Van Weezer by Weezer
Van Weezer is an album by Weezer, released in 2021. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Hero”, on 10 lists with a best position of #6.
Van Weezer finally landed on May 7, 2021, via Crush Music and Atlantic, a full year after it was supposed to. Weezer had announced it back in September 2019 alongside the Hella Mega Tour with Green Day and Fall Out Boy, and when the COVID-19 pandemic shut the world down, the record sat on the shelf. By the time it came out, OK Human and its orchestral pop had beaten it to stores by almost four months.
The two couldn't be further apart. This one is Rivers Cuomo, Brian Bell, Scott Shriner and Patrick Wilson cranking the amps and playing dress-up in classic hard rock: big arena choruses, glammy riffs and a power-pop sweet tooth under all the flash, as the singles "The End of the Game", "Hero", "Beginning of the End" and "I Need Some of That" made plain. Reviews were mostly warm, and it debuted at 11 on the Billboard 200.
