"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 in favor of Pinkerton (1996), featuring songs once intended for Songs from the Black Hole and new songs written at Harvard."
