Editorial Reviews

First single lifted from their 2005 album, 'Make Believe'. The album version of the title track is b/w two live tracks, 'Island in the Sun' and 'Buttefly'. Also included is the enhanced music video to the title track. With each new release since their 1994 debut, Weezer have sharpened their wicked edge and raised the bar in alternative pop - and new single 'Beverly Hills' is another spikey slice of what the band do best. This track is a rousing future classic and no Weezer single would be complete without a witty and wacky video. Remember The Muppets, the Fonz and those Sumo Wrestlers? The new video was shot at the Playboy mansion and guest stars the man himself - Hugh Hefner. Universal. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!, September 10, 2005

This CD is really two items in one. When played on your CD player (or my DVD player) you get to listen to three great Weezer tunes - Beverly Hills, and live versions of Island in the Sun and Butterfly. Beverly Hills is a tune my fourteen-year-old daughter and I both agree on, it's great. I also loved Butterfly. I've not heard it on the radio, but it is also a great tune.

Next, when you pop this disc into your computer, it's got a QuickTime movie of the video of Beverly Hills, with the boys of Weezer performing at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion. On the downside, I could not figure out how to listen to the three tracks listed above on my computer, just the video. That kind of stinks.

Anyway, my daughter is glad to have this disc, and I am glad as well. We both highly recommend this disc to you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great single, but even better b sides, May 16, 2005

By

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta Love This Single, May 19, 2005

Beverly Hills is a great single, which totally makes this worth buying. Not only is Beverly Hills a great song, but the two live tracks (Island In The Sun and Butterfly) are sweet as well. They are quite a bit different from the album versions and are truly "must-have's" for any weezer fan. If you are looking at getting this single I would also be sure to check out their album "Make Believe". It's got more of that great Beverly Hills action, and (in this writer's opinion) has some songs that are even better! Be sure to check it out cause weezer is back, and better than ever!
