personal epiphany about his place in the world. [Jun 2005, p.116]
-
FilterThe thread that made Weezer everyone's favorite nerd-rock quartet--the soul and core behind the dramatic guitar crescendos--has unraveled completely, leaving us with a record full of, well, a lot of dramatic guitar crescendos. [#16, p.87]
-
MojoAnother patchily edifying addition to the Cuomo enigma. [Jul 2005, p.106]
-
Many of these songs are thin schematics for “perfect” pop songs. They’re impressive in their commitment to formula--deploying catchy, whiny hooks, taut structure, loud-soft interplay, and well-timed guitar peals. Yet for all their nakedness, they offer little in the way of revelation.
-
Make Believe seems so simple compared to [Weezer's] other albums.
-
Sometimes an album is just awful. Make Believe is one of those albums.
