Featuring tracks the band originally began recording from the late '90s to late '00s, Death To False Metal was a labor of love for Cuomo and his co-producer [[Shawn Everett]], as well as the entire band. Each track was individually evaluated by the production team of Cuomo and Everett to figure out how to make each of the songs reach their full potential, and ultimately fit harmoniously on the album. After that process, they then brought in each band member in to complete the parts needed. Some of the ten songs received a major overhaul, while others got the equivalent of a sonic tune-up. | Featuring tracks the band originally began recording from the late '90s to late '00s, Death To False Metal was a labor of love for Cuomo and his co-producer [[Shawn Everett]], as well as the entire band.

As they went through the steps of composing a tune, eventually, 15 people became involved. This track is one of only two songs not solely penned by Weezer for Death To False Metal. | ||
"[[Blowin' My Stack]]," "[[Losing My Mind]]" (which features some of the most raw and personal emotions in a Weezer song), "[[I'm A Robot]]," and a rock cover of the massive R&B hit "[[Unbreak My Heart|Un-Break My Heart]]" were all first recorded prior to the release of [[2005|2005's]] [[Make Believe]].

"[[I Don't Want Your Loving]]" was originally laid down as a demo for [[2002|2002's]] [[Maladroit]]. The abrasive punk-metal "[[Everyone]]" hails from post-[[1998]] [[Pinkerton]] period, as does the pop song "[[Trampoline]]." The piano-based "[[The Odd Couple|Odd Couple]]" and new-wave-style "[[Autopilot|Auto-Pilot]]" were laid down prior to [[2008|2008's]] Weezer (aka "[[The Red Album]]"). | ||
The title Death To False Metal comes from a phrase that Cuomo and his [[Leaves Cuomo|younger brother]] used when they were kids. Musical integrity was a matter of life or death then, and now the new album is a reminder of how important music is for both Weezer and their many fans. At a time when many of their contemporaries seem to have forgotten how to rock, Weezer is ready to teach them. Cuomo and fellow axe-slinger Brian Bell crafted nine epic guitar solos-one for nearly every song on Death To False Metal-and with the band's signature hooks in full effect, Weezer's school of rock is back in session. | The title Death To False Metal comes from a phrase that Cuomo and his [[Leaves Cuomo|younger brother]] used when they were kids.
