Story summary

Weezer will release a self-titled 10-track LP on August 21, their first album since 2021’s Van Weezer.
Drummer Patrick Wilson says the record balances the Blue Album and Pinkerton and was recorded without a click track.
Bassist Scott Shriner says Kenny Blume aimed for the band’s most violent record, giving it an “educated-thug” vibe, and the album drops before Weezer’s The Gathering Tour starts the following month.
