<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Since forming in 1992,
<b>Weezer</b> has released a myriad of celebrated, chart-topping albums, selling over 13 million records worldwide. Following an intensely prolific couple years at the end of the aughts, the band chose to deliberately dial down the tempo in 2010, a move singer/guitarist
<b>Rivers Cuomo</b> says allowed him to write at a slower pace, giving the songs he wanted to use for an album the time to gradually grow into their final forms. When it came time to record the material,
<b>Weezer</b> reunited with the man who helped them make some of their most iconic album-length work, Cars frontman
<b>Ric Ocasek</b>. The resulting album is a stand-out gem in <b>Weezer’s</b> vast and varied catalogue, a reflection of a much-loved band at their very best.
