Pinkerton (album)
''Pinkerton'' is the second studio album by the American rock band Weezer, released on September 24, 1996, by DGC Records. The guitarist and vocalist Rivers Cuomo wrote most of ''Pinkerton'' while studying at Harvard University, after abandoning plans for a rock opera, '' Songs from the Black Hole''. It was the last Weezer album to feature the bassist Matt Sharp, who left in 1998. 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 title comes from 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 ''Madama Butterfly'', ''Pinkerton'' views Japanese culture from the perspective of an outsider who considers Japan fragile and sensual. ''Pinkerton'' produced the singles " El Scorcho ...
