Weezer's Pinkerton is the rare album that went from punchline to cult classic, and here it is on CD, the band's raw, confessional 1996 follow-up to the Blue Album.
Rivers Cuomo wrote much of it while studying at Harvard and recovering from leg surgery, and the loneliness of that period seeps through every song. Loosely framed around Puccini's Madama Butterfly, the album swapped the polish of the debut for a self-produced roar, all distorted guitars, cracked vocals and lyrics so candid they made some listeners squirm.
It was not embraced at first, but a generation of emo and indie bands later held it up as a blueprint. "El Scorcho" is a gloriously awkward love song shouted over clattering guitars, while "The Good Life" turns frustration and self-pity into one of the band's most irresistible choruses.
"Across the Sea," inspired by a letter from a fan in Japan, aches with longing and embarrassment in equal measure, and acoustic closer "Butterfly" lands as a quiet, devastating apology after all the feedback and noise.
Messy, honest and deeply human, Pinkerton rewards anyone who prefers their rock with the scuffs and fingerprints left in. It remains the Weezer album many fans hold closest, and for good reason.
