Albumsix.com, as Allthingsweezer was originally known, started off as a single home page with a mysterious image reading "Album Six, Coming Soon", which linked to the official Weezer website. Shortly after it began to gain steam, [[Karl Koch]] posted in [[Karl's Corner]] that he "honestly had no idea" what it was about. Later, Albumsix broke the news of ''[[Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]'' almost immediately after [[Rivers Cuomo|Cuomo]] himself had, leading many to first get their news of the album from Albumsix and not Cuomo's MySpace page. | Albumsix.com, as Allthingsweezer was originally known, started off as a single home page with a mysterious image reading "Album Six, Coming Soon", which linked to the official Weezer website.
