As 2000 unfolded, Rivers continued his "songwriting machine" technique cranking out more demos than ever before. Finally, the band reconvened. For purposes of self review, the band recorded four sessions with new songs like "Dope Nose", "Slob" and "Too Late to Try". With so much new material from Rivers, the band wasted little time in ironing out their new material and joining some of the Warped Tour lineup. As the band toured, fans poured in with larger numbers than anyone could have anticipated. Bootlegs of shows and soundboard recordings of new songs were leaked onto the internet and shared among fans on then-new mp3 sharing technology. The songs were dubbed the [[Summer Songs of 2000]] or Ss2k. It was apparent to everyone in the band that Weezer's fan base was stronger than ever. | As 2000 unfolded, Rivers continued his "songwriting machine" technique cranking out more demos than ever before.

Throughout the remainder of 2000, the band spent all of their time in Rivers newly built home studio working on dozens of new songs. Some songs were reworked, some were dropped, and new ones were constantly added. Finally, after demoing from October to December of 2000, the band decided it was time to record a new album. | Throughout the remainder of 2000, the band spent all of their time in Rivers' newly built home studio working on dozens of new songs.
