-The '''Album 5 Demos''' are a collection of songs recorded in [[2002]] for the band's planned fifth album. All of the demos from this period were ultimately scrapped, though elements from certain songs were reworked for future songs. Weezer's actual fifth album, ''[[Make Believe]]'', would not see release until [[2005]].
+'''Recording History''' is the name of an extensive chronological overview of demo and studio recordings made by [[Weezer]] or by individual band members from the late 80s to 2005. It was compiled by [[Karl Koch]] and originally introduced in [[2000]] on weezer.net (the official website's predecessor), where it was titled ''Weezer and it's "cousins": a recording history''. It was later part of the info section on [[weezer.com]] until 2014. Over the years it had been updated and expanded. The last update was made in [[2011]] after the release of the deluxe edition reissue of ''[[Pinkerton]]'' and the (re)discovery of the song "[[Tragic Girl]]".<br>
+In 2016 the Recording History was added to [[Weezerpedia]] and there are plans by Karl to update, correct, and possibly re-structure it.
-The first batch of demos, with some being recorded before ''Maladroit's'' release, reflect the band's earliest attempts at a fifth album. These sessions broke a lot of new ground, including [[Rivers Cuomo]] inviting other members to contribute and sing songs, an increased use of keyboards and organs, and reflecting a songwriting style by Cuomo which focuses more on storytelling and less on his own feelings.  Also, a few [[SS2K]] songs were recalled for the sessions.  In an [[AIM chat with Rivers Cuomo - January 8, 2002|AIM chat]] with Rivers Cuomo on [[January 8]], [[2002]], Cuomo described the sound of Weezer's fifth album as "a combination of ''[[The Green Album]]'' and ''[[Pinkerton]]'', if that's possible! And some ''[[Maladroit]]''.  But really it's a new different style."
