Weezer — Interview - 107.7 The End - Blue vs. Pinkerton

Hi, The End Hey, hey yeah. I would like to know Yas Why was your first self titled album so like put together and perfect and why was your second album like Less like that? Yeah. Dude Dude What a bummer Dude, you’re bumming me out Because like your first album was like cool but it sucked but your second album came back and like Sucked but it was cool The point you’re tryin to make is that the first album was very produced, the second album had a much more raw feel to it They paid like $2,000 for the first album and like $500 for the second one It costs a lot of money to sound like that When we went to make our first album we were all very um Preppy? No, it wasn’t that, it was we were nervous and we wanted to sound good so I think we were in the wrong frame of mind. We were making sure everything was perfect and it came out sounding a bit sterile I think. Yeah Yeah I’m on your home page right now Really? That’s great I’ve never even been there so I don’t know what you’re looking at You’re glad So are you um, the second album, when you went in to record it was it an intentional thing to make it more raw sounding, Rivers? No, I think it was just A bit more natural Just be ourselves, yeah. Be natural. And C sharp At that point we had toured for a year and a half so we were pretty confident that we could just press record and it would sound presentable. Cool So we just had fun.
