Weezer announce groundbreaking new album title: 'Weezer'


Weezer will release their sixth studio album on June 17. And you'll never guess the name of it.

Taking a break from creative titles like 2005's Make Believe and 2002's Maladroit, this one will share the same name as the band's first and third album  — Weezer. This has to be another April Fools' joke? Nope. "It's going to be self-titled," the band's publicist confirmed to Buzznet on Tuesday.

The sixth album will also be known as the "red album," according to Rolling Stone.

Weezer
's first release features all four band members in front of a blue backdrop, while green was the color of choice for their third record. There is no word on if all four members will grace the cover once again.

Weezer is due on June 17 with the probable first single to be a track called "Pork and Beans," according to RollingStone.com. "We put a lot of emphasis on blowing our minds with creative freakouts," Rivers Cuomo exclaimed when describing the new album, RollingStone.com reports.

I excited to see Weezer is coming out with a new album. They have been one of my favorite band for what seems like forever. Though they may not be the most creative in naming albums I love them all the same. (Although, just for the record I hated “Beverly Hills”)

SOOO excited. I always thought the Blue album and the Green album were their best work. Hopefully Red will live up to that. :)

brightly colored self-titled albums are the new in thing. it's what all the cool kids are doing.
i'm glad they're coming out with a new album. and since the other self-titled releases were so amazing, maybe this one will be too. stick with what works.

Weezer...NUFF SAID! And it's DEF good enough for me!!! :)

OF course it will live up to the hype, I haven't been dissappointed yet

(While "Beverly Hills" has been played out, it used to be a good song, until radio wore it out!!!)

aww I liked when they released albums on my birthday.. (blue album and make believe) it made me feel like they were giving me a present. but I guess this has to be a belated present, I am really excited about their new album even though make believe wasn't as great..

they really are going through the colors arent they?
what's next? the magenta album?
