Unfortunate Weezer News

According to Weezer's PSA on their official website, the band has no plans of breaking up: "Now please, take those 'Weezer split?' headlines and place them firmly into the 'Don't believe the hype' bin. And have yourself a fine afternoon now."

Just when you thought Weezer was smarter than their last few albums might suggest, they go and screw it all up again. The man behind the band, Rivers Cuomo, had it right awhile back when he decided the band would be on 'indefinite hiatus.' Their music began suffering a long time ago, but at least they had the decency to abort, or at least discuss aborting, their overgrown baby. We never wanted to see them outgrow the minor majesty of their first two records, but they did and they continue to drown themselves in the decomposing placenta of the healthy young one that was the Blue Album. Weezer has become a small market machine for pre-teens with a penchant for nutmeg inhalation, and it's a sad state to see the band convince themselves its worth carrying the trend forward (or backward, depending on how you look at it.)
