Weezer by Weezer
Weezer is an album by Weezer, released in 2019. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 20 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Africa”, on 14 lists with a best position of #4.
Weezer, better known as the Teal Album, dropped out of nowhere in January 2019, announced and released digitally on the same day, with a retail release following on March 8. The band's twelfth studio album and their first made up entirely of covers, it leans hard on the '80s, and Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell and Scott Shriner play it straight, polished and gleefully on the nose, with Mark Rankin co-producing alongside the band.
It was a warm-up act, too: a surprise curtain-raiser for the Black Album, which followed on March 1. Critics split down the middle, some charmed by the knowing silliness of the whole exercise and others unimpressed by the arrangements. Either way, "Africa" and "Can't Knock the Hustle" catch a band having a very good time.
