''Golden Nuggets'' was to contain 17 tracks spanning [[1993]] to [[2001]], including seven then-unreleased songs. All of these recordings would eventually see release over the next decade, with "[[Getting Up and Leaving]]" and the "[[Longtime Sunshine]]" coda mix not appearing until [[2011]]. Other songs came out as ''[[Green Album]]'' b-sides or on future retrospectives like {{PN|Rivers Cuomo}} [[Alone (series)|''Alone'' albums]] and the deluxe reissues of ''[[The Blue Album]]'' and ''[[Pinkerton]]''. | ''Golden Nuggets'' was to contain 17 tracks spanning [[1993]] to [[2001]], including seven then-unreleased songs.

By [[2008]], the idea of an album of unreleased material had changed into ''Odds And Ends'', later released as ''[[Death to False Metal]]'' in [[2011]]. That collection was curated and chosen by [[Rivers Cuomo|Rivers]] (in a few cases modifying the existing recordings to prepare them for release) and bears little resemblance to the track list of ''Golden Nuggets''.|Weezerpedia<ref>Karlophone.
