Apparently, this album is going to be the "yellow album", and the first single is titled "(If you're wondering if I want you to) I want you to". It comes out August 25th. With that being the title of the first single, things really don't seem that promising.

I love SOME Weezer, but it should surprise no one that their career has taken this direction. Right from the beginning, Rivers gave every indication that it would: "My favorite rock group, Kiss..." - "In the Garage"

Weezer's one of those bands that gets this insanely generous free pass from fans who breast fed to Blue & Pink. Part of that free pass is the bashing that goes to songs like these - while it might seem rough, the level of complaining is way, way more restrained than if it were some no name band. And I think it's because we all desperately hope that somewhere, somehow, Weezer will shine again.

But they won't. I remember hearing how proud Cuomo was that he had dissected every Green Day & Nirvana song in some sort of notebook, complete with chord progressions and song structures. And I swear, from Green on, Cuomo's songs sound like they were written by a guy who dissects songs.

Speaking of free passes, Stereogum seems to LOVE weezer, for some god knows why reason.
