Seven of the 24 songs were released for free on [[weezer.com]]. Recording personnel involved included [[Bobby Schneck]] (guitar tech)<ref name="KC 08/29/01">[[Karl's Corner - 08/29/2001]]</ref>, [[Atom Willard]] (drum tech)<ref name="KC 08/29/01" />, and [[Joe Barresi]] (engineer)<ref>[[Karl's Corner - 08/31/2001]]</ref> were present during the sessions.

Cuomo's personal assistant [[Sheeny Bang]] said of the sessions:

{{Quote box||''In what I'm beginning to learn as true Weezer fashion, our "down time" was spent with the guys demo-ing six new songs in the first day of a three day session. They should have started around 2pm but there were some massive technical difficulties with what sounded like everything. [[Bobby Schneck|Bobby]] and [[Atom Willard|Adam]] had a busy day trying to get everything up and running and Rivers finally got the call to come down to the studio around 7pm. They were all set up so it was literally minutes between walking in the door and then the tapes rolling. Everyone at the studio was amazed with the speed that the guys worked at, and in what seemed like no time they were done. The songs sounded great and it was cool to hear them in a near to final stage after following a few of them from their birth.''|[[Sheeny Bang]]|[[weezer.com]] post<ref>''weezer.com'' 29 August 2001.
