Details of Weezer's forthcoming seventh album are coming in via Weezer's official website. However, the website's webmaster, Karl Koch, seems unwilling to 100% commit to any of the facts he's published, so we can't be too sure of any of this. I can tell you with some certainly that the first single from the album will be 'Pork And Beans' and will be released on 22 Apr in the US. The rest of the info, however, is qualified with 'likelihood ratings' from Koch.
The album will be eponymously titled ("very likely"). The album will be released in the US on 17 Jun ("very likely"). This album's colour theme (following on from the blue and green themes of the band's two previous eponymously titled LPs) will be red ("a strong possibility"). As well as 'Pork And Beans', the following songs will be on the album: 'Everybody Get Dangerous', 'Automatic', 'Ms. Sweeney', '?', 'I'm the Greatest Man That Ever Lived' and 'Daydreamer' ("All are real Weezer songs but none are 100% confirmed as actually being on the album").
Songs on the album have been culled from three separate recording sessions: the first with Rick Rubin in spring 2007; the second in Malibu in summer/autumn 2007 with the band producing themselves; and the third in Santa Monica early this year with Jacknife Lee. Rick Costey has applied his mixing magic to all the tracks.
In other Weezer news, frontman Rivers Cuomo has been writing a song with the help of fans through videos posted on YouTube. The song isn't finished yet. So, if you want to have some input, get yourself over to...
