There have been rumors. Mysterious whispers seeping from mouths under thick-rimmed glasses and pouring from windows of secluded graffiti-covered coffee shops.
Let's put the mystery to rest. The members of Weezer have confirmed that they will be releasing their next studio album April 22, 2008. At the moment, the band's new baby is sans name and only being referred to as “Album Six,” but don’t let this lack of a title fool you. The band is confident in the new project, stating on its official website that “Weezer fans [will] truly have something to look forward to.” That’s saying a lot considering the band's previous album, Make Believe, was hit with decidedly mixed reviews.
Don’t want to wait until spring to hear Rivers Cuomo singing unrequited love songs through your iPod stereo? Have no fear. As previously reported, the Weezer frontman has been working on a solo project, Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo, which is slated for release on Dec. 11.
