After recording "American Girls", the three remaining Weezer members announced on an LA Radio station interview that they were done with their side projects for the time being. The band reconvened in Los Angeles and began recording in a professional studio. Despite having no bass player, the band recorded "The Prettiest Girl in the Whole Wide World" twice and "Baby". Both songs were at the time considered to be on the next album. Band tensions remained high and eventually everyone left once again. | After recording "American Girls", the three remaining Weezer members announced on an LA Radio station interview that they were done with their side projects for the time being.

Although this first recording session is unmixed and relatively unsorted, some songs that are known to have been done were "[[Damn That Wine]]", "[[Ol' Backwater]]", and some new Rivers songs from Summer 1998: "[[I Have To Kill You]]", "[[Turn It Off Now]]" and "[[Everyone]]", all of which Karl has described as "harder and harder" songs. | Back in Boston, Rivers reconnected with his friend [[Mikey Welsh]], whom he played with for some of his '97 Boston shows.
