Pinkerton (album)
''Pinkerton'' is the second studio album by American rock band Weezer, released on September 24, 1996, by DGC Records. After abandoning plans for a rock opera entitled '' Songs from the Black Hole'', Weezer recorded the album between the songwriter Rivers Cuomo's terms at Harvard University, where he wrote most of the songs. To better capture their live sound, Weezer self-produced ''Pinkerton'', creating a darker, more abrasive album than their self-titled 1994 debut. Cuomo's lyrics express loneliness and disillusionment with the rock lifestyle; the album is named after the character BF Pinkerton from Giacomo Puccini's 1904 opera '' Madama Butterfly'', whom Cuomo described as an "asshole American sailor similar to a touring rock star". Like the opera, the album contains references to Japanese culture. ''Pinkerton'' produced the singles "El Scorcho", " The Good Life", and "Pink Triangle", and debuted at number nineteen on the US ''Billboard'' 200. It failed to meet sales expe ...
