The band's 1996 sophomore album gained a cult following and influenced multiple rock acts today. Rivers Cuomo wrote much of the album during his time at Harvard University.

After abandoning plans for a rock opera, Weezer released their second studio album, Pinkerton. To better capture their live sound, the band produced Pinkerton themselves, creating a darker, more abrasive album than their 1994 self-titled debut. Cuomo's lyrics express disillusionment with the rock lifestyle; the album is named after the character BF Pinkerton from the opera, Madama Butterfly. Original Release Date: 2019 Label: Geffen Number of discs: 1 Pinkerton brims with catchy pop hooks and melodies, yet manages to go beneath the surface of the band's power pop façade and expose all the feelings and desires of a self-isolated nerd/rockstar. The album was originally panned by critics upon its release in 1996, but has now gone on to develop a cult following and has also gained the respect of critics and fans alike in retrospect. A good portion of the album was written while Cuomo was attending Harvard, while dually recovering from leg surgery, and in the process, he became a self-isolated hermit. (This is most evident on the track, "The Good Life", where Rivers sings "Can't even get around/without an old-man cane" and "Shivering in the cold/Bitter and alone") Other concerns Cuomo voices are about relationships of all kinds, from falling in love with a lesbian ("Pink Triangle"), receiving letters from a woman living in Japan whom he becomes infatuated with ("Across the Sea") and even a tune about a drug-addled liar of a girlfriend. As a follow-up to the hugely successful Weezer debut album, Rivers Cuomo wrote an album teeming with youthful angst. To support that, the music is generously laced with grunge, riding the prevailing trend at the time with dark guitar sounds including dissonance and feedback. The music could almost be Stone Temple Pilots.
