Details: Product Description 2007 vinyl LP pressing of the debut album from the US Alterna-Popsters lead by River Cuomo. Originally released in 1994, Weezer features 'Undone (The Sweater Song)', 'Buddy Holly' and 'Say It Aint So'. Universal. Amazon.ca Blending the best aspects of pop, punk and grunge, Weezer's eponymous debut came as a much needed bit of relief to the too-serious American indie scene of 1994. Produced (and strongly influenced) by former frontman Ric Ocasek, Weezer blends churning, power -pop guitars with harmonies and the awkward lyrics of singer/songwriter Rivers Cuomo. On standout tracks such as "In The Garage" and "The World Has Turned And Left Me Here", Weezer introduced the wider world to the then-new concept of Geek Rock. However, it was "Buddy Holly"--and its corresponding Spike Jonze-directed video--that propelled this album into the charts. Unfortunately, this song also branded them as nothing more than another novelty act, an unfair fate for an album--and band-- that's since had so much influence. --Robert Burrow
