** "Cold Dark World" has lyrics promising to be there for a love interest no matter what, set to slow, ominous minor key music - even though there's no signs of malice in the lyrics, it ends up sounding like it's about a StalkerWithACrush. The music and lyrics were written separately by different members of the band, and they just found the juxtaposition interesting.

** "Yellow Camaro" was written and sung by Brian Bell and attempted a few times as a Weezer demo, but ultimately became a song for Brian's side project Space Twins... Only for a Weezer version to finally become a Japan-only bonus track of ''Death to False Metal'' 7 years later - though Brian himself apparently didn't know it was ever officially released by Weezer until a fan brought it up at a Q & A session.

* NewSoundAlbum: Most Weezer albums have a distinct sound from one and other. Examples include:
** ''Pinkerton'' is noticeably DarkerAndEdgier than the ''Blue Album'', and amps up on the emo sound, while downplaying the power pop of that album.
** Due to the initial panning of ''Pinkerton'', the ''Green Album'' has a sound closer to that of the ''Blue Album'', but is more pop punk-oriented.
** ''Maladroit'', like ''Pinkerton'' before it, is noticeably DarkAndEdgier than its predecessor, adding HardRock and HeavyMetal elements to the mix.
** The ''Red Album'' is perhaps their most eclectic album to date, and has other members of the band singing some of the songs.
** ''Hurley'' adds synths to the mix, and is influenced by the 2000's post-punk revival scene.
** ''Pacific Daydream'' adds elements of electropop and indie pop.
** ''OK Human'' is their biggest departure to date, having a very orchestral sound.
** ''Van Weezer'', as the title suggests, is an homage Music/VanHalen's music, as well as other popular hard rock and heavy metal acts.
