Guitarist Brian Bell was a little more detailed in a conversation with Rolling Stone. According to their report, the band is expected to hit the studio with Rubin within the next few of weeks.
�Right now we're just playing acoustically," Bell told Rolling Stone. "There might be more textures to this record."
Bell adds, "We have so many songs to choose from and it shouldn't be too much longer before we actually start making the new album."
Don�t expect the 20 some songs that the
band gave away to fans via their website last year to make an appearance
on the new album. Rolling Stone reports that bell told them that those
songs are no longer strong contenders for the new album. "It's all new
stuff," he says. "We're still open to suggestions -- especially if Rick
says, 'I want you to have a second look at this song you did last year.'
It's not likely, but nothing's out of bounds at this point."
The band is also putting the finishing
touches on a DVD. Here is what Weezer.com had to say about that project,

projected final runtime over 3 hours. Architecture, menus, packaging coming
