{"title":"Weezer","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeezer\u003cspan\u003e is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1992. Since 2001, the band has consisted of \u003c\/span\u003eRivers Cuomo\u003cspan\u003e (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), \u003c\/span\u003ePatrick Wilson\u003cspan\u003e (drums, backing vocals), \u003c\/span\u003eBrian Bell\u003cspan\u003e (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), and \u003c\/span\u003eScott Shriner\u003cspan\u003e (bass guitar, keyboards, backing vocals). They have sold 10 million albums in the US and more than 35 million worldwide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter signing to Geffen Records in 1993, Weezer released their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, also known as the Blue Album, in May 1994. Backed by music videos for the singles \"Buddy Holly\", \"Undone – The Sweater Song\", and \"Say It Ain't So\", the Blue Album became a multiplatinum success. Weezer's second album, \u003ci\u003ePinkerton\u003c\/i\u003e (1996), featuring a darker, more abrasive sound, was a commercial failure and initially received mixed reviews, but achieved cult status and critical acclaim years later. Both the Blue Album and \u003ci\u003ePinkerton\u003c\/i\u003e are now frequently cited among the best albums of the 1990s. Following the tour for \u003ci\u003ePinkerton\u003c\/i\u003e, the founding bassist, Matt Sharp, left and Weezer went on hiatus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2001, Weezer returned with the Green Album with their new bassist, Mikey Welsh. With a more pop sound, and promoted by singles \"Hash Pipe\" and \"Island in the Sun\", it was a commercial success and received mostly positive reviews. After the Green Album tour, Welsh left for health reasons and was replaced by Shriner. Weezer's fourth album, \u003ci\u003eMaladroit\u003c\/i\u003e(2002), incorporated a hard-rock sound and achieved mostly positive reviews, but weaker sales. \u003ci\u003eMake Believe\u003c\/i\u003e (2005) received mixed reviews, but its single \"Beverly Hills\" became Weezer's first single to top the US Modern Rock Tracks chart and their first to reach the top ten on the \u003ci\u003eBillboard\u003c\/i\u003e Hot 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2008, Weezer released the Red Album; its lead single, \"Pork and Beans\", became the third Weezer song to top the Modern Rock Tracks chart, backed by a Grammy-winning music video. \u003ci\u003eRaditude\u003c\/i\u003e (2009) and \u003ci\u003eHurley\u003c\/i\u003e (2010) featuring more \"modern pop production\" and songs co-written with other artists, achieved further mixed reviews and moderate sales. \u003ci\u003eEverything Will Be Alright in the End\u003c\/i\u003e (2014) and the White Album (2016) returned to a rock style that was reminiscent of their 90s sound mixed with modern alternative production and achieved more positive reviews; \u003ci\u003ePacific Daydream\u003c\/i\u003e (2017) once again featured a more mainstream pop sound. In 2019, Weezer released an album of covers, the Teal Album, followed by the Black Album. In 2021, they released \u003ci\u003eOK Human\u003c\/i\u003e, which featured an orchestral pop sound and was met with critical acclaim, followed by the hard rock-inspired \u003ci\u003eVan Weezer\u003c\/i\u003e. In 2022, they released a series of EPs based around the four seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"weezer-weezer-blue-album","title":"Weezer (Blue Album)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeezer: Rivers Cuomo (vocals, guitar); Brian Bell (guitar, vocals); Matt Sharp (bass, vocals); Patrick Wilson (drums). Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, New York, New York in August and September 1993. All songs written or co-written by members of Weezer. Weezer: Rivers Cuomo, Brian Bell (vocals, guitar); Matt Sharp (vocals, bass); Patrick Wilson (drums). Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, New York, New York in August and September 1993. Includes liner notes by Todd Sullivan. There's a demented pop fanaticism to Weezer you gotta love. Weezer's debut, produced by former Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, combines Pixies roller-coaster guitar rides with a helping of Beatle-esque moptop harmonies. Ocasek's production and Weezer's strong material will bring a glimmer of recognition to the eyes of anyone who remembers the Cars' melodic pop hooks. Weezer's songs are groovy garage sales you wish happened every weekend. Songs like \"The World Turned And Left Me Here\" and \"Surf Wax America\" betray the heart of a kid who would rather skateboard to work every day than face up to the responsibility of buying a car. Rivers Cuomo's wit and songwriting chops are evident in \"In The Garage,\" where he sums up his generation's fascination with kitsch pop culture. Cuomo readily makes fun of Kiss posters and his own \"stupid words\" and \"stupid songs,\" but later, in \"Say It Ain't So,\" his self-mocking seems more like self-protection. After a decade of divorced parents, Cuomo comes to terms with a childhood he didn't want to give up. \"Dear Daddy I write you in spite of years of silence,\" he admits, begging him to \"Say It Ain't So.