Build Me Up, Let Me Down

As has been oft referenced by me on this site and others, I’ve been a bit of a Weezer fan in my life.

With the release of their first single of their next album (Weezer, aka The Red Album), I kinda got excited.

Then they put out the official press release for the album, announcing 2 versions of the album (standard with 10 tracks, and deluxe with 14 tracks)…and this possibly damming line…

Great albums are culminations of the past with an eye to the future, and the Red Album has parts “Blue Album,” “Pinkerton,” and forges new territory with all four members taking turns singing lead. The “Red Album” is the rarest of modern music combinations: being both immediate and having the quality of growing better upon each subsequent listen.

…they’ve invoked the HOLY TWO!! EXCITEMENT AT AN ALL TIME HIGH!!

And then, there’s the album art.

….excitement dropped.

Does Red=Blue?

Over the past few months, the interweb has been abuzz over the next Weezer album, due this summer.

After becoming internet darlings after the release of Pinkerton, Weezer has had a dedicated fanbase that has been outspoken towards the changes in their sound featured in the albums since, the 2001 self titled release (nicknamed ‘The Green Album’), 2002’s Maladroit, and 2005’s Make Believe, an album that many thought was a return to form.

However, word started to leak that this next release was to be the album fans have been waiting over a decade for. Named Weezer once again (nicknamed “The Red Album”) , fans have been foaming at the mouth for something, anything to leak.

Thank Amazon, kids. A sample of the first single, “Pork And Beans” is available here.

…is that the Blue album I hear? One can only hope.

Weezer (2007), aka The Red Album, is due this June.
