Weezer mp3

Weezer is a rock band from Los Angeles, California. The self-titled debut, Weezer, commonly referred to as the Blue Album, was released May 10, 1994. The album was produced by former Cars frontman Ric Ocasek and recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. The Blue Album is currently certified triple platinum in the United States, making it Weezer's all-time best seller. It is ranked 297 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums. It was re-released and repackaged in 2004 as a Deluxe Edition, which included a second disc of b-sides along with other previously unreleased rarities.

Weezer's sophomore album, Pinkerton, was released on September 24, 1996. Due to initial weak sales (it peaked at #19 in the U.S.), the album was, at first, viewed as a commercial failure, especially when viewed in light of the multi-platinum success of their debut album. The album failed to gain traction in the mainstream music world, perhaps due to a darker, more abrasive sound on the album. Eventually, the band went back into the studio to produce a third album. Weezer (2001) chose to repeat the self-titled name of their first release. This album quickly became known as The Green Album due to its distinctive bright green coloring. Shortly after the release of The Green Album, Weezer went on another American tour. They attracted a new generation of fans thanks to heavy MTV rotation for the videos of their hit singles "Hash Pipe" and "Island in the Sun."

The fourth album, Maladroit, was released on May 14, 2002. The album served as a harder-edged version of their trademark catchy pop-influenced music. Although met with generally positive critical reviews, its sales were not as strong as The Green Album, and it remains their worst-selling album to date. Two singles were released from the album. The "Dope Nose" music video featured a Japanese motorcycle gang, and was put into regular rotation. The music video for "Keep Fishin'" combined Weezer with The Muppets, and had heavy rotation on MTV. Both videos were directed by Marcos Siega.

From December 2003 to the fall of 2004, the members of Weezer recorded a large amount of material intended for a new album to be released in the spring of 2005 with producer Rick Rubin. The band's early recording efforts became available to the public through the band's website. The demos, entitled the Album Five Demos (or album 4.5), were a big hit with fans but only one song, "Hold Me," was included on the finished album. That album, entitled Make Believe, was released on May 10, 2005.
