Darkhorse is the second studio album by American rap rock band Crazy Town, released on November 12, 2002. [6] The album peaked at No. 120 on the Billboard 200 and No. 164 in the UK. It sold less than 13,000 units in its first week. [7]
Crazy Town stated they were not personally disappointed that the album did not sell as well as their last, The Gift of Game , considering they were moving the band in a new direction, away from the pop success they achieved with their number 1 song "Butterfly". [7] Crazy Town broke up several months after the album's release, citing amongst other things including pressure from their record company for a "Butterfly" follow-up. [8]
The second and final single, "Hurt You So Bad", features Rivers Cuomo from Weezer on the track's guitar solo. [9]

Maladroit is the fourth studio album by American rock band Weezer, released on May 14, 2002, by Geffen Records. Produced by the band, it was their first album to feature bassist Scott Shriner, following the departure of former bassist Mikey Welsh in 2001, although he was featured in some music videos for the Green Album songs. Musically, the album features heavy metal riffs uncommon to Weezer's previous releases.
Pinkerton is the second studio album by the American rock band Weezer, released on September 24, 1996, by DGC Records. After abandoning plans for a rock opera titled Songs from the Black Hole, Weezer recorded the album between lead vocalist and primary songwriter Rivers Cuomo's terms at Harvard University, where he wrote most of the album's songs. It is the last Weezer album to feature their full original lineup, with bassist Matt Sharp leaving the group in 1998.

Crazy Town is best known for their 2000 hit single "Butterfly", which reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and helped their debut album, The Gift of Game (1999), sell over 1.6 million units. Their follow-up album, Darkhorse (2002), failed to achieve the same level of success, contributing to the band's breakup in 2003.

Make Believe is the fifth studio album by American rock band Weezer. It was released on May 10, 2005, by Geffen Records. The album was considered to be a return to some of the emotionally vulnerable lyrics of Weezer's previous releases, and due to the strength of the hit single "Beverly Hills", the album was a commercial success, peaking at number two on the US Billboard 200 and number eleven on the UK Albums Chart. In addition, "Beverly Hills" also earned Weezer their first Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song. Despite this, Make Believe received mixed reviews from critics and fans, although it has remained a consistent seller. The recording process of Make Believe began prior to the release of their previous album, Maladroit; however, it was prolonged compared to the recording of most of Weezer's previous albums, and lasted for almost three years. Rivers Cuomo's songwriting on Make Believe was described as "[a] return to musical, emotional bloodletting", although the lyrics were noticeably simpler than before.
