Advantages: A number of brilliant tracks, some of which show great potential. Disadvantages: Demo recordings so sound quality can be poor.
Rivers Cuomo is an extremely introverted and at times highly insolent individual. His sanity has been questioned many a time over the years, and his isolation from others is clear for all to see. Despite his questionable state of mind, Weezer as a band have continued for the most part to release excellent albums over the years and now comes this latest release from Rivers Cuomo as a solo artist. 'Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo' is exactly ... ...of demo recordings that he has recorded between the years of 1992 and 2007. Being demo recordings, the quality is often quite bad, but nonetheless some excellent tracks can be made out as Rivers Cuomo progresses his way through this collection. Many mistakes are made, and at times the vocals are completely off key, but the makings of some brilliant material can often be heard and the musical expertise of Rivers Cuomo is always apparent.

Additional notes
Album Notes: Issued in late 2007, ALONE presents a set of demos recorded by Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo at various points in the popular alternative-rock band's history. The epitome of the sensitive, slightly awkward rocker, Cuomo allows the mellower, introspective side of his pop-savvy aesthetic to shine through on the spare, piano-led "Longtime Sunshine" and the lovelorn, fuzzed-out "Superfriend." The amped-up Weezer sound is evident on other selections, however--most notably the stomping mid-1990s tune "Blast Off," which, along with the previously mentioned tracks, was originally slated for the abandoned SONGS FROM THE BLACK HOLE album. Although ALONE is billed as a Cuomo solo outing, it clearly fits into the Weezer catalogue, making it essential for all diehard fans of the group.
Album Reviews: Blender (Magazine) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he swaying fuzz guitars and sweet off-kilter falsettos of 'Lemonade' could've made Weezer's masterful debut..."
