Talking of working on new albums, Weezer have posted an update on their fifth studio album on their website. Reads thus: "While the main 12 songs are very close to completion (and may be in some cases truly completed) there is no way of knowing this for sure until everyone has had the chance to try everything they think may elevate the tracks. Of course that includes Rivers, who is now away at school for the semester. While everyone agrees that most of the tracks are very close, it may turn out that additional work will be needed."

"The upshot of all this is that the album probably won't be truly finished until after the holidays, which means it likely won't see release until Spring 05, given the several months the record label requires to prepare for an album's release...."
