20 Most Anticipated Hard Rock & Metal Albums Of 2022
8. Weezer
Title: SZNS
Release Date: TBA
Previous Release: Van Weezer (2021)
Weezer are a band that while popular people often sleep on in terms of sheer talent and diversity. They are capable of breaking hearts (see their Pinkerton album and Perfect Situation) and also give goofy party energy, with tracks such as Beverly Hills and Pork and Beans.
Their latest project SZNS is a four-album boxset with each album being named after a season, starting with Spring and concluding with Winter. As early as January 2021, when Weezer were doing press for their OK Human album, River Cuomo discussed the four album concept, then assumed to be called "Seasons":
"Each of the four albums comes out on the first day of the relevant season, and each album will have a very different musical and lyrical theme. Spring can be a very breezy, carefree acoustic-type album, whereas fall is going to be dance rock. So I've got the four folders going in Dropbox. I'm having a great time."
It is quite the feat for the band, however, in 2021 they released two albums (OK Human and Van Weezer), and clearly have the drive and passion to double their output.
