Blue Album: Vinyl LP

Few bands emerged as fully formed as Weezer, the Southern California band that would quickly shake the world with its reimagined vision of rock n roll. With 17 million albums sold worldwide, and two LPs on Rolling Stones list of most influential ever made, the L.A. quartet helmed by singer-guitarist Rivers Cuomo proved to be as popular as they are pioneering. Weezers music continues to shape the sound of rock to this day, well after the release of its first album, the triple-platinum Weezer (The Blue Album), one of rocks most auspicious debuts.

Geffen/UMG is reissuing Weezers first six albums on standard 180-gram vinyl on October 28. The quartets incredible run of Geffen Records releases 1994s Weezer (The Blue Album), 1996s Pinkerton, 2001s Weezer (The Green Album), 2002s Maladroit, 2005s Make Believe and 2008s Weezer (The Red Album) helped redefine the genre, mixing guitar hooks with a sense of geek-smart humor that radiated into the bands popular live act and multitude of cutting-edge videos and visuals.

Like all Weezer albums – including their critically-acclaimed newest, Weezer (The White Album), released this spring – the songs on these vinyl reissues truly speak for themselves; chances are, you already know quite a lot of them, from Maladroits Keep Fishin (whose video epically featured the band in an episode of The Muppet Show) to Weezer (The Red Album)s Pork and Beans to Make Believes Aughts-defining anthem Beverly Hills, and more. These vinyl reissues serve as a brilliant refresher course for the story of band who are still making an indelible mark on music today.
