Weezer's latest album has one foot in the future and one in the past. After the disappointing 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]]. He is a self-confessed weezer fan who posted on [[allthingsweezer.com]] after the album was announced. The album has some classic-sounding songs like the [[Pinkerton]] style "[[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 has said that he was pushing for the new sound, while Jake wanted more classic style songs. | Weezer's latest album has one foot in the future and one in the past.
