Disco de Weezer: “Beverly Hills Pt.1 [Single]”

It would get more of a 4.5/5

The first single for make believe is well written and has a wonderful chorus. I would give this song more like a 4.5/5. After beverly hills comes is what i think is the best performance of island in the sun. even better than than the live song on the lion and the witch ep. I would give the live b side a 5/5. it's simply the highlight of the single. Then comes Butterfly live, the song has a very cool intro with Rivers Cuomo talking. This song is also a very good performance given by weezer. I'd give it a 4.5/5. And for the enhanced bonus video comes beverly hills. Personally I love this video and it would rank with such classic videos such as Buddy Holly and Keep Fishin. The video would get a 5/5. Overall, this single is great and I think you will enjoy the great feautures of it.

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. One of the most surprising acts these past few years is definitely Weezer. 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+

I've been listening to Weezer and loved them since they first came out. 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 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.

Beverly Hills is satirical. It is brilliant because nobody notices except smart people like me. Their best song in years. Too Bad the album is o good.

I'll admit, Beverly Hills isn't the greatest of songs, but it makes the perfect first single to get the band up and running again after almost three years of silence. Currently gathering support on MTV, iTunes, and other music locales, Beverly Hills will be this summer's teen anthem.
