NME last spoke to Weezer in 2024, where frontman Rivers Cuomo recalled the process of making the group’s 1994 debut album – three decades after it was released.

“The one thing that struck me was how physically close we all were, not just the four of us, but there was a whole crowd of young men, packed into very small apartments in a very small part of Los Angeles,” he told us. “[We] were just constantly hanging out and talking, debating and discussing music and style, and we didn’t even have television sets back then so there was very little to distract us… And obviously we had no wives, children or girlfriends.”

Cuomo added: “When we released the ‘Blue’ album, I definitely felt like it was the greatest album of all time. I figured there was a chance I was wrong, but to me, it was my favourite album of all time and I assumed other people would feel the same way.”
