Someone from the Weezer board compiled a bunch of songs that were intended for the unreleased "Songs From the Black Hole" album along with some other tracks and edited them to all flow into each other creating an album like experience.

It's no lie that Weezer's Songs from the Black Hole is probably the greatest lost album hardly anyone has ever heard, and it will remain that way unless Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo decides to do something about it. Well, I decided I wasn't patient enough to wait for him, so I took matters into my own hands to edit and compile what I think could've been a realistic take on this album.

Since many pivotal recordings remain unreleased, I took some liberties in a few places, using some of Rivers' demos that weren't necessarily associated with SFTBH, as well as some later Weezer material, Pinkerton tracks, B-sides, and a few covers I managed to find on the internet.  I tried my best to flesh out the album wherever I could, and I also tried my best to combined both track listings from the original SFTBH demos to recreate the plot that Rivers had intended. I think it works surprisingly well.

To top it all off, I've also edited the songs so that they flow seamlessly into each other, since that's another thing Rivers originally had in mind. I think it's one of the coolest aspects of this album, and it definitely helps you hear just how amazing this project was going to be. Trust me, it was (and hopefully still is) going to be amazing. And as long as Rivers Cuomo is still alive and kicking, so will the greatest space rock opera the world has never heard.

By the way, everything here is copyrighted to Weezer. If you have enjoyed this album, I highly encourage you to pick up some Weezer records if you don't already own them. The same goes for Rivers Cuomo's solo demo compilation "Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo", which has helped shed a lot of light on the mystery and mystique of SFTBH.

Enjoy this album, and KEEP THE ROCK!

Don't get me started about Songs from the Black Hole. Which "Weezer board" did you get that from? There's lots of them.

SFTBH has never fully been released - they are demos that never were finished, some songs I dont think were even recorded but a lot of the songs actually turned into songs on Pinkerton (like Tired of Sex) or B-sides (like I Just Threw Out The Love of My Dreams which is sung by Rachel Haden who now plays with the Rentals - the original =w= bassist Matt Sharps solo band and they played that song live last summer it was great!). Over the past 2 years more and more songs were released from it in a variety of ways - including the long awaited Superfriend and Who You Calling Bitch? on Rivers' Alone demo CD.


Blast Off! is my favorite, and actually it's one of my favorite =w= songs ever. About 4 years ago maybe 6, someone hacked into Rivers' computer and got a hold of the song and leaked it on the web. Weezer.com responded to it by actually posting it for download. it was insane!


I know far too much about Weezer.
