 Like ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]'', the Homie album is a holy grail for Weezer fans, often debating which album should be finished or released.  Unlike ''SFTBH'', many believe that the Homie album is actually finished and sitting in the Weezer archives.  Of course, this claim is unverified.  Others simply hope for the Homie demos Rivers recorded to be released.  Many fans joke about the album comparing it to Brian Wilson's legendary ''SMiLE'' project, and say that "Rivers will probably finish it when he's older and his voice is shot."  In 2006, [[User:Ohjonas (admin)|ohjonas]] went so far as to make cover art for the Homie album, parodying the "SMiLE" artwork.  Since then, Homie has often been spelled "HOMiE".
-Unfortunately, the actual Homie album may never see the light of day.  Despite this, some Homie songs have been leaked or released, but none are recordings from the actual era.  "Wanda (You're My Only Love)",  and "Longtime Sunshine" were both released on ''[[Alone]]'', but in their original incarnations rather than in their Homie form.  Furthermore, "I'll Think About You" is scheduled to appear on ''[[Alone II]]'', but also in its original, pre-Homie form.

-It is likely that all previously existing songs that were recorded by Homie were altered significantly.  There are only two songs for which fans have original versions and Homie versions: "Hot Tub" and "Wanda (You're My Only Love)".  In both cases, the songs were given a more 'goofball' sound.  In "Hot Tub", the entire bridge was rewritten.  In conclusion, even if the songs are heard, it is likely that almost half will not be heard in their Homie form.
 On [[February 20]], [[2009]], [[Albumsix]] boardies The Lifetaker and runnersdialzero released a [[HOMiE - Volume 1|ten track cover album]] of  Homie songs, as well as other scrapped songs from the Homie era shows.
