Weezer, (Blue Album), is the iconic debut studio album from American rock band Weezer, released on May 10, 1994, by DGC Records. Produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars fame, the album marked a significant moment in the rock landscape of the 90s, introducing emo-tinged alternative rock to a wider audience.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1992, the band initially struggled to gain traction in a grunge-dominated scene. Their breakthrough came with the demo The Kitchen Tape, which captured the attention of Geffen Records. Recording primarily at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, Weezer crafted a unique sound by treating guitars and bass as a unified 10-string instrument.

The band generated buzz through hit singles like "Undone – The Sweater Song", "Buddy Holly" and "Say It Ain't So", all of which featured memorable MTV music videos. The album reached number sixteen on the US Billboard 200 and achieved triple platinum status by 1995. By 2009, it had sold over 3.3 million copies in the U.S. and more than 15 million worldwide. It’s recognized as one of the best albums of the 1990s, earning a spot on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

Despite internal challenges, including the firing of guitarist Jason Cropper and his replacement by Brian Bell, the band's cohesive vision prevailed. The creative collaboration and vocal harmonization between Rivers Cuomo and Matt Sharp flourished, resulting in a distinctive sound that defined a generation of emo-adjacent alternative rock.
