Either this is a way to fuck with the bittorent-ers or Rivers Cuomo is that excited to reveal his porn-stache.  Any way you slice it, this is the third major album this year (Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkely) where the announced release date was "moved up" to quell leaks. 

Why don't labels just forgo with announcing a date and just release the albums?  Why do they have to lie to us?  Don't they know this bumping up of dates doesn't discourage downloading one iota?  Oh yeah, they don't.  That's why their business model is going up in flames. 

From Big Hassle Media (handlers for Weezer):

The streets can't wait any longer: Buoyed by a single which reached #1 at Modern Rock radio a mere eleven days after its release to the format, and a tidal wave of buzz, Weezer's new, self-titled album on DGC/Interscope Records has had its release date moved up three weeks to June 3.

The latest single "Pork and Beans" produced by Jacknife Lee (U2, R.E.M.) has been embraced by Modern Rock radio making it the quickest journey to #1 that any Weezer single has found in its illustrious history. The single has earned rave reviews in the UK's NME  and Rolling Stone.

The new album which is the third eponymous in the band's catalogue and is being referred as "The Red Album," was produced by the band, Rick Rubin, and the aforementioned Lee.
