Customer Reviews Get Weezer I was a bit dissappointed when I heard the first single "Beverly Hills" off their new album until it was made blatantly clear (by listening to the lyrics and reading a number of Cuomo's interviews) that the song is a satire for how Cuomo has always felt he doesn't fit in with the Hollywood crowd. I've been listening to Weezer and loved them since they first came out. I guess you have to be a long time Weezer fan to understand something of the guy. They definetely have not sold out. I gave it four stars because of "butterfly," that's my least favorite Weezer song and it was not improved in this CD. "Island In the Sun" it's a lot of fun and sounds great live. It's worth the purchase. Geek Rock One of the most surprising acts these past few years is definitely Weezer. There haven't really been many acts these past few years that really have been more about image than the feeling or uniqueness of great pop music. They have really brought up a great deal with the feel of geek rock, and their latest single really does connect with everybody. Their latest track Beverly Hills is a great pop song. It is very upbeat and easily catchy. I like this song because it is very different and very vivid. Rivers Cuomo and company have really got a lot into good music right now. Hopefully, they can keep it up with their next single. Song: B 1/2+ . weak i like weezer. dont get me wrong. i've liked them for a long time since their debut cd. i just found this to be a bit annoying. they're just giving into this image that all these other losers are grouped into and its sad to see that happen. the single is weak. the lyrics are pathetic. anyone could write lyrics as boring as that. sounds like he made it up while he was playing it. it's like "The Joker" meets "We Will Rock You". like a lame attempt at making an anthem for rich people. we dont need that from weezer. let the other mainstream pop idiots do that. hopefully this is just a fad and it will blow over. the live tracks are ok i guess and the video, but forget the single. yeah, its catchy, but its just not weezer material. 3 chords? thats all they're giving to us? come on. they could do better than that. i could write that. my dog could. but im not giving up on them yet. .
