Product Description:
Released September 24, 1996, Pinkerton is Weezer’s second studio album. Named after B.F. Pinkerton of the opera “Madama Butterfly,” the album had a harsher sound than their original Blue Album. In order to achieve this sound, Weezer chose not to have a producer work with them. This new sound, however, created a cult-like status and became a part of the “emo culture.” This is in part due to the fact that the songs were written during a dark time in frontman Rivers Cuomo’s life, and were meant to have a “more visceral and exposed” sound. A 1996 interview reveals that the songs are in fact chronological with two minor exceptions.
From the same interview, on the recording process:
I decided not to make any demos and instead just to write the basic melodies and chord changes without orchestrating everyone’s parts at all. So we went into the studio without really knowing what was going to happen. And it gave everyone a lot more room to be creative and spontaneous on their instruments.
Originally, Pinkerton was intended to be a much different album. The original project was titled Songs From the Black Hole, and was intended to be a space-themed rock opera. However, after much composing and recording, the project was scrapped. The remains became what is now Pinkerton.
As for critical reception, the album did quite well, though not as well as their first. Pinkerton peaked at #19 on the U.S. Billboard charts, and is also #53 on Spin’s “Top 100 Albums of the 1990’s” list.
