Weezer Didn't Sell Album Title

Posted by: Paul Tao (08/24/10)
In case you read the rumors that Weezer named their new album Hurley because of product sponsorship, the band want you to know that it is not true.

Does not change the fact that the title and cover are a stupid idea.

Sounds like some sort of cover up. You don't just mistakenly believe in some sort of marketing strategy; I think that may have been some sort of original plan, but maybe it was scrapped at the last minute. I don't even know, I'm still looking forward to the Blue/Pinkerton tour (BP tour? haha).

kinda funny that he thought the album was funded by Hurley in the first place

edit: well, after seeing the original interview it's just kinda weird.

I somewhat don't believe it...I'm fine with the title, but the title with the cover is absolutely stupid. I hate this cover so much. Lost isn't even a bad show, but I just can't respect Weezer with that cover. Not expecting much from this album.


And I don't believe this. He flat out said in the interview, "Part of it was funded by Hurley". He's covering it up, as someone said above.

Now that would be a stupid marketing strategy.

THE ALBUM ART IS DUMB.

THE TITLE IS DUMB.

LOST IS DUMB.

ALBUM WILL SUCK.

Those that are taking this route, please read.

Edit: Anticipating all of the, "Oh come on man, the past two albums were terrible! Rivers lost his edge! He needs to take more time recording material and select the best songs rather than crapping out albums!" rants.

I kinda like the ridiculousness to the cover. I'm not going to take Weezer seriously anymore, to me I will enjoy them the same way I enjoy Reel Big Fish.
