Despite the wholly unoriginal decision to name their latest effort after the colour of the album cover, (well, it’s officially self-titled), Weezer seems excited. And why shouldn’t they be? They haven’t released anything in ages and their new single ‘Pork and Beans’ is sitting pretty atop the Billboard Modern Rock chart. Anyway, the guys seem to have itchy trigger fingers because they have bumped up their new album release by a whopping three weeks to 3 June.

The official press release claims that the premature ejaculation is because ‘The streets can’t wait any longer.’ To us this sounds suspiciously like, ‘Everyone’s already downloaded it, let’s just get the gravy train going’.

Whatever. Here’s the official tracklist.

1. Troublemaker
2. The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn)
3. Pork and Beans
4. Heart Songs
5. Everybody Get Dangerous
6. Dreamin’
7. Thought I Knew
8. Cold Dark World
9. Automatic
10. The Angel and the One

Deluxe version bonus tracks:

11. Miss Sweeney
12. Pig 1
13. The Spider
14. King
