New Weezer Album in the Works

By now, everyone knows about Weezer. You either love them or hate them, but regardless of your feelings, they just won't quit. Weezer made two of my favorite records of all time (The "Blue" album and "Pinkerton") and then slowly faded into mediocrity. Their last two albums (as far as I'm concerned) were complete flops and an easy cash in on a beloved band. Hopefully, Weezer is going to get back to their roots on the newly anounced "Red" album. Weezer has this habit of releasing an album with only a background color (such as blue, green, and now red) and then an album with an actual name (Pinkerton, Maladroit). It is good to see them continuing this tradition with the newly announced "Red" album, but I personally have very mixed feelings. Weezer has a lot of ground to cover to woo old fans back into their music, and let's hope they've done their homework. However, the new album artwork has me a bit worried...Let's hope they can finally redeem themselves when the album is released. Good luck Weezer, you desperately need it.
