Drumroll, please... The name of the new Weezer album will be…Weezer!? Indeed, now half of the band’s six studio albums are self-titled. Of course, this information was released on a certain Foolish day recently, so maybe Weezer is just messing with us.
Either way, Weezer (the third) will be released June 17 on the band’s Geffen label. According to Billboard.com, frontman Rivers Cuomo has described the songs, produced by Rick Rubin, as "dark and deep and beautiful," and "definitely more sophisticated and adventurous. You'll hear very long songs ... and non-traditional structures."
By "adventurous," one might assume Cuomo is referring to one as-of-yet untitled track in which he and drummer Pat Wilson trade places, leaving Wilson with the mic and lead guitar and Rivers with the drum stool. But hey, only time will tell.
Well, there’s really only one question left to ask: what color will this one be?
