Weezer by Weezer
Weezer is an album by Weezer, released in 2016. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “King of the World”, on 7 lists with a best position of #16.
Weezer, the band's tenth album, arrived on April 1, 2016, and like the self-titled Blue Album before it, it goes by a color: this one is the White Album. It was their first album with Jake Sinclair producing and their first release through Crush Music, with Atlantic handling distribution.
Rivers Cuomo got strange with his craft this time, chopping lyrics up with a cut-up method and filing potential lines in a spreadsheet, then slotting them into songs like "Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori" and "L.A. Girlz" by how many syllables they had and where the stress fell. The songs chew on gender, modern dating and religious imagery, and the sound is pure sunburnt throwback: the crunch and heart of the Blue Album and Pinkerton, dressed up as a love letter to the Beach Boys. Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell and Scott Shriner sound like they're having a blast, and the album earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album.
