Brian Bell of Weezer recently posted an update on the band's upcoming sixth album. The record has been the source of much speculation but little concrete information has actually surfaced in the past few months. Bell explained:

Greetings fellow Weezer–ites. We'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years. And it's going to be a very happy one because album six is finished and personally I think it's our best yet. Never have the four of us worked so hard and passionately on an album and we all look forward to performing this culmination of our talents and combined knowledge in 2008 in a city near you!

Prior to confirmations that the band was recording the album, many had assumed that the band was set to disband. Their last album, Make Believe was released in 2005.
