Six months ago, we alerted you to Albumsix.com, and how it mysteriously re-routed visitors to Weezer.com, the official Web page of the band of the same name. After lead singer Rivers Cuomo told Rolling Stone that the band’s sixth album was due in April, we wondered whether Albumsix would finally reveal itself as a hoax or a legitimate site. Today, finally, came an answer. Visitors to the site now are greeted to two album plugs, one for Cuomo’s own Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo and the other for Weezer’s album six, which gets a release date complete with day of the month: April 22nd, 2008. Case closed.
UPDATE: Time to eat some crow. This was posted on Weezer’s official site on November 22nd:
Please note that Weezer and Geffen Records have no affiliation with www.albumsix.com. The new Weezer record is not called “Tout Ensemble” and there is no official release date yet for the album. Remember, when its on Weezer.com, its for sure. (Though I will say, “well played”, to the authors of that site.)
