Weezer

Sun-drenched, salt-crusted guitar chords and complex, Beach Boys-inspired vocal arrangements wash over a collection of bittersweet coastal anthems. This self-titled effort, widely known as the White Album, pairs the massive, fuzzy crunch of the band's classic era with a sophisticated, melancholic surf-rock perspective. It captures the specific warmth of a Southern California afternoon just as the ocean breeze begins to turn cold.
