by brittanybf and drewfontsLet's get it out of the way now: Weezer will never be better than Blue (or critic pick Pinkerton). Thirteen years ago, their sweaters came un-did, giving way to half-assed rap 'party' songs...Who saw that comin'? While parts of their latest album actually impressed us, that doesn't mean much. Prior to Raditude, it's been a good four albums of mediocrity from the band....

After the late 90s fad of rap/rock groups that annoyed just about everyone, I think it's safe to say music fans are still a little skeptical of what happens when the genres decide to collaborate. The latest oddball couple ready to mash-up styles are Weezer and Lil Wayne, who have both accumiliated a bit of goodwill in their respective genres. Here's what Rivers Cuomo told MTV News:"Weezer is al...

By now most people have heard that Weezer's sixth album will be the band's third self-titled effort in it's history. Like the previous self-titled albums, which have taken to the color scheme (i.e. The Blue Album, The Green Album), this one will definitely be referred to as The Red Album, according to the band.Producers on the new album include Rick Rubin, Jacknife Lee and the band itself. With...

Before I go into any specifics about the album, I have a quick disclaimer: If the only Weezer you will listen to is Pinkerton and The Blue Album, stay far, far away from Raditude. Case in point: Lil’ Wayne contributes a verse on one song. So, if Weezer’s lean toward the mainstream sickens [...]No related posts. Sorry.

Back in March Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo took to the Internet in hopes of recording a new tune. Cuomo's plan: create a song generated by fan input via YouTube video responses. Starting the project off Cuomo's shed some knowledge like there are "99 ways to write a song," (and the bitch ain't one?) and that he wanted the tune to be "fun, poppy and tough at the same time."To see the process in a...

Weezer fans will be able to enjoy the band's new and third self-titled effort sooner than expected. Perhaps worried that the album would leak, Weezer's label Interscope has pushed up the release date from June 24th to June 3rd. That leaves only a couple weeks before the world is accosted by frontman Rivers Cuomo's handlebar mustache. Yikes!Here’s a look at Weezer through the years (and colors)..

Weezer has been pulling everyone’s leg with this new album, the band's sixth, they’ve got coming out. First there was the "Sixth Album Web site,":http://www.albumsix.com/ which started a media frenzy, suggesting the new album would be called everything from Tout Ensemble to the Web site's uncreative namesake. It was all B.S.Now "sources are confirming":http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/in

Sure Weezer has been hootenanny-ing it up across the US, spreading music like they did during the days of the Orgon Trail and all, but now the band will finally head out on a tour like its 2008. The long haul is in support of their Red Album and starts September 23rd in Bean town. Angels & Airwaves and Tokyo Police Club are coming along for the ride giving you a bigger bang for your buck.I'm ho...

You know those Christmas Weezer jingles Rivers Cuomo told Billboard.com about last week? Well, they've finally surfaced on the iPhone of all places (Damn it! Now I want one now, despite the fact my little stubbly fingers act all short bus when I try to type on those suckers.) Weezer partnered up with Tapulous, who call themselves "the leading iPhone applications developer" (I'm guessing tap+f...
