Celebrating 30 Years of Pinkerton!
Two years after the triple-platinum success of their 1994 debut album, Weezer made a bold hard right with Pinkerton, the story of what frontman Rivers Cuomo called “two very weird years” of his life. The lyrics, lifted directly from Cuomo’s journals and dissecting confessional tales of lust, intimacy and loneliness, explore what he called his “dark side – all the parts of myself that I was either afraid or embarrassed to think about before.”
Yet musically, it remains some of the group’s most adventurous work. “What you get,” Rolling Stone wrote upon its release, “is true to the sun-‘n’-fun aesthetic of great jangly pop ... Weezer have got the sound and attitude of early-’60s Los Angeles down. Melodies bounce with vigor.”
Pressed on a 2LP 180G Black Vinyl with a Matte finish gatefold, this IVC exclusive features 11 Bonus B-Sides and more. It comes with a lyric sheet insert, bonus collectible Pinkerton stationery featuring lyric quotes and is limited to 3,000 copies.
