'''''Songs from the Black Hole''''' (or '''''SFTBH''''') is an unreleased, unfinished [[Weezer]] album. This space themed rock opera/musical was originally envisioned as the follow-up album to ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|The Blue Album]]'', but during the course of songwriting/demoing, the concept was discarded, and the project evolved into the album ''[[Pinkerton]]''. Several of the ''SFTBH'' songs ended up on ''Pinkerton'' or as single b-sides, some of which were slightly altered lyrically or sonically. ''SFTBH'' was, in the words of songwriter [[Rivers Cuomo]] was, "supposed to be a whole album of songs transed together," meaning a seamless flow from one song to the next (previous examples of this technique include the closing medley of [[The Beatles]]' ''Abbey Road'' and various Pink Floyd albums including ''The Dark Side of the Moon'', ''The Wall'', and ''Wish You Were Here''). | '''''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''''' (or '''''SFTBH''''') is an unreleased, unfinished [[Weezer]] album.
