Songs from the Black Hole

''Songs from the Black Hole'' is an unfinished, unreleased album by the American alternative rock band Weezer, once intended to follow their 1994 self-titled debut album. It was to be a science fiction rock opera that expressed songwriter Rivers Cuomo's mixed feelings about rock and roll success. Its six characters were to be voiced by Cuomo, Brian Bell and Matt Sharp of Weezer, Rachel Haden of That Dog and the Rentals, Joan Wasser of the Dambuilders, and Weezer collaborator Karl Koch.
Cuomo recorded demos for ''Songs from the Black Hole'' over Christmas 1994, and Weezer worked on the album in recording sessions over the following year. At the end of 1995, Cuomo enrolled at Harvard University, where his songwriting became darker and more confessional. Feeling the ''Black Hole'' concept was "too whimsical", he abandoned it and Weezer's second album became ''Pinkerton'' (1996), featuring songs once intended for ''Songs from the Black Hole ''and new songs written at Harvard.
Two ''Songs from the Black Hole ''tracks were released as B-sides for singles from ''Pinkerton''. Many of Cuomo's demos were eventually released on the compilation albums ''Alone - The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo'' (2007), ''Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo'' (2008) and ''Alone III: The Pinkerton Years'' (2011), and on the 2010 "deluxe" reissue of ''Pinkerton.'' In 2007, ''Rolling Stone'' named ''Songs from the Black Hole'' one of rock music's "mythical lost masterpieces".
==Background==

Weezer's self-titled debut album was released in May 1994 and became a commercial and critical success; it was certified gold on December 1 and platinum on January 1, 1995.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=RIAA )〕 Songwriter Rivers Cuomo wrote that success had "stirred up a lot of mixed feelings in me ''–'' 'Yay, I'm happy' as well as 'I'm not sure this is the life I want to lead.'"〔 Touring with Weezer, Cuomo had listened to the operas ''Aida'' (1871) and ''Madama Butterfly'' (1904), the rock opera ''Jesus Christ Superstar'' (1970), and the musical ''Les Misérables'' (1980). Inspired by how these works married music and narrative, he decided to write a rock opera to explore his feelings about relationships, fame, and his life as a touring musician.〔
