Return of the Rentals is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band The Rentals, released on October 31, 1995, through Maverick Records and Reprise Records.[1] The album features Matt Sharp—Weezer's bassist at the time—on vocals and bass, as well as Weezer drummer Patrick Wilson.[2]
Return of the Rentals was well received by critics and produced the successful single "Friends of P.", which peaked at number 7 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and received significant airplay on MTV's 120 Minutes. Despite this, the album only managed to reach number 19 on the Billboard Heatseeker Albums chart, and by 1999 the album had sold 96,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[3][4]
In a 2019 Reddit AMA, Matt Sharp revealed that the artwork and the master tapes of Return of the Rentals have either been lost or destroyed by the record label, meaning a reissue of the album is unlikely.[5]
