Pinkerton

Released 1996Alternative & Indie
Deep cut

Raw, confessional and abrasive, panned on release and later revered as a cult classic. Painfully honest. A grower that became beloved. Released in 1996, it's one of Weezer's later high points.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
