Alternative pop icons Weezer will release their, currently untitled, seventh studio album on October 27th. The album’s first single is the long-winded “(If you’re wondering if I want you to) I want you to”, which will be available on August 25th.
Weezer webmaster Karl Koch also notes that the band are:
[continuing] their rehearsals for the upcoming tour with Blink-182. Some cool new material was gone over extensively and the whole set was run through multiple times in an effort to root out any problem areas. The process is going very well and continues tomorrow.
Upon hearing this news, I threw the band’s classic debut album, Weezer, on the stereo and basked in the crunchy four-piece of old. I love Weezer (hell, I even enjoy the controversial Maladroit), but I’m concerned for this new album. The tracks they’ve been debuting live lately have been, frankly, pretty darn’ bad. We’re talking “Beverly Hills” standards here.
However, in spite of this, I can’t help but feel excited. After all, it’s not everyday that a new Weezer album is issued, and even if it is universally despised by the band’s “loyal” fanbase (as per) it’ll be a talking point for sure. Roll on October!
