Weezer is an American rock band. The name may also refer to any of the four eponymous albums by the band:

Weezer, also known as The Red Album, is the sixth studio album by the American alternative rock band Weezer, released on June 3, 2008.Rick Rubin and Jacknife Lee both produced parts of the album, with the band producing a handful of tracks themselves. Like the group's 1994 debut album Weezer, other band members contributed to songwriting. This is the first and, so far, the only Weezer album to feature lead vocals from all four band members. The album also features more musical experimentation in comparison to their previous efforts, especially shown in such songs as "Dreamin'", "The Angel and The One" and "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived".

Two official singles were released from the album—"Pork and Beans" and "Troublemaker"—with both becoming relatively successful modern rock songs. The video for the former also became the most-watched video on the internet the weekend following its release. Additionally, an unconventional Hootenanny Tour replaced the traditional rock concert tour to promote the album. Despite this, the album proved to be less successful than their previous album, Make Believe, failing to be certified Gold.

Weezer, also known as The White Album, is the upcoming tenth studio album by the American rock band Weezer, due for release on April 1, 2016. It will be the band's second album not released on a major label (after Hurley), and fourth self-titled album (after Weezer (1994), Weezer (2001), and Weezer (2008)). The album will feature singles "Thank God for Girls" and "Do You Wanna Get High?", along with promotional single "King of the World".

Writing and composition

Rivers Cuomo described Weezer as a "beach album", based on his experiences " hanging around the Westside of Los Angeles, [...] with people in Venice and Santa Monica, the beach, the Hare Krishnas, the Sikh on roller blades with the guitar, girls on Tinder within a 4 mile radius, seeing other bands, the kids from La Sera." Cuomo also credited The Beach Boys as an influence over the album's style. "Do You Wanna Get High?", the album's second single, deals with Cuomo's prescription drug addiction in 2000-01, as well as his girlfriend at the time, describing it as "a really yucky and intentionally uncomfortable portrayal of the addict’s life. There’s nothing sexy, fun or funny about it." The unnamed female also served as inspiration for the Green Album's closer, "O Girlfriend".

Dreaming is the process of experiencing a dream during sleep.

"Dreamin'" is a song released as an iTunes single (the fourth from the album) from American alternative rock band Weezer's sixth album, Weezer (2008). It was released in digital form on May 27, 2008.

In the booklet for Rivers Cuomo's demo compilation album Alone, Cuomo describes how the song "This Is the Way" was originally going to be used for the Red Album over "Dreamin'," then called "Daydreamer." Eventually, Cuomo was able to persuade other band members to choose the "epic, 6-minute, symphonic type of art song" Dreamin' instead.

Brian Bell has commented that this song was written in the sonata form and the breakdown of the song has a formal name ("The Dream Sequence") in response to a question asking what was each band member's produest moment on the album.

The song was released as a downloadable song for the game Rock Band and its two sequels along with the songs "Troublemaker" and "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived."

The song mentions the Widener Library Stacks at Harvard University where the composer Rivers Cuomo attended and graduated from.
