I wish people would stop complaining about this album, like Weezer is "done for" and nothing is ever going to sound like Pinkerton or the blue album. But these whiners need to realize that nothing is ever going to sound like those albums again. If it did, it would suck because it would be like they were copying the same material. It's not that Make Believe is inferior to the blue album or Pinkerton, it's just different. It always has to be different. The next Weezer album will be different than this one.
Also, even if a Weezer album is labeled as "awful" by die-hard fans, it's still far better than the typical mainstream crap out there. Go to cdnow.com and see for yourself. Make Believe, Maladroit, and the green album all received 4 stars out of 5. That's not bad, in my opinion.
As for this song, I like it. Are the lyrics pretty ordinary? Yeah, I would say so. But it's the most rocking song on here, and it's got some great guitar work. It's definitely not bad enough that you should skip it.
