A 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Album That Turned the Spring of 2001 Green

In the late 90's, the California band Weezer had, for all intents and purposes, called it quits. But Rivers Cuomo was coaxed back by fans, so he reformed Weezer and they recorded a third album that sparkled with sunshine and inescapable pop hooks. It was released on May 15, 2001 and became known simply by the colour of its cover -- the Green album. Thanks to hits like Hash Pipe, Photograph, and Island in the Sun, the album went to number 2 in Canada. And Randy Renaud revisits the story behind it for the Chronicles of Rock.
