In spring [[2005]], between recording and post-production work on the [[Weezer]] album ''[[Make Believe]]'', '''[[the Special Goodness]] recorded, mixed, and mastered a full-length studio album'''. The album featured [[Atom Willard]] on drums and Weezer member [[Scott Shriner]] on bass. Late into production it was scrapped in its entirety by [[Patrick Wilson]], citing dissatisfaction with its overall sound. No audio from the album has ever been publicly released. | |||
Work on a fourth Special Goodness album began in June [[2004]]. Around 15 songs were in contention to be worked into album tracks, some of which had been written for consideration as [[Weezer]] songs, and others which were borrowed from previous Special Goodness albums and recordings. [[Joe Barresi]], who had worked with the band on their previous album ''[[Land Air Sea]]'' in [[2003]], returned to produce the album. [[Atom Willard]], having recently completed a tour with [[the Offspring]], would additionally return on drums and Weezer bassist [[Scott Shriner]], who had played with the Special Goodness live on prior tours, would make his debut appearance on a studio recording with the band. | |||
On [[January 5]], [[2006]], Wilson wrote a blog post summarizing his experiences over the previous year recording for the Special Goodness and working with Weezer. He explained some criticism he had with the unreleased album: "the songs were basically an excuse to shred on the instruments which ultimately was unsatisfying". Having gained new perspective during Weezer's recent touring, Wilson indicated a desire to move the Special Goodness in a new direction. No mention was made of progress on the recorded album's material. | |||
Finally, in a blog post on [[January 24]], Wilson formally announced that the album had been shelved. | |||
