Weezer - Ambrosia (2006)

 

1. Me and My Posse (Intro)
2. Simple Fisherman
3. Purple Flowers
4. Everybody Wants a Chance to Feel All Alone
5. Holding Me Back
6. Prodigy Lover
7. The Victor
8. Sacrifice
9. The Organ Player
10. Why Oh Why
11. Set Me Right
12. Over the Mountain

Ok now that we're exhausted from checking out the Green Album demos, let's check out the Make Believe demos! And the time period from Maladroit to Make Believe is just as exhausting as the one from Pinkerton to the Green Album! Some of these songs came from the Album 5 demos from 2002 which mostly appear on my Homecoming album. Some of the other songs are from the unreleased album Unchained Melody which I talked about in my Black Album post.

Weezer - Somnambulist (2002)



1. Trampoline
2. I Don't Wanna Bust My Heart
3. With My Own Two Hands
4. Rosemary
5. American Girls
6. O Girl
7. Preacher's Son 
8. Every Night
9. On the Edge
10. Too Late to Try

While on tour in 2000, Weezer put out a semi-official album of work-in-progress songs called Summer Songs of 2000. Some of the songs would later end up on Maladroit, as well as the cover being an alternate cover for it, but by this point it's 2002 and some of these songs were recorded in 1998. After 6 albums of outtakes for one album it's starting to get tiring.

Weezer - Other Side of the Sun (2001)

 

1. Oh Lisa
2. Sugar Booger
3. Starlight
4. Teenage Victory Song
5. Brightening Day
6. Everybody Go Away
7. I Hear Bells
8. New Joint
9. Everyone
10. I Wish You Luck
11. Hole in Time

In 2001, after 5 years of waiting, Weezer finally released their third album at 28 minutes long. It's pretty short, but after 5 years the band accumulated a lot of demos during that time. Whereas the Purple Album is made up of demos from the Green Album, Other Side of the Sun tries to be the theoretical other half of the album that would make it about an hour long, including B-sides and other demos. Everybody Go Away, I Hear Bells, and Everyone would get released later on.

Weezer - The Purple Album (2000)

 

1. Pleased to Meet You
2. It's a Game
3. Coal Miner
4. Gimme Something
5. Mr. Docksider
6. Sweet Talk
7, Possessed, Obsessed
8. I Can't Live
9. You're Fun to Play With
10. Let's Get Mellow

In looking for Green Album demos to combine with whatever Black Room demos I had left to make a fourth entry to this series, I actually had enough material for three more albums, so here's at least one of them. These are technically Green Album demos and not Black Room demos. The cover was based on a rejected design for the Green Album. There was also consideration into releasing a Purple Album in 2012, but it never happened.

Weezer - Herbert (1999)


1. Go Leia
2. Daddy's Girl
3. Sepultura
4. Bonfire
5. Somebody Save Me
6. One More Time
7. Smokin' Crack
8. C'mon Siobhan
9. You Got Me
10. I Hip
11. Left Foot Down
12. When Situations Piss You Off

Here's another batch of songs from Weezer's Black Room demos. I always thought that the Alone series entry for the Green Album demos was one of the smallest, but one commenter pointed out that if you count the Black Room demos as being part of the Green Album demos then it's actually one of the biggest! Each entry in this series could basically be a copy of the Green Album, but I think the demos could offer one more album.

Weezer - The Black Hole (1999)

 

1. Suicide Pilot
2. I Don't Need You
3. Labrador
4. Homeless
5. Movie Theater
6. Ayleen
7. It Used to Be Mine
8. Kilimanjaro
9. French Pop
10. Sixth Xmas
11. Crazy One

This doesn't actually have anything to do with Weezer's unreleased album Songs From the Black Hole. This is actually more tracks from the Black Room demos. There were hundreds of songs recorded during this time so I thought I'd put together another batch of them. The original album focused on the Catalog of Riffs demos with two tracks from the TK demos Socialite and Girl's Soccer. There was another batch of recordings in that file called the TKX demos which could be their own album, but I used two of them I Don't Need You and It Used to Be Mine. Also Crazy One was released on the first Alone.

Weezer - Supernova (1998)

 

1. Waiting on You
2. Devotion
3. I Swear It's True
4. You Gave Your Love to Me Softly
5. I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams
6. You Won't Get With Me Tonight
7. Getting Up and Leaving
8. Superfriend
9. Long Time Sunshine
10. Tragic Girl

Here's an album of demos based on Weezer's second album Pinkerton. The album itself was based on an unreleased album called Songs From the Black Hole, and although I made an album with a similar name, neither that one nor this one have anything to do with it. All the songs can be found on the deluxe edition of Pinkerton except for Superfriend which was released on Alone.
