More artists should take note. If you really want to release a compilation album, one full of unreleased material is the way to go. I don't even care if some of the songs included are twenty years old but a disc with rarities or 'B-Sides' is a real collectors' dream and a "new" album to the rest of the mortals.
Weezer is about to do just that with
Death To False Metal, a ten-track set of unreleased material spanning from over the band's past two decades in music.
Frontman Rivers Cuomo (yes, the same guy featured in
B.o.B's hit song
Magic), says the collection features "great songs, great recordings, but for some reason they didn’t make the final cut for a record". And have you checked the cover art?
Pitchfork seems to hate it, but I think it's a total winner! I really do.
