| Weezer is nearly finished recording its long-gestating fifth Geffen studio album, according to posts on the band's official Web site. Group members have been working on songs for the past several days without frontman Rivers Cuomo, who will spend the next few months attending Harvard University. "While the main 12 songs are very close to completion (and may be in some cases truly completed) there is no way of knowing this for sure until everyone has had the chance to try everything they think may elevate the tracks," the site says. "Of course that includes Rivers, who is now away at school for the semester. While everyone agrees that most of the tracks are very close, it may turn out that additional work will be needed."
