You're not referring to my signature, are you?
I haven't bought their second album, but their debut rocked when it was released.

I will. I have to! It's Weezer.
Thing is, I've heard better melodies and better songs than on Green (cute, but formulaic) and Maladroit (just not good) even by bands that have obviously grown up on Weezer. Ozma/The Stereo come to mind.. though they are no more. I'm glad to hear, that Make Believe is more like Blue than Maladroit.

Where I come from isn't all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little whack
And my friends are just as screwy as me
I didn't go to boarding schools
Preppy girls never looked at me
Why should they I ain't nobody
Got nothing in my pocket
[Chorus]
Beverly Hills - That's where I want to be! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...
Beverly Hills - Rolling like a celebrity! (Gimme Gimme)
Living in Beverly Hills...
