Check out what the band has in store...
Weezer is busy in the studio working on their fifth album. The set is still untitled, but is due out later this year or early 2005. They are hoping to finish recording in time for frontman Rivers Cuomo to start the fall semester at Harvard, which he last attended in 1997.
The band's site stresses the 12 "songs being recorded now are not 'brand new,' they have been worked up since early this year as demos, over the entire spring time, by Rivers. In some cases, they were developed from songs being worked on in '03, but underwent such changes as to now be totally distinct from their origins. Basically, these 12 songs are 'new', but 'new' means early and spring 2004 (not last week or whatever). Also, there is the possibility of trying some additional songs if there is time, and such material could be '04 or '03 stuff."
This album will be the follow-up to 2002's Maladroit, which debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200.
