As with all Weezer albums, it was an album of firsts. It was the first album to feature current bassist [[Scott Shriner]] after the breakdown and departure of [[Mikey Welsh]], the first to contain a booklet with lyrics (which included a special message thanking Weezer boardies), and the first time a Weezer album has ventured further than the standard tracklist of 10 songs, stretching to 13 songs but still retaining the normal album length of a normal Weezer album.
