In a frantic effort to redeem themselves (and their credibility) in the eyes of their fans, pop-saavy rockers Weezer are preparing a fourth studio album to follow-up their platinum selling third record Weezer (The Green Album).

Weezer has released over 30 songs through the band"s official website over the course of the last month. The songs themselves sonically range from acoustic laybacks to punked-out crunch all glazed with Cuomo"s unique sense of melody.
Weezer was released last May and debuted on the Billboard Top 200 in the fourth position. The band would go on to experience an internet backlash with a host of internet message board communities backlashing towards the tediously simplistic record.
In response to the fans" backlash, Rivers Cuomo and Co. have been releasing demos by the boatload through the band"s official website. The demos have been updated daily over the course of the past month with newer versions and recordings replacing old as the band either records them, or sees fit to release them.
In statements made by the band"s roadie Karl Koch via Weezer"s official website the band"s fourth as-yet untitled CD should hit shelves at the end of April.
Weezer will be launching another tour at the beginning of February with stops throughout the East Coast, and then they hop across the border for a brief stint in Canada. They will be taking Saves the Day, and Ozma along for the ride
Weezer then heads to Europe where they will spend much of March before they return stateside for pre-album promotions.
