Two months after being signed, the band flew to New York City and recorded their [[1994]] debut ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|Weezer]]'', known semi-officially as "The Blue Album." The high-stakes environment of a major label recording session, produced by [[Ric Ocasek]], saw the band seeking to intentionally simplify their sound, combining influences from top 40 pop, art-rock, hair metal, and progressive rock{{citation needed}} into a consonant, economical power pop. Cuomo took a very assertive role during the sessions, altering what had previously been a more collaborative relationship among band members. Near the end of the recording sessions, he fired guitarist Jason Cropper under circumstances that have never been made fully public. The band replaced him with [[Brian Bell]], a bassist in the LA-area progressive rock band [[Carnival Art]] that they had crossed paths with only a few times. | Two months after being signed, the band flew to New York City and recorded their [[1994]] debut ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|Weezer]]'', known semi-officially as "The Blue Album."
