## Resource

Weezer finally got its mission statement together: “Let’s just work together.” Scott Shriner and Patrick Wilson talk with Kyle Meredith about The Gold Album , the band’s 20th record, and how sitting in a living room together turned the sessions into a creative rebirth. They also get into rejecting the modern obsession with grids and perfection, developing a stronger bass-and-drums connection, the self-aware message behind “CEO,” and taking the new songs on the road alongside The Shins and Silversun Pickups. Listen to Scott Shriner and Patrick Wilson chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube .
