The untitled '''collaborative album by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and [[Matt Sharp]]''' is an unfinished project by the two musicians that has generated significant speculations and enthusiasm among [[Weezer]] fans. It was first alluded to by the pair at a [[Matt Sharp concert: 02/12/04 - Fullerton, CA|Matt Sharp concert]] in 2004, but never came to fruition. The project was short-lived and very little of it has surfaced.

According to [[Note to Fans from Matt Sharp - August 4, 2004|a letter that Sharp wrote]], the pair experienced "a quick and explosive creative period" in February of 2004. They purportedly worked on 15-16 "new song ideas" together. Aside from one title - "[[Time Song]]" - none of these have surfaced and no released or leaked songs from either songwriter has been linked to the abandoned project.

Surprising many fans, Cuomo joined Sharp on stage on [[February 12]], [[2004]] during a stop on Sharp's [[List of Matt Sharp concerts|solo acoustic tour]]. The pair played four songs together: "[[Mrs. Young]]," "Time Song," "[[Say It Ain't So]]," and "[[Undone - The Sweater Song]]." "Mrs. Young" is the pair's first formal collaboration, beginning as a Sharp-penned [[1993]] demo, originally written for Weezer. Cuomo assisted with the song's arrangement and the band considered it as a b-side, but it was never released. "Time Song" is a Sharp outtake, presumably written alongside the rest of his solo songs, whose first-known live performance was [[Matt Sharp concert: 10/23/03 - Nashville, TN|October 23, 2003]]. This performance of the song featured a new bridge, which, fans assume, was written by Cuomo.
