"The newly-unearthed album was built from the band's very first studio sessions and discovered by founding bassist Matt Sharp while digging through a trove of "lost-album" master tapes. Recorded with the original lineup including guitarist Jason Cropper, the sessions feature raw early takes on future staples like "Say It Ain't So" and "Undone (The Sweater Song)," the recordings that helped land Weezer their record deal ahead of the Blue Album."
