'''The Fallen Soldiers''' (named by [[Karl Koch]] in reference to the fact that the songs did not make the ''[[Make Believe]]'' album) are a group of songs which were recorded for a fifth [[Weezer]] album, but ultimately scrapped in favor of the twelve that appear on ''[[Make Believe]]''. The "fallen soldiers" have since become somewhat of a holy grail for Weezer fans, akin to ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]'' and the [[Homie]] recordings. | |||

While the album grew, several songs fell by the wayside until Rivers finally had a somewhat clear idea of where he saw Weezer's next album heading. He tentatively was calling the album ''Either Way, I'm Fine''. However, shortly before the album was finalized and mixed, the band expressed that they saw a new direction for the album. | While the album grew, several songs fell by the wayside until Rivers finally had a somewhat clear idea of where he saw Weezer's next album heading.

''"Clearly, things were shifting rapidly. After practically forgetting about the recordings from Cello in 12/03, a group listening session with [[Rick Rubin]] revealed that they loved some of those recordings after all, and in fact a slew of the fall '04 work was tossed in favor of the earlier work. Of course, most of the old recordings had never had their proper overdub and final vocal work done on them, so the band got busy in Rick's home studio (and possibly another LA location) in February, hammering out what was needed to be finished."'' | ''"Clearly, things were shifting rapidly.
