Weezer Album 6 is Done

[CMAGUS]

According to their site Brian just posted the following

Happy Holidays to all, whether youre a Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan or any other type o' person. Here's Brian with a message to all the faithful weezer fans...

"Greetings fellow Weezer-ites. We'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years. And it's going to be a very happy one because album six is finished and personally I think it's our best yet.

Never have the four of us worked so hard and passionately on an album and we all look forward to performing this culmination of our talents and combined knowledge in 2008 in a city near you!

Love always,
yours truly,
sincerely,

Brian"

Awesome hopefully we get to hear something new soon

Weezer's only good album was the blue one, though I'll probablly give the new one a listen.

[chasingbanky]

I love Weezer. Something about their style just makes me happy to hear/see them. I hope this album is great.

I bought Pinkterton with some of my Christmas money and I instantly fell in love with the band again. I've liked The Blue Album for a long time, and the songs have always been singing fodder for our stoner vocals to work on. But damn, that album made me love the band again in way of their musician ship and not just for a band who writes damn good catchy songs.

I'll probably get the new one, but I hope it isn't as lacking as Make Believe.

Oh my GOD. OH MY GOD.

This just made my pathetic Saturday. Bless you.

..a recent spate of articles broke free recently about the new Weezer album, and a lot of requests have come in for some confirmation. None has been forthcoming so far due to the fact that things are still a bit fluid. But in the interest of not driving fans completely crazy, heres a rundown of what is known and not known:

1. Album release date. This has been reported as being June 17th. This is very likely, however release dates are never truly guaranteed until a week or two before the album arrives. So its probably 6/17, with a small chance of changing.

2. The Album's title. The album has been reported as being self titled, i.e. just called "Weezer" like the Blue and Green albums were. This is also very likely. In fact, as of last Friday, it was technically not possible to change it - unless the release date is changed too. So we can say its very unlikely to change.

3. The Album's theme (color). This has been reported as "The Red Album". This is a strong possibility but it is not for sure. As I understand things, many competing visual ideas are being played off against each other (none of which would affect the self titled aspect), and some are "Red" in style or concept. But whether this ends up as the final theme remains to be seen.

4. First single. Confirmed as being "Pork And Beans". Could this change? Maybe a tiny chance of that. But it is definitely a song on the album (and it is unrelated to the demo song "Pig" that made it onto the internet in '06). As for the release date of this single, this information is TBD, likewise the potential (if any) for "physical" single format(s).

5. Other songs on the album. Many song titles have been kicked around the 'net, including "Everybody Get Dangerous", "Automatic", "Ms. Sweeney", "?" (a '12 letter word starting with T and ending with R'), "I'm the Greatest Man That Ever Lived", "Daydreamer". All are real weezer songs, but none are 100% confirmed as actually being on the album as of this writing.

6. Producer/Mixer. The album was made in 3 phases, produced by Rick Rubin (Malibu, spring '07), Weezer (mostly) (Malibu, summer/fall '07), and Jacknife Lee and Weezer (Santa Monica, early '08), and was mixed by Rich Costey.

...in other news, Rivers has been writing a new song with fans' input, using Youtube.

As disappointed as Make Believe was, it still had some great songs on it. Perfect Situation is one of the best Weezer songs ever. Im definitely excited for this.

New clip of their first single Pork n beans

[The Postmaster General]

I wasn't too fond of green album or Make Believe, but I'm down with hearing anything from The Weeze. That single clip sounds okay, but it's hard to get a feel for it. If anything, I'd say not too exciting. I'm still giving the album a go though.

[RandalGraves]

I'll def check this out, I love the music, but not a big fan of the band themselves.

[ashleyjenkins]

ah man... i just checked out that clip. THEY'RE BRINGING BACK THE ROCK! finally. high hopes for this album. :D

[Tweek]

I have a feeling this'll make up for that dreadful Rivers Cuomo release. :mad: I would rather listen to the Green Album than that.


Yeah, can't wait. :cool:

[notchreturns]

Shame they haven't done anything decent since Pinkerton.

Oh well.

[Sigur509]

I still like Maladroit the best.

Damn, I need to find my copy.

[Scarfather]

I could have sworn they broke up two years ago.

Did they realize they wanted more money?
