Possibly the best CD released in the 90's, the Blue Album was Weezer's 1994 debut. Its catchy riffs combined with the voice and song writing of Rivers Cuomo made this CD a classic.
Only in Dreams, the last song on Weezer's Blue Album, is the best album closer ever!

A song that is found exclusively on an album and was never released as a single. Sometimes filler, sometimes under-appreciated, sometimes well-known and equally amazing, album cuts are what fill the spaces between the singles you may have initially bought the album for.
"Do you know that song by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Tuesday's Gone"?"
"Nah man, never heard of it. I know Free Bird though but everyone knows that haha"
"Well it was off their first album that Free Bird was on -- its an album cut. I think its the second or third song."

Concept albums are albums that are written with a specific storyline or plot in mind. All the songs follow a consistent theme, story, plot, or character. These albums are often epic and tell the story of one or more characters, usually fictional but can also be factual. The story can also be based on facts but has fictional characters. For example, the album "Vinland Saga" (Leaves' Eyes), is a concept album based upon the true events of the Vikings of Norway, commonly referred to as the Norse. However, the characters in it are of the lyricist's imagination entirely.
Concept albums have been known to be present more commonly in the metal genre, but they can be of any genre, as long as they meet the definition of a concept album.
Examples of concept albums:
- Lovelorn, by Leaves' Eyes
- Vinland Saga, by Leaves' Eyes
- The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance

Metallica album released in 1991, it was officially self-titled, it was nicknamed "black album" after the completely dark black art cover. Metallica's most popular album, sold over 10 million copies.
the Black Album may have made them the biggest selling heavy metal band, but Master of Puppets is their best album in my opinion.
