The disc carries the original ten-song running order, about 41 minutes from \"My Name Is Jonas\" to the eight-minute \"Only in Dreams.\" The CD credits list mastering by George Marino at Sterling Sound in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRic Ocasek of the Cars produced it. Weezer chose him because of the Cars' \"Just What I Needed,\" which Rivers Cuomo said sounded close to what he wanted for his own band. Most of the album was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York between August and September 1993. Ocasek had the guitarists move from the neck pickup to the bridge pickup for a brighter tone. Cuomo and bassist Matt Sharp banned reverb and required downstrokes on every guitar part. Engineer Chris Shaw described the guiding idea as treating guitars and bass as one 10-string instrument, played in unison. Apart from delay on the swells in \"Only in Dreams,\" the album uses no guitar effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuitarist Jason Cropper left once recording was finished, and Cuomo re-recorded all of his parts. Brian Bell, his replacement, is credited for guitar in the liner notes, and Cropper keeps a writing credit for the intro to \"My Name Is Jonas.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Gowland took the cover photograph: the four members against a plain blue backdrop. Sharp was unhappy with how his head looked, so a Geffen art director swapped in his head from another frame using Photoshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe singles were \"Undone - The Sweater Song,\" \"Buddy Holly\" and \"Say It Ain't So.\" Spike Jonze directed the \"Undone\" video, pitching it as a blue stage, a steadicam and a pack of wild dogs. The album peaked at number 16 on the Billboard 200 and was certified five-times platinum in the US in 2024. It is Weezer's best-selling album, with more than 15 million copies sold worldwide by 2009. Rolling Stone placed it at number 294 on its 2020 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and in 2026 the Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Name Is Jonas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo One Else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe World Has Turned and Left Me Here\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuddy Holly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUndone - The Sweater Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurf Wax America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSay It Ain't So\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Garage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoliday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly in Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720642462928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Geffen Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.10.94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DGC Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48232940437662,"sku":"EVP-967C5D7B-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/Weezer---Weezer-1CD.png?v=1791407593","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/weezer-weezer-cd","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
