Weezer by Weezer
Weezer is an album by Weezer, released in 2008. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 62 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Pork And Beans”, on 38 lists and voted number one twice.
Weezer, the band's sixth studio album and the one everybody calls the Red Album, came out on DGC and Interscope on June 3, 2008. Rick Rubin and Jacknife Lee split the production, and the band took the reins on a few tracks themselves. It's the only Weezer record where all four members, Rivers Cuomo, Brian Bell, Scott Shriner and Patrick Wilson, take a turn at lead vocals, and it's also their most restless: "Dreamin'", "The Angel and the One" and "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" swerve, sprawl and change costumes mid-song.
"Pork and Beans" became their third number one on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, and its video, which won a Grammy, was the most-watched clip on the internet the weekend after it went up. "Troublemaker" followed it as the second single. It sold less than Make Believe, but critics liked it more, and instead of a regular tour they promoted it with the unconventional Hootenanny Tour.
