Limited vinyl LP pressing includes 12 x 12 insert. Pinkerton is the second studio album by band Weezer, released on September 24, 1996. After abandoning plans for a rock opera titled Songs from the Black Hole, Weezer recorded Pinkerton between songwriter Rivers Cuomos terms at Harvard University, where he wrote much of the album. To better capture their live sound, Weezer produced Pinkerton themselves, creating a darker, more abrasive album than their 1994 self-titled debut. Cuomos lyrics express disillusionment with the rock lifestyle; the album is named after the character BF Pinkerton from Giacomo Puccinis 1904 opera Madama Butterfly, whom Cuomo described as an asshole American sailor similar to a touring rock star. Like the opera, the album contains references to Japanese culture.
