One of the greatest album covers I've ever seen
« on: August 09, 2010, 01:36:25 PM »


Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is the cover for Weezer's new album, Hurley

Quote from: Rivers Cuomo
"We just wanted to use that picture of Jorge Garcia's face on the cover. It's such an amazing album cover, and we didn't want to have any other words on it, so we just figured everyone was going to call it Hurley, so that's what we call it."

I just hear the song yesterday.  I love that Weezer has a sense of humor.

Now all Weezer needs to do is to stop sucking and bring that kind of awesomeness into music.

Didn't they just put a new studio album out like 6 months ago!?
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

YES. Rivers must be in a good frame of mind.

My friend who loves Weezer said that they did it to piss off Hurley Clothing (who sponsored the record or something) because Hurley assumed that their clothing would somehow play a part in the album cover, so they used Hurley the person instead  :lol

At least that's what my possibly completely wrong friend said. It made me chuckle nonetheless.
