  • Pinkerton is Alternative Rock band Weezer's second album, released on 24 September 1996. The album was initially planned as a Rock Opera named Songs from the Black Hole, but the concept was eventually abandoned, and the final album combined songs that were discarded from Black Hole and new, Creator Breakdowny material. As mentioned above, frontman Rivers Cuomo's initial plan to follow their self-titled debut was to create a Rock Opera that he described as "an analogy for taking off, going out on the road and up the charts with a rock band, which is what was happening to me at the time I was writing this and feeling like I was lost in space". The songs were also influenced by somewhat of a Creator Breakdown as Cuomo underwent painful surgery to correct the fact that he was born with one leg shorter than the other, and was accepted to study at Harvard with a letter describing his disillusionment with the rock lifestyle but found himself isolated and lonely. The album was recorded in September 1995, January, March and June 1996 at a variety of studios (Sound City and Hollywood Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, Fort Apache in Boston, Rumbo Recorders in Canoga Park and Electric Lady Studios in New York) during Cuomo's breaks from Harvard, which left the other band members plenty of free time to indulge in their own projects. Intending a rawer, Darker and Edgier sound, Cuomo chose to have the band self-produce the record with 12 engineers, replacing Ric Ocasek's earlier radio-friendly production with a pounding drum sound and vicious, aggressive guitar sounds accomplished by connecting them to multiple distortion pedals at once. The title of the album comes from the character in Madame Butterfly, but right before its release the Pinkerton security agency attempted to sue for trademark infringement, only to have their case thrown out almost instantly. The first single, "El Scorcho", stiffed on MTV, possibly due to Cuomo's refusal to indulge in the "gimmicky" videos that made "Buddy Holly" a success, and despite subsequent singles "The Good Life" and "Pink Triangle", Pinkerton stopped at #19 on the Billboard charts and endured a severe critical beatdown - infamously, Rolling Stone's review criticised every song save "Butterfly" and a reader poll named it one of the worst albums of 1996. Despite this, the album settled on being a Cult Classic and slowly but steadily gathered a fanbase, and years later the consensus altered and it became recognised as Weezer's Magnum Opus.