\" WEEZER breathes life into the bloated corpse of guitar rock. If they'd only stay little till their pop records wore out, maybe more bands would be as enjoyable as Weezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/28\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Sellers: Top Seller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Weezer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43723890786537,"sku":"LBEC87-B9HP-00","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Weezer-Weezer-Blue-Album_hBfIB.jpg?v=1741795745"},{"product_id":"weezer-weezer-black-album-indie-exclusive","title":"Weezer (Black Album) - Indie Exclusive","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrand New Sealed | Weezer | Black Album | Indie Exclusive | Vinyl | Release Date: 03\/01\/2019 | Record Label: Crush Music\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock and Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 3\/1\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Weezer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43723890819305,"sku":"10LMM3-OOVZ-00","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Weezer-Weezer-Black-Album-Indie-Exclusive_w9QOZ.jpg?v=1745444659"},{"product_id":"weezer-weezer-black-album","title":"Weezer (Black Album)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrand New Sealed | Weezer | Black Album | Vinyl | Release Date: 03\/01\/2019 | Record Label: Crush Music\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/01\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Weezer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43723890852073,"sku":"K635QV-D8AZ-00","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Weezer-Weezer-Black-Album_9m0Su.jpg?v=1740716892"},{"product_id":"weezer-weezer-black-album-1","title":"Weezer (Black Album)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeezer (Black Album) is a Music Cassette Tapes from Weezer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock and Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 03\/01\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Weezer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43723891179753,"sku":"IXA36V-NRX6-00","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Weezer-Weezer-Black-Album_CETRj.jpg?v=1740717024"},{"product_id":"weezer-van-weezer","title":"Van Weezer","description":"\u003cp\u003eVan Weezer is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from Weezer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 4\/2\/2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Weezer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43723891212521,"sku":"E7BPJM-AR62-00","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Weezer-Van-Weezer_DLMTF.jpg?v=1740726568"},{"product_id":"weezer-van-weezer-neon-magenta-vinylindie-exclusive","title":"Van Weezer (Neon Magenta Vinyl)(Indie Exclusive)","description":"\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd class=\"catalogtextlevel03\" colspan=\"3\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd class=\"catalogtextlevel03\" colspan=\"3\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVan Weezer, the band’s fifteenth studio album, is produced bySuzy Shinn(Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy).The inspiration for this album derives from the deepest roots of Weezer - metal! What has metal got to do with Weezer, you ask? In his earliest years, Rivers was a huge KISS fan; Brian was a big Black Sabbath fan; Pat worshipped at the altar of Van Halen and Rush; Scott loved Slayer and Metallica. The last time this vein of harder rock was mined by Weezer was on their much-loved 2002 albumMaladroit; Van Weezeris primed to take that album's sonics many steps further.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 05\/07\/2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Weezer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43723891245289,"sku":"UGWTDK-THN5-00","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Weezer-Van-Weezer-Neon-Magenta-VinylIndie-Exclusive_qZO2w.png?v=1758840748"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/collections\/image_64dca88c-80bf-46bb-ae48-9a63caef19f2.jpg?v=1707015729","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/collections\/weezer.oembed","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
