加强型影音CD:收录团员畅谈录制专辑过程感想与"Beverly Hills"音乐录像带片段
90年代一组组地下之声,冲破音乐防界跨越流行区块,不管是Grunge抑或Punk乐,在那个风云变色的年代中,兴起一阵阵的波涛骇浪,瞬时摇滚界多出令人鼓动不已的震撼声浪。Weezer,初出道便在这股交替风潮中获得备受推崇的回响,更曾跌破眼镜的莅临台湾开唱一展身手,有幸亲身体会的乐迷们,绝对难忘那晚原始地下摇滚复兴之始的感动!
团中的灵魂支柱也是传统摇滚与金属乐之爱好者Rivers Cuomo,在他求学时期,跟一般年轻摇滚客相同的组织乐团,尽情发挥对于音乐的爱好及狂热。大学时期的Rivers开始迷恋于庞克乐,1993年伙同贝斯手Matt Sharp与鼓手Patrick Wilson正式成立Weezer,与一干想要出头的新进乐团,在竞争激烈的L.A.当地Club中演唱,很快的被Nirvana所属唱片公司DGC赏识招揽旗下,在准备进行首张专辑录制前,加入第四名吉他手新成员Brain Bell。1994年由前Cars/汽车合唱团主脑Ric Ocasek所主导的同名处女秀,果然不负众望的博得满堂彩,滚石四星评价、AMG五星满分评价,空降热门潜力榜冠军+流行专辑榜TOP4,推入多白金的销售佳绩,是继唱片公司捧红Nirvana之后,又一位居国际摇滚舞台的重量级耀眼新贵!接着推出的『Pinkerton』(1996)、『Weezer』(2001)与『Maladroit』(2002)等三张专辑,虽然前期Rivers曾回哈佛继续深造完成学业,但还是在每一次的出击中,都加入情绪起伏颇大的新意概念;丰富的音乐架构建筑在Rivers才气过人的创作天赋上,纷纷夺得百万销售的保证下,Weezer俨然成为新世代摇滚乐迷的代言人之一,与电动马达瑞奇马汀、小甜甜布兰妮争奇斗艳的为百事可乐担任代言!
三年的等待,第五张专辑【Make Believe】终告问世,虽然相隔如此久的时间,但是Weezer早已在『Maladroit』推出后没多久,做好此张专辑的酝酿录音工作,但是先前的录制过程并不顺利,虽然已经写下20余首歌曲,但是全被推翻弃置,直到2004年中,团员们才找回默契与灵感,重新为专辑规划新的声线。首支快速飞奔全美现代摇滚榜前四强之列、邀请百位粉丝与一堆超养眼美眉在Playboy Mansion拍摄MTV之首波强势单曲"Beverly Hills",充满流畅愉悦的声线,恢复早期的活跃律动,也不失幽默诙谐的歌词之组合,无怪乎滚石杂志早已赞誉此曲为Weezer超优的流行佳作;依然讨喜的"Perfect Situation",利落畅意的吉他划出属于Weezer最平易近人的摇滚表现;反透着80年代流行摇滚音韵的"This Is Such A Pity",跟时下流行的复古庞克风潮相比,更有着值得你去玩味的曼妙旋律;欢乐满分的流畅庞克曲"My Best Friend",再次鼓噪起手舞足蹈的同欢气氛;"The Damage In Your Heart"、"Freak Me Out"等不容错过的优质小品,都一一证明了专业摇滚杂志AP所言:【Make Believe】将是他们音乐事业中最为重要的专辑!
Make Believe is the fifth studio album by Weezer, released on May 10, 2005, the eleventh anniversary of the release of their debut album. Bolstered by the Top 10 hit single "Beverly Hills", it gave Weezer their biggest chart album peak yet, hitting #11 in the UK, #1 in Canada, and #2 in the U.S., where it went gold quickly, and eventually platinum. The song also earned the band their first Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song. Despite this, Make Believe has received mixed reviews from critics and fans, though it has remained a consistent seller.
As of December 2007, Make Believe has sold 1,215,000 units in the U.S. alone.[1] It reached number two, the band's highest peak to date.
Make Believe features the band's first two songs to top the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, the aforementioned "Beverly Hills" and "Perfect Situation."
