First guy looks like Aragorn.

Jesus, Rivers really need to get rid of that mustache.

As an old school Weezer fan, this single has me really excited of the possibility that they're getting back to a more Blue Album/Pinkerton vibe. Make Believe made a few steps in the right direction, but hopefully this one will stick it.

That video is vomit inducingly horrible. Guess it is kind of funny to see a Toaplan game in a pop video.

The song is pretty dross too. Weezer easily peaked with the Green Album, but everything they've done since has been pretty crap. Maladroit had some fun bits on it, but it was a huge dissapointment.

Yes, yes he does.

I'm just hoping the album isn't another "Mak Believe". Green was shallow but fun, and I understood where Maladroit was coming from, but Make Believe made me sick. There was some good stuff in there, but I couldn't stand to look at it.

I like his mustache, he looks goofy.

He's dumb for buying into Chris Crocker's pity party though.

To me, Green Album was so shallow it took out most of the fun for me. Every song seemed to follow a very rigid "Verse, Chorus, verse, Chorus, solo that sounds like Chorus, Verse, Chorus" archetype that made most of the album feel constructed as opposed to being recorded. Almost all the songs that weren't singles just kind of flowed together in a pile of "Meh" in terms of songwriting and execution.

Make Believe had well done guitar solos and a return (albeit very short) of the harmonica. Two very good things in my opinion.

They should have hung it up after Pinkerton.

Pinkerton, I choose you!
