{"product_id":"weezer-van-weezer-cd","title":"Weezer - Van Weezer [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eVan Weezer is Weezer's loud, grinning love letter to 1980s hard rock and hair metal, presented here on CD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2021, after a delay from its original plans, the album leaned into the music Rivers Cuomo obsessed over as a teenager long before he wrote a single power-pop hook. The title nods to Van Halen, and the record arrived not long after the death of Eddie Van Halen, giving its flashy, fun-loving riffs an extra layer of affection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The End of the Game\" kicks things off with tapped guitar runs and a big, punchy chorus, setting the tone for everything that follows. \"Hero\" is a fist-raising anthem with a soaring hook, \"All the Good Ones\" bounces along on a strutting groove with a sly sense of humour, and \"I Need Some of That\" leans happily into nostalgia for the radio rock of decades past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guitars are big, the solos are shameless and the choruses are built for car stereos, yet the songwriting remains recognisably Weezer, full of awkward charm and melodic smarts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt just ten songs, it's a quick, high-energy listen that never outstays its welcome. For fans who love the band's heavier side, or anyone who grew up on arena rock, it's an easy record to enjoy at high volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518467121457,"sku":"075678650918","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Weezer-Van_Weezer_CD.jpg?v=1794678927","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/weezer-van-weezer-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
