The synthesizer parts played on ''ROTR'' were a late addition in the production process. Cuomo claimed in 2002 that the heavy use of moogs on the record discouraged him from pursuing the ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]'' project, which would have also incorporated sci-fi themes and synthesized instrumentation. | The synthesizer parts played on ''ROTR'' were a late addition in the production process.

The music video for "[[Friends of P]]" received heavy airplay on [[MTV]], considerably lifting the Rentals' profile before they had even solidified a steady lineup. It portrays the band in black-and-white in a vaguely Eastern-European setting, with the song's lyrics subtitled in Russian. According to Sharp, the idea for this elaborate backstory came from a desire to separate the project from Weezer, "mak[ing] it so we weren't even from this country and I didn't have anything to do with anything from America at all." | The music video for "[[Friends of P]]" received heavy airplay on [[MTV]], considerably lifting the Rentals' profile before they had even solidified a steady lineup.
