Weezer's debut album, ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|Weezer]]'', referred to now as ''The Blue Album'' was released on May 10, 1994. The album's debut single, "[[Undone - The Sweater Song]" received regular rotation on college radio. It was not until a video, directed by [[Spike Jonze]] propelled the song into MTV rotation that everyone began to talk about Weezer. Unintentionally, and perhaps unforeseeable, a debut single about a sweater prompted many to write the band off as a gimmick. Others penned the band (and perhaps rightfully so) as nerds. Some felt that singing about a sweater was an attempt to be ironic, others thought it was hilarious. | Weezer's debut album, ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|Weezer]]'', referred to now as ''The Blue Album'' was released on May 10, 1994.
