'''''Death to False Metal''''' is a collection of unreleased Weezer songs | '''''Death to False Metal''''' is a collection of previously unreleased Weezer songs that came out on November 2, 2010. The project, originally known as ''Odds and Ends'' was first mentioned by [[Brian Bell]] on KROQ when Weezer performed on Kevin and Bean's morning show during the summer of [[2008]]. [[Rivers Cuomo]] said that the tracks are "great songs, great recordings, but for some reason they didn't make the final cut for a record. And like the "[[Alone]]" record, they span a vast period of time from the very beginning of our career in the early '90s right up to the present day. But I have no idea when that would come out. It's just another fun project to do." | ||

In a Billboard interview that took place before the 2009 Summer Tour, the band was asked about the status of ''Odds and Ends'' to which Bell replied "What's Odds and Ends"? Cuomo then stated that the project hasn't even been thought about and the band keeps auditioning songs from their unreleased back catalog for new albums, therefore any Weezer compilation is unlikely in the near future. | In a Billboard interview that took place before the 2009 Summer Tour, the band was asked about the status of ''Odds and Ends'' to which Bell replied "What's Odds and Ends"?
