Weezerpedia:Today's featured article/October 26, 2008
Albumix is the name of a Weezer forum started by boardies kingofthecounty and lordofthemanor. Albumsix is currently the most active Weezer forum on the internet.
Albumsix.com started off as a single home page with a mysterious image reading "Album Six, Coming Soon", which linked to the official Weezer website. Shortly after it began to gain steam, Karl posted in Karl's Corner that he "honestly had no idea" what it was about. Later, Albumsix broke the news of Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo almost immediately after Rivers himself had, leading many to first get their news of the album from Albumsix and not Rivers' MySpace page.
Albumsix went on to post a fictitious teaser for the then confirmed sixth Weezer album. Albumsix called the album Tout Ensemble.

Following naming the album, Tout Ensemble posted a false release date of April 22, 2008. (more...)
