'''''Songs from the Black Hole''''' (SFTBH) is an unreleased, unfinished [[Weezer]] album. A space themed rock opera/musical, it was originally envisioned as the follow-up album to ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|The Blue Album]]'', but over the course of recording, the album's concept was discarded and the album was transformed into ''[[Pinkerton]]''. Some of the SFTBH songs ended up on Pinkerton (or as b-sides), some slightly altered lyrically and sonically. SFTBH was, in the words of songwriter [[Rivers Cuomo]], "supposed to be a whole album of songs transed together," meaning a seamless flow from one song to the next (previous examples of this technique include the closing medley of The Beatles' ''Abbey Road'' and various Pink Floyd albums including ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' and ''Wish You Were Here''). | '''''Songs from the Black Hole''''' (SFTBH) is an unreleased, unfinished [[Weezer]] album.
