''Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo'' is a compilation album by Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo. It is a sequel to ''Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo''. On July 24, 2008 on riverscuomo.com, an entire list entitled "The 4 and 5 star demos of river como" () was posted, with certain songs designated as songs that either appeared on ''Alone'', Buddyhead's ''Gimme Skelter'' compilation, or ''Alone II''. Soon after the list was posted, the site was redirected back to Cuomo's MySpace. On October 15, 2008, the album was made available for pre-order on Amazon.com and its release date was revealed as November 25, 2008, with http://www.interpunk.com reporting it will contain "a 3 song mini suite from the highly sought after ''Songs from the Black Hole'' and a cover of the Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby" and posting the cover artwork. The artwork was confirmed by Pitchfork Media on October 27, 2008. ''Alone II'' debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart with opening week sales of 6,000.〔()〕 It was followed by ''Alone III: The Pinkerton Years'' (2011). == Background == Rivers Cuomo has long been known by fans to have recorded a great deal of unreleased material, nearly 800 songs in his lifetime. This material was recorded with Weezer, earlier bands, and self-recorded demos. Of these songs, despite the large amount of unreleased material that has been made available by Cuomo on the internet, large chunks of his work remain unheard by fans. These include certain demos for ''The Blue Album'', various songs from the scrapped ''Songs from the Black Hole'' project, over a hundred songs he composed and demoed throughout 1999 (songs which he has described as ranging from "drone-y Romantic," "abrasive dissonance" and "riffy pop-rock"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rivers Cuomo Fan Interview 2006 )〕) and well over a hundred songs that didn't make the cut for ''Make Believe''. The idea for the demo collection was made 10 years ago, when Cuomo had brought up the idea to his record company. However, they discouraged him from the idea because they didn't want to "dilute the Weezer name" by putting out less polished material. It wasn't until 10 years later that Cuomo pushed harder for the collection and it gained enough support for a release. There were some legal issues between Cuomo and Geffen about releasing the album: During promotional interviews for ''Alone'' in 2007, Cuomo mentioned the possibility of releasing more demo albums through Geffen records. Of the reported 15 hours of demos Cuomo has made, he believed that one or two more solid albums on the level of ''Alone'' could be created. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「'''''Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo''''' is a compilation album by Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo.
