Make Believe
This article is about the Weezer album. For other uses, please see Make Believe (disambiguation). Make Believe is the fifth studio album by Weezer, released on May 102005, the eleventh anniversary of the release of The Blue 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 some critics and fans, though it has remained a consistent seller.
