Said drummer Pat Wilson, "“He didn’t believe in the music, because he didn’t believe in himself Didn’t matter how many times we said, ‘That’s rad, Dude.’ There were times he was physically ill coming out of the studio." Rubin, wanting to help Cuomo, gave him a copy of The Gift, a book of poems by the fourteenth-century Sufi poet Hafez. According to an article with Rolling Stone, however, Cuomo wasn't pleased with the music he was making.
Some songs that eventually appeared on Make Believe, including " Perfect Situation" and " Hold Me", were demoed as a band for the first time. From September of 2002 through May of 2003, the band recorded new songs at S.I.R. Ultimately, though none of the songs from these sessions would appear on the final album, some song elements were re-appropriated into new songs that would appear on Make Believe.įollowing the summer of 2002, producer Rick Rubin agreed to work with the band on their next album. These sessions also featured, for the first time, songs primarily written and sung by band members other than Cuomo. But really it's a new different style." A number of these songs, including " The Organ Player" and " Running Man", featured a shift to third-person storytelling. In an AIM chat with Rivers Cuomo on January 8, 2002, Cuomo described the sound of Weezer's fifth album as "a combination of The Green Album and Pinkerton, if that's possible! And some Maladroit. Songwriting for the band's fifth album began before Maladroit had even been released, with demos being recorded as early as March of 2002. Despite this, the album has received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. 's Stephen Thomas Erlewine described the song as a "return to musical, emotional bloodletting", adding "It may be a spiritual cousin to Pinkerton, yet it's far removed from the raw, nervy immediacy of that album." The album was a commercial success, with "Beverly Hills" and "Perfect Situation" ranking as among the band's most popular singles to date. The album arrived three years after the band's previous album, Maladroit. Make Believe is Weezer’s fifth studio album, released on May 10, 2005. December 2003 – February 2005, at Cello Studios, Grandmaster Recorders, Henson Studios, and Rick Rubin's home studio, Los Angeles
