Weezer (Blue Album)

Weezer (known as the Blue Album) is the first studio album made by Weezer, an American rock band. It was released on May 10, 1994.
In November 1992, the band made a demo named "The Kitchen Tape". The demo was noticed by Geffen Records, a record label. The band joined the label to make the album. The label wanted them to have a producer instead of producing the album by themselves. Weezer chose Ric Ocasek, because they liked how he produced music for the Cars. The album was recorded from August to September 1993. Jason Cropper, the band's guitarist, was fired while they were making the album. He was replaced with Brian Bell.
"Weezer" had three singles: "Undone – The Sweater Song", "Buddy Holly", and "Say It Ain't So". The music videos for these songs were popular on MTV. The album reached number 16 on the "Billboard" 200, a record chart. It has been certified platinum by the RIAA. It is Weezer's best selling album. As of 2009, it has sold over 15 million copies. In 2020, "Rolling Stone" put it on a list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
