new Weezer album(s)

Weezer

We've finished.

Album 6 is getting ready for mixing and I have never been so excited about a project in my life. Weezer fans truly have something to look forward to. The entire band has accomplished some of its most challenging goals as a group and as individuals. It's all coming together on this album.

To sum it up, at the beginning of the recording each member asked himself "what do you want out of this session?" The answer lies ahead.

-Scott Shriner

In related news, Alone - The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo will be released on December 11th.

Wow, this makes me nostalgic for 1997.

So now we are taking Scott Shriner's 2 cents on the album? Seriously, you're the third bass player - right? I'm not bashful about my love for this band, but until Brian, Rivers or Pat comes out of the wood work to start talking this up as something great - I'll pass. The last three records were a complete let down. If they manage to make another clunker they might as well hang it up. Hopefully Album 6 will be a return to form.

I used to agree with Anon 11:18 until I heard that song at the Hustler Club.

For a brief shining 3 minutes it was the best song I'd heard in one life.

Maybe if they call it "PinkertonTouching" - I don't know..

This band's first 2 records were great, but wow have they turned to shit. Everything they've done has been so bad. Their last album was unlistenable.

Please, please go back to your roots.

WEEZER SET TO RELEASE SIXTH ALBUM WEEZER ON JUNE 24 ON DGC/INTERSCOPE RECORDS; FIRST SINGLE "PORK AND BEANS" AVAILABLE DIGITALLY APRIL 22

Weezer one of the biggest and most influential bands of the last decade will for the third time in its six-album history release a self-titled album. The new album will hit streets on June 24 through DGC/Interscope Records. To distinguish it from the other eponymous albums its being referred by people as "The Red Album" There are now no more primary colors to describe eponymous Weezer albums having exhausted blue and green previously (to learn more about primary colors go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color). Comprised of sessions produced by Rick Rubin, Jacknife Lee and the band itself, the album is adventurous and undeniable Weezer pop-rock. The first single, the quirky and catchy "Pork and Beans," was recorded under the watch of the Irishman Lee and will soon be a Weezer classic. The song which will be available to buy digitally on April 22, is already at Modern Rock Radio and a video will be available in early May.

Great albums are culminations of the past with an eye to the future, and the Red Album has parts "Blue Album," "Pinkerton," and forges new territory with all four members taking turns singing lead. The "Red Album" is the rarest of modern music combinations: being both immediate and having the quality of growing better upon each subsequent listen. Weezer's last album, Make Believe spurred the band's highest charting Top 40 single (#2) in "Beverly Hills," and had two #1 Modern Rock hits with "Beverly Hills" and "Perfect Situation. That album sold platinum in U.S.
