The album features songs written over the course of several years. The song "[[Barcelona]]" was repurposed from a [[1993]] demo titled "[[California]]", while the songs "[[Must Be Wrong]]", "[[Say Goodbye Forever]]", and "[[The Cruise]]" (as "[[So Soon]]") were originally demoed in [[1995]]. Rentals frontman [[Matt Sharp]] has said that the album's concept began when the band was on tour in Europe [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Buddyhead.com_interview_with_Matt_Sharp_-_Late_1999] and, indeed, the album's lyrical content reflects Sharp's time spent in Europe. The CD's packaging features photographs taken by Sharp in Barcelona. La Rambla appears on the CD sleeve and images of Montjuïc and El Raval in the booklet and cover. When asked about the album's title in [[buddyhead.com interview with Matt Sharp - Late 1999|an interview with buddyhead.com]], Sharp commented "The title means a bunch of different things to different people. It especially means something that is really close to me. But in general it's the amount of time on a snooze for an alarm. When you don't want to leave a certain place you just keep hitting the snooze button over and over. Seven more minutes." | |||
''In | The album was delayed several times due to label demand to tweak it repeatedly, in addition to Sharp's multiple revisions. The record failed to make much chart noise, and the band was derailed for years in its wake. | ||
The album's liner notes dedicate the album: "''In Loving Memory of [[Mykel and Carli Allan|Mykel, Carlie]]'' [sic]'', and Trysta Allan''". | |||
