"Only in Dreams" is one of the most universally loved Weezer songs amongst the die hard fans, and many consider it to be [[Rivers Cuomo]]'s masterpiece. At nearly eight minutes, it is currently the longest song by Weezer. It is most noteworthy for its three minute long crescendo of the two guitars, bass, and drums, in which the dynamics gradually increase and the timbre builds up layers until the climaxing guitar solo at the end. | "Only in Dreams" is one of the most universally loved Weezer songs amongst the die hard fans, and many consider it to be [[Rivers Cuomo]]'s masterpiece.

In 2002, | In 2002, Cuomo infamously stated on the [[Rivers Correspondence Board]] that "Only In Dreams" was "GAY GAY GAY DISNEY GAY!!!" He also remarked how his brother, [[Leaves]], was embarrassed by the song. Cuomo also claimed that he stole the bassline from another song and that he only put it on the album because he needed another song ("Only in Dreams" supposedly being the only song left). This has become controversial for many die-hard fans of Weezer because Rivers has stated that he had over one hundred songs before the making of ''[[The Blue Album]]''. It is, however, thought that Cuomo was joking with this statement. | ||
When asked in 2006 which Weezer guitar solo he is the most proud of/likes the most, Cuomo answered, "I'd have to go with 'Only in Dreams' and [''[[Make Believe]]'' track] '[[Haunt You Every Day]]' for sheer length. Epic, epic, epic. So few people play these kinds of solos anymore." | When asked in 2006 which Weezer guitar solo he is the most proud of/likes the most, Cuomo answered, "I'd have to go with 'Only in Dreams' and [''[[Make Believe]]'' track] '[[Haunt You Every Day]]' for sheer length.
