Description:

Weezer: Rivers Cuomo (vocals, guitar); Brian Bell (guitar, vocals); Matt Sharp (bass, vocals); Patrick Wilson (drums).
Engineers include: Jack Joseph Puig.
Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, New York, New York; Fort Apache Studios, Boston, Massachusetts; Rumbo Recorders, Canoga Park, California; Sound City and Hollywood Sound Recorders, Los Angeles, California in September 1995, January & June 1996.
After wooing teenage girls across America with its infectious debut record, Weezer appears to be getting more serious with this follow-up. PINKERTON still features immensely catchy tunes and the band`s trademark crunchy guitars, but Weezer is now exuding more mature emotions within its songs. The lads have eschewed their preppy bowl cuts for a more lanky style, and they`ve written songs about being jaded and depressed ("Tired Of Sex" and "Why Bother"). Their full guitar sound is no longer an innocent roar; there is a new, burning quality to it. But Weezer hasn`t completely deserted its sugary tendencies--"Falling For You" and "Across The Sea" (about a teenage fan in Japan) are songs to melt hearts with.
Personnel: Rivers Cuomo, Brian Bell (vocals, guitar); Matt Sharp (vocals); Patrick Wilson (drums).
Audio Mixer: Jack Joseph Puig.
