In November 2003, in preparation for a fifth album, true [[Make Believe Demos|pre-production demos]] were recorded. Then in December, recording for an album began in earnest. Over the course of three separate sessions, many different songs, as well as different versions/mixes of songs, were committed to tape. These recordings differed rather strongly in sound from prior sessions, including the [[Album 5 Demos]], [[S.I.R. Demos]], and [[Acoustic Office Demos]]. These new recordings reflected a sound closer to what ''Make Believe'' would ultimately sound like. The band was indeed beginning to home in on a final recording. However, due to the band's constant recording and second-guessing, many recordings from these sessions did not actually end up on the album, and to this day remain unreleased. The crop of unreleased songs became know as [[The Fallen Soldiers]]. | In November 2003, in preparation for a fifth album, true [[Make Believe Demos|pre-production demos]] were recorded.

With [[Rick Rubin]] | In December 2003, afer completing a whirlwind round of recordings and rehearsals the previous month, Weezer checked into [[Cello Studios]] and began to record a fifth album. With [[Rick Rubin]] present, things went well. Committing songs to 2-inch, 24-track tape, and using Pro Tools to clean everything up, a host of songs were laid down. Despite the good vibes, the band soon decided that the results were not up to par, and set the recordings aside. Interestingly enough, Cello Studios closed its doors in early 2004, making Weezer one of the last artists to grace its hallowed halls. | ||
