As with all Weezer albums, it was an album of firsts. It was the first album to feature current bassist [[Scott Shriner]] after the breakdown and departure of [[Mikey Welsh]], the first to contain a booklet with lyrics (which included a special message thanking Weezer boardies), and the first to venture beyond ten tracks. The first 600,000 copies were numbered in a limited edition, with gold foildigits at the bottom corner. | As with all Weezer albums, it was an album of firsts.
