The Weezer Recording Chronology (WRC) is an attempt by Weezerpedia to create a successor to the Recording History, a detailed list of every demo, bootleg, and studio recording by the band Weezer and any directly associated bands, written by Karl Koch from the years of 2000 to 2011. Pages are separated by years.

This page details the year 2002. It contains the recording of Maladroit, demos for Weezer's fifth album, and events and recordings that led up to them.

Maladroit recording sessions, December 16, 2001–February 3, 2002

Album cover
Main article: Maladroit

For Maladroit, the band decided to produce the album themselves, albeit with additional help from Rod Cervera and Chad Bamford. During recording, the band would post in-progress MP3s to the band's website. This resulted in the creation of the Rivers Criticism Board for fans to discuss the new recordings, but it was renamed to the Rivers Correspondence Board after Rivers Cuomo himself joined the forum (under the username "ace", a nod to KISS guitarist Ace Frehley). Cuomo grew quite frustrated with the fans' constant criticism, even re-writing the lyrics to "Space Rock" to express this frustration.

about this table
Karlification!

As the band recorded, they posted their progress as mp3s on the website, giving fans a nearly unprecidented look at the making of an album, and inspiring a healthy dialogue between the fans and the band via the various communication techniques afforded by the internet. The following is a list of the songs, mp3'd in progress, as they went up. This list is the most accurate possible look at the albums creation, as everything that was in contention was posted whenever it had significant changes made, and those songs that ended up not making the cut were left in their unfinished state that is represented by their last dated rough mix mp3.

—Karl Koch, Weezer Recording History, Page 13


Earliest album 5 demos, February 2002

These demos are some of the first glimpses into Weezer's fifth album. They were recorded at an unknown studio while Maladroit was being mixed. It's not clear at the moment whether they're full-band Weezer recordings or just Cuomo solo demos.

in between the Hyper Extended Midget Tour and the Spring '02 Europe tour, the band recorded new material, with the intention of getting a start on their 5th album before the 4th (Maladroit) was even released! None of these songs or recordings made it to the 5th album, creating yet another set of well recorded demos. Listed below are what songs were worked on that day. Many takes of each song were tried.

More Album 5 demos done before the release of Maladroit. Rod Cervera and Chad Bamford reprised their positions on Maladroit as co-producers and engineers and Bobby Schneck reprised his role on the Green album as the guitar tech.
