I think the little snippet of "Diamond Rings" with the title lyric in it is amazing. The rest of the song is pretty boring in my opinion, though. This is a problem with a lot of the scrapped Mala-era stuff. It seems like the band had one good idea for a song, but couldn't flesh it out over the full 3 or 4 minutes. So it was just kinda filled in with guitar crunching.

I'll have to retract my previous statement and absolutely agree with Dan. I didn't even have to listen to five seconds of Rosemary to know that I really want a completed version of this song. Amazing lyrics, amazing music, amazing everything.

The obvious answer is Rosemary, or everybody wants a chance to feel all alone.

Would love to see "Broken Arrows" have an official release. Would like to see a reworked version of the answering machine demo with the same lyrics, and maybe a guitar solo thrown in. I'm a sucker for length.
Speaking of being a sucker for length, I absolutely love the first demo of "The Victor". The guitar intro would serve as a great opener for any album.
Speaking of great openers, the fact that a studio recording of "Diamond Rings" hasn't been released seems almost criminal to me. A great song that could have serve as a great album opener just should not go to waste.
And last, but not least, "We Go Together" deserves a much better effort in the studio than it was given. Just as much, if not more, emotion as in HBO Reverb. It's a great pop tune and it's made for the direction that Weezer is going in right now with the breezy power pop songs and how Rivers is experimenting with his vocals as displayed in Hurley.

I Need Some Touch was one of my fave songs to listen to on the bus ride home after a long day. I'd love to hear it again. Revamped.
Clemens - I was bummed to not get more Green era tracks on Death to False Metal. A proper recording of "O Girl" or "Cryin and Lonely" would have been incredible.

Private Message. That song could have been a smash freaking hit. And it's a pretty great pop tune.
