Yes Roscoe, I am up for the challenge.
Any right thinking person believes that Rivers Cuomo died in a plain crash shortly after the release of Pinkerton. Pinkerton, like Weezer (Blue Album) was awesome. There is not a bad song on either album. But it has all been down hill from there. There was a good song on the green album...maybe. The video for "Pork and Beans" was something. There is no other way to explain the general shittiness of Weezer.
I believe we can all agree on this point. But than this happened:
That is the cover for "Weezers" forthcoming album Hurley. I shit you not. From Spinner.com:
I was coming up with all kinds of stuff, but ultimately, we just went with some random word that doesn't really have anything to do with anything. I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia -- it just had this amazing vibe. We didn't want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew people would refer to it as 'the Hurley record' even if we left it without that title, so we just called it 'Hurley.' No words are on the cover because all we wanted was his amazing face
"Weezer" / Fake Rivers Cuomo I applaud your overwhelming bullshit. We know you have a lot of nerd cred. "In the Garage" alone ought to buy you a laugh time of passes. But 75% of
Lost sucked. 15% of the good was watching Jorge Garcia Hurley around.* Now you have gone and made one of the few things that kept me watching that damned show terrible.
You are a cultural terrorist. This is like Michael Bay making Transformers. This is like The Simpsons's
stupid Ke-dollar sign-ha intro.
*The remaining 10% is mostly Ben related.
