You could say Weezer has been busy lately. Rivers Cuomo's solo release came out in January, Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo, which didn't bog down the band jumping on the opportunity to keep working on new material. If you missed this album, its a matter of life or death you check out "Lover In The Snow". As for the rest of the album, I can't rave - as far as home recordings go, what you think you're getting, is what you're getting: home recordings.
Perhaps Cuomo's home recordings album was the perfect transition, since Rivers' seems to always be working on new music - he has a backcatalogue of reportedly over 800 demos he recorded which he has yet to release. The band has been busy the last couple months recording and now working on the final mixes for their new album, which fans have been calling "Album Six". Creative, huh?
The new album will feature some non-traditional Weezer additives, such as drum machines, synthesizers and Southern Rap (listen to "This Is The Way" from Cuomo's Home Recordings), and will even feature vocals from band members other than Cuomo. We'll add this to the long running list of albums we just can't wait for this summer. Album Six will be Weezers' first release since Make Believe in 2005. From their Official Website:
Hey Weezer punks. We have one song left to mix and then it’s on to mastering. We should be all done very soon. Then we chill for a minute.
The album will be out in June so with any luck you will hear a new Weezer song on the radio soon. I think I know which song is the first single but I’m not sure so I can’t tell you. I’ll give you some hints, though. It’s one word, starts with a T, ends with an R and contains twelve letters. You should be able to figure it out because you’re smart li’l Weezer fans.
The album is meaty, crunchy and melodic like a good Weezer album should
be.
Peace out,
Rivera
