After reports suggested that Weezer would be back in the studio by November, guitarist Brian Bell suggested that this isn't actually the case via Spinner.com:

Someone jumped the gun. We're still going to focus on promoting the 'Red' album, and when we have the songs and the time feels right, we'll record. [The dynamic] within the band has shifted towards being more collaborative, and a safer place for people to bring ideas to and actually be heard.

The band released The Red Album in 2008.
