"[[Turning Up The Radio]]" is the result of Cuomo's [[2008]] collaborative YouTube project, "[[Let's Write A Sawng]]," for which he invited fans to submit ideas. As they went through the steps of composing a tune, eventually, 15 people became involved.  This track is one of only two songs not solely penned by Weezer for Death To False Metal.

"[[Blowin' My Stack]]," "[[Losing My Mind]]" (which features some of the most raw and personal emotions in a Weezer song),  "[[I'm A Robot]]," and a rock cover of the massive R&B hit "[[Un-Break My Heart]]" were all first recorded prior to the release of [[2005|2005's]] [[Make Believe]]. "[[I Don't Want Your Loving]]" was originally laid down as a demo for [[2002|2002's]] [[Maladroit]].  The abrasive punk-metal "[[Everyone]]" hails from post-[[1998]] [[Pinkerton]] period, as does the pop song "[[Trampoline]]."  The piano-based "[[Odd Couple]]" and new-wave-style "[[Auto-Pilot]]" were laid down prior to [[2008|2008's]] Weezer (aka "[[The Red Album]]").

The title Death To False Metal comes from a phrase that Cuomo and his [[Leaves Cuomo|younger brother]] used when they were kids.  Musical integrity was a matter of life or death then, and now the new album is a reminder of how important music is for both Weezer and their many fans.  At a time when many of their contemporaries seem to have forgotten how to rock, Weezer is ready to teach them.  Cuomo and fellow axe-slinger Brian Bell crafted nine epic guitar solos-one for nearly every song on Death To False Metal-and with the band's signature hooks in full effect, Weezer's school of rock is back in session.
