According to a rather lengthy update from Weezer, their as-yet untitled seventh album is "pretty close to a wrap now (after a mild false alarm back in the spring)." The band expects to announce the release date and title in the coming months, as well as the album's first single and video, as long as they can keep the in-fighting to a minimum.
Weezer also briefly mention plans to release a deluxe reissue of Pinkerton. Unfortunately, they didn't provide any details except for this limp line: "at last -- if all goes as planned."
Yes, pretty slim on the meat. Instead, the lengthy post primarily discusses Guitar Center, an 8-bit Weezer album, their mailing list, Michael Cera in Paper Heart, a tribute show, The Rentals, Twitter, and... Sugar Ray:
Upcoming new Sugar Ray album Music For Cougars includes their cover of a song recorded but never released by Weezer, "Love Is The Answer". The original Weezer version of the song remains in the Make Believe era vaults, but now Sugar Ray's version will be available as of July 21, when their album drops.
Now that I've spared you from reading the lengthy post yourself, please do me a favor and go listen to whatever it is the kids are listening to these days and enjoy life to its fullest! I want all of you to have the opportunities that I didn't have since I wasted so much of my life reading that post.
