==Overview==
Weezer's latest album has one foot in the future and one in the past. After the lackluster sales of the previous album, [[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]], the band left Republic Records and joined Crush Music. A new producer was signed, [[Jake Sinclair]], whom the band met during the recording for [[Raditude]], who has confessed he is a big fan of the band. The album has some classic-sounding songs like the [[Pinkerton]] styled [[Do You Wanna Get High?]] and the [[The Blue Album]]-sounding [[L.A. Girlz]]. There are also some new and modern sounding tracks like [[Thank God for Girls]] and [[Jacked Up]]. Rivers stated that he was pushing for the new sound, while Jake wanted more classic style songs.
