Even before the release of [[The White Album]] in 2016, [[Rivers Cuomo]] was talking about the next release, which at the time was expected to be The Black Album. He wanted to push in a more darker, more modern-sounding direction in order to contrast with the White Album: “The next album is going to feel like an urban environment, night-time and gritty and hopefully a lot more modern sounds, synthesised sounds, samples maybe."[http://www.upsetmagazine.com/news/read/rivers-cuomo-talks-about-weezers-gritty-black-album/] He also intended to not use White Album producer Jake Sinclair again, claiming that on the White Album "I was the voice that was saying, 'Let's do something radical.' And Jake [Sinclair], our producer, was very much the voice of conservatism, on the side of the old-school fans... He won on [White], and I'm gonna win on the next album, which is the Black Album."[http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-ca-ms-rivers-cuomo-20160327-story.html] In an interview at the Grammy Museum, Rivers also mentioned that Sinclair might be "too much" of a weezer fan to accomplish what they were going for. By the end of March, Rivers claimed he was halfway through writing the album[https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2016/03/30/weezer-white-album-rivers-cuomo/82351992/]. | Even before the release of [[The White Album]] in 2016, [[Rivers Cuomo]] was talking about the next release, which at the time was expected to be The Black Album.

Much like The White Album, the band members recorded their parts for Pacific Daydream separately and were almost never in the studio at the same time. Rivers told Entertainment Weekly that “they get to explore and do their thing without worrying about what I’m thinking. I’m invariably delighted when I hear the results.” | Much like The White Album, the band members recorded their parts for Pacific Daydream separately and were almost never in the studio at the same time.
