The manner in which Weezer have gone about spreading word of their new album has been nothing short of immaculate – information and misinformation emerging in dribs and drabs from the band’s camp since late last autumn. Now, with this, the seventh news story run on the self-titled effort, DrownedinSound can put this thing to bed.
Weezer will be released in the UK on the 30th of June and it’ll be beaten out by lead single ‘Pork and Beans’ by a week on the 23rd. Both arrive through Geffen via Polydor.
Produced by Jacknife Lee, the band’s third self-titled album is their sixth in total and it’s already being referred to as ‘the red album’ by virtue of this album art.

Wrong, it's their sixth.
Additionally, I DEMAND that you give them the same treatment thatRadiohead receive, no less than 5 stories per day, every day right up until the release date...and beyond!
Unless of course, you're refusing to acknowledge
the existence of Make Believe in which case respec'.
LOL
i was just gonna leave a comment saying "ahem...you mean, it's their FIFTH album?"
:D
Jacknife Lee
oh no...... I don't like what he does to bands.... cant he go back to making big beat or is there no money in that or something?
i had heard
that they did three batches of songs - self-produced ones, Rick Rubin and Jacknife Lee. So I dunno if they scrapped the other songs or DiS misread something.
well if it aint all Jacknife
then that could be better. I'm looking forward to this anyway, I'm sure the tunes will bring it thru.
I'M A COWBOY!
this is interesting reading:

i'm actually sorta looking forward to it now.
This is dubious reading:
"Ms. Sweeney"' was named by Cuomo, along with "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived," as a track which features rapped vocals.
Those damn cowboys and their hip-hops.
The more I see that cover
the more I fall in love with it.
poor
