==Track lists==
Of the two track lists composed for the album, the second track list is supposedly closer to what the finished album's track list would have been. Rivers compiled the second track list using several newly recorded songs and took out numerous songs that apparently were no longer needed, either due to their new status as 'real' second album songs, or due to simple creative changes of heart.

===Demoed track list #1===
The first recorded track list (referred to by [[Karl Koch]] as "'''Tracklist 1'''" in the [[Recording_History_-_Page_7|Weezer Recording History]]) was compiled by Cuomo from cassette recordings made from late [[1993]] through late [[1994]]. Some of the songs from this set were later demoed and recorded to ADAT tape by Cuomo and [[Pat Wilson]] in February of [[1995]] at a studio in Hamburg, Germany.

*The song "[[Why Bother?]]" was also recorded, though its place in this tracklist is unknown.
===Demoed track list #2===
The second version of the track list (referred to by [[Karl Koch]] as "'''Tracklist 2'''" in the [[Recording_History_-_Page_7|Weezer Recording History]]) was assembled by Cuomo and including some newly-recorded demos, after beginning his semester at Harvard in the fall of [[1995]], as a "last ditch effort" to salvage the ''Songs from the Black Hole'' concept. Ultimately, by the following spring, the concept had been shelved in favor of the concept that would eventually become ''[[Pinkerton]]''. The song "[[Lisa]]" was recorded as part of this track list, but was not intended for ''SFTBH''.
