Long ago, [[Rivers Cuomo]] basically split [[Weezer]] into two different bands. One of them puts out experimental albums (''[[Pinkerton]]'', ''[[Maladroit]]'', ''[[The Red Album]]'', etc.), and the other puts out commercially-minded records (''[[The Green Album]]'', ''[[Make Believe]]'', etc). At times (''[[The Blue Album]]'', ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''), Weezer straddle the fence. There’s a bit of mad genius to this approach. Not only does Cuomo —something of a creative contrarian who’s been ultra-reactive to fan response in the past — get to buck expectations when he wants to, but he also gets to appease both sides of the aisle. | Long ago, [[Rivers Cuomo]] basically split [[Weezer]] into two different bands.
