 ==Overview==
-"Cold Dark World" is based on a bass riff of [[Scott Shriner]]'s that he used as a warm-up exercise.  When the other members of [[Weezer]] heard the riff, they expressed interest in it, and the band began to hash out an arrangement.  [[Rivers Cuomo]] realized he had some lyrics that would go perfectly with the music, and the co-written song between Shriner and Cuomo was born, with the former singing lead vocals.  Cuomo's lyrics were originally intended for a song with a brighter mood, but with Shriner's music and lead vocal, the end result was a creepier, dark feel.
+"Cold Dark World" originated from a bass riff written by [[Scott Shriner]], originally used as a warm-up exercise. The riff was expanded upon during sessions for the band's [[2008]] [[Weezer (The Red Album)|self-titled "Red Album"]]. [[Rivers Cuomo]] expanded upon the song and arrangement. Cuomo's lyrics were originally written to sound more "upbeat", but combined with the music of the song, the end result came out more "sinister" feeling.
-A mix of the song with Cuomo's lead vocals was released in October 2009 thru iTunes as part of the "[[Raditude]] Club".
+The lead vocal on the song is handled by Shriner, marking his lead vocal debut on a Weezer album. Cuomo has attempted the lead vocal as well, a fact which was not known until a mix of the song with Cuomo's lead vocals was released in October 2009 thru iTunes as part of the "[[Raditude]] Club".
