What is “one word, starts with a T, ends with an R and contains 12 letters”? That would be the title of the potential first single from Weezer’s sixth album, according to a post on the band's message board via frontman Rivers Cuomo. The post goes on to state, “the album is meaty, crunchy and melodic like a good Weezer album should be.”
As reported in November, the band stated on its website that “Weezer fans [will] truly have something to look forward to.” This highly anticipated follow up to 2005’s Make Believe should fill a void that long-time fans might have been left with after a single like “Beverly Hills.” Since that album, Cuomo has graduated from Harvard, gotten married and taken up meditation, in no particular order.
Only one song away from mastering the currently untitled album, expect to see this latest offering sometime in June. Hopefully we will hear this mysterious single even before then.
