'''''The Black Album''''' is the name jokingly given to an unmastered set of demos recorded by [[Weezer]], recorded between [[October 21]] and [[November 10]], [[2001]] at [[Steakhouse demos|Steakhouse Studios]] and [[Cello Demos|Cello Studios]] for the band's planned fourth album (that would eventually become the [[2002]] album ''[[Maladroit]]''). | |||
==Overview== | |||
As described by [[Karl Koch]] in the [[Recording History - Page 13#10/21/01 through 11/10/01 Steak House/Cello demos|Recording History]]: | |||
{{Karlify|Interspersed with a bunch of shows and other business, a new set of album-preparing demos was recorded, starting at the Steakhouse studio, and concluding at Cello Studios. (Cello details below). As can be seen, a lot of work was done, which resulted in what was tenatively called weezers next album at the time. Indeed the final product was jokingly referred to as "The Black Album" on the rough cd's, a reference to Weezers 'color' albums and Metallica's and Princes "Black Albums" (Jay-Z's wasnt out yet). The final mixes do stand together as a 12 song album quite nicely, but work continued into 2002, eventually arriving at the bands 4th album [[Maladroit]].}} | |||
