The White Album is the band's tenth album and it seems to have 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]]''. | The White Album is the band's tenth album and it seems to have 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]]''. Sinclair, being a self-proclaimed Weezer fan, [[wannabeezer|posted]] on the website [[allthingsweezer.com]] after the album was announced to reassure fans and share pieces of information from the album. 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. | ||
When work began for the album, Rivers showed his Dropbox account to Jake, which had almost 250 songs and demos. Only one song would make the cut: "[[California Kids]]", which set the tone and beach theme of the album. | When work began for the album, Rivers showed his Dropbox account to Jake, which had almost 250 songs and demos.
