Weezer debuted in 1994 with their self-titled album referred to by fans as "The Blue Album". The album was a huge commercial success spawning the popular singles "Undone - The Sweater Song" and "Buddy Holly", both of which were responsible for launching Weezer into mainstream success with the aid of music videos directed by Spike Jonze. It is currently certified three times platinum, making it Weezer's best selling album of all-time.cite web|title=Gold and Platinum: Searchable Database|publisher=RIAA|url=http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH|accessdate=2007-10-09] After the multi-platinum success of their debut album, in late December 1994, Weezer took a break from touring for the Christmas holidays.Luerssen D., John. "Rivers' Edge: The Weezer Story". ECW Press, 2004, ISBN 1-55022-619-3 p. 137] Cuomo traveled back east to his home state of Connecticut, and using an eight-track recorder, he began piecing together demo material for Weezer's next album. Cuomo's original concept for Weezer's second album was to be a space-themed rock opera, "Songs from the Black Hole".cite web | url=http://www.weezer.com/info/recording/WeezRecHist7.htm|title=Weezer Record History page 7|accessdate=2007-09-19 |publisher="Weezer.com"] Ultimately, the "Songs from the Black Hole" album concept was dropped. Luerssen D., John, 2004 p. 139] The band would later incorporate songs from these sessions into the final concept, which was "Pinkerton". In 1996, "Pinkerton" was released. It was considered a critical and commercial failure, selling far less than its multi-platinum predecessor.cite web | last = | first = | url = http://www.gloriousnoise.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=3940 | title = For The Statistically Minded | format = | work = | publisher =Glorious Noise | accessdate = 2007-02-06] However, in the years following its release, it has seen much critical and commercial championing.cite web | last = | first = | url = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkerton_%28album%29#Retrospect | title = Pinkerton: Reception: Retrospect | format = | work = | publisher =Wikipedia | accessdate = 2007-10-09] Following a hiatus, after the release of "Pinkerton", in 2001, Weezer would return to critical and commercial prominence with the platinum-selling release of their second self-titled album, commonly referred to by fans as "The Green Album".
