In case you were not aware Rivers Cuomo has an album entitled “Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo” which drops exactly one month from today on December 18. Expect some greatness from this upcoming album as Rivers appears to be one of the most prolific writers of this modern music era. There are allegations that Rivers writes well over one hundred songs for each Weezer album and then only chooses what he thinks are the best ten to fourteen tracks for the final pressings.
In other news Weezer will have their sixth studio album out in the Spring of 2008. So if you’re not really into the unedited yearnings of a Harvard grad then you can always wait until his three buddies join him on what is sure to be a romp through romance, failures, the trials of life, and the slow maturation of little boys into men.
These tracks included below hail from Weezer’s third studio album which was self titled but is mainly referred to as The Green Album (iTunes). Hearkening back to their roots with The Blue Album these tracks found the band splashing away merrily with a sound and a vibrancy that most fans and critics adored from the start. It’s a short album but all the trademarks are still apparent. Falsetto harmonies, a massive wall of guitar sound, and some well written guitar licks apply to almost the entire album from start to finish. For those people who had never heard of Weezer 2004 was a good year to start liking the band.
