Weezer (The White Album)

Weezer have a habit of naming their album Weezer. Out of their ten studio albums, they’ve done this four times, hence this is alternatively titled The White Album.

It was highly anticipated, and didn’t disappoint, with the singles “Thank God For Girls,” “Do You Wanna Get High?” and “King Of The World” propelling the album to number 4 in the US. It sold 49k first week.

The album was positioned as a “beach record,” and lead man Rivers Cuomo said much of the lyrics refer to his life living in Los Angeles, and spending time on the beach.

Like the other eponymous Weezer albums, the White Album is also 10 tracks long.
