Rivers Cuomo that famous singer of Weezer has a new CD out tomorrow (Dec 18th) called Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo. There's about five songs on the album that was meant for Songs from the Black Hole, that infamous album that was meant to follow their self-titled debut album.

I'm still unsure why those songs were dropped, they were quite good. I've included "Superfriend" that was meant for Black Hole. It contains the usual Rivers theme of love and "bestest friend". There's definitely the same feel as songs from Pinkerton (which is my all-time favorite Weezer album, by the way).

The other songs off this album were demo version meant for Blue album, including "Buddy Holly". It's interesting to hear that rough cut (as bad as the sound quality), before it was finally made it to the studio version.

"I Was Made For You" is easily the best song. The lyrics are themes we've seen on other Weezer songs, that is the only weakness to this song. The song I was thinking of is "El Scorcho", where the main chorus is: "I think I'd be good for you/And you'd be good for me" (I know there are a ton of songs that has those lyrics of "I was made for you, you were made for me", but this was the closest Weezer lyrics).

 

Weezer - Christmas Song

If you're a casual Weezer fan, I wouldn't recommend this CD to you. You're better off getting the blue album or Pinkerton (this album takes a few listen to before you really appreciate it). If you're already a Weezer fan, definitely get Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo.

As a special bonus, since it is so close to the Christmas Holiday, I'm also including "Christmas Song" which was a Radio Promo. The b-side to this EP is "Christmas Celebration", which originally appeared on the single to Photograph.

Also, check out I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams, the only Weezer song that's actually not sung by Rivers Cuomo.  This song was meant for Songs from the Black Hole.
