Untitled seventh Weezer album

Recording
Knowledge of the album was first made public by Billboard.com, who reported that Weezer was to head into the studio in early November 2008 to record a seventh album. A YouTube post titled "Let's Write A Sawng: Step 16," uploaded on November 15, 2008, showed Rivers Cuomo in the studio with Jacknife Lee short-listing three songs from a list of 23, adding speculation to the recording of a seventh album or new b-sides. Later, the band specified in an interview for the Weenie Roast Festival that the new album will be released for summer 2009. In the interview, when each band member was asked what their favorite song of '09 was, Patrick Wilson replied, "In the Mall" by Weezer. Wilson wrote the song, but doesn't sing on it.
In May, webmaster Karl Koch revealed that the album has no set release date, and that band are going to record more material. He also revealed that Rivers Cuomo will be the sole lead vocalist on this album unlike their previous album.
In early Summer of 2009, session drummer Josh Freese joined Weezer as the percussionist, as Pat Wilson took over guitar duties for Rivers Cuomo. On July 24th, 2009 Weezer played 3 new songs live in Korea at the Jisan Valley Rock Festival entitled "Can't Stop Partying", "I'm Your Daddy", and "The Girl Got Hot". It is unknown if any of these songs will be on the new album. Cuomo's demo of "Can't Stop Partying" was released on Alone II in 2008. While performing "The Girl Got Hot" on July 26th, 2009 at the Fuji Rock Festival, Rivers Cuomo revealed that Weezer's seventh studio album will be released in October of 2009.
August 4, 2009, saw the final recording sessions of the album, while two days later mixing of the album began.
On August 14, 2009, MTV confirmed that the first single, "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" will be released on American rock radio on August 25
