Weezer Album Details

2009-09-11 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 64 Comments
Weezer will release their seventh studio album Raditude on October 27.

The album was produced by Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol) and Butch Walker (Avril Lavigne, Saosin) and features tracks co-written with Walker, Jermaine Dupri and Dr. Luke Gottwald, as well as Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler of All-American Rejects. All of the song titles have been announced, but no particular order has been confirmed.

The rather-quite-unusual cover artwork can be seen here:

Jermaine Dupri makes me worried, sounds like experimental Weezer, and experimental Weezer isn't good =(

BUT BEST ALBUM ART EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Looks like one of those albums with "special guests." Though, I'm not expecting anything great from this album really.

Album expectations: 1
Artwork: 5

Still nervous, but the artwork helped to ease the pain.

A Weezer album with involvement from Butch Walker, The All-American Rejects, and Jermaine Dupri = EPIC FAIL. And by the looks of those song titles, it really looks like Rivers was digging deep this time. :/ Not to mention the album art. Well, I guess we'll always have Blue and Pink.

artwork rules. if the album is half as good as it then it will be good.....but it probably won't be. i have been giving weezer the benefit of the doubt for years and all they have done is disappoint

Well at least they made the best album art i've ever seen. Album should produce either a giggle or some sorrowful sighs.

it really is worse that Crash Love i think. i dunno why people are jacking off to it. but like Benzum said, people will pick up the album just because of its dumbass cover.

I never said they were good things. They're bad things. The album is entertaining because it's ridiculous and foolish. Is it legitimately good? No. Weezer hasn't been legitimately good in over a decade.

well, you claimed this was the best art you'd ever seen. therefore, i could only assume.

Artwork wins, epically.

Artwork is... different. I don't think it's amazing and I don't hate it. But I've never seen anything similar so props to them I guess.

The artwork is different from anything else out there, kind of rivals Bloodhound Gang's "Hefty Fine" on originality. It will bring a smile to my face when I see in in a store or actually buying a copy (which I doubt I'll do).

This may be the first Weezer album I don't get. A possible way of saving this would be if Rivers had a Maladroit-like revolution and wrote up some guitar solos... unlikely though

Jesus.

I think I'm going to give up being a fan of this band. Every year you hope they will return or progress or do something other than suck, and every year they defecate over your hopes then set them on fire.

Fuck.

whoa whoa whoa....jermaine dupri? gtfo. whatever hope I had left for weezer has just been annihilated.

btw, that album artwork is fucking retarded. and it probably fits the music perfectly.

Jermaine Dupri was half responsible for "Fallin", an awesome track off of American Gangster, so maybe this will show more of this Dupri.

I bet this album will suprise everyone. I was expecting more "colour album" artwork, with the band just standing there as usual.

Man, whoever made that cover should take a Photoshop college course or something, it looks unrealistic as shit. Kinda funny though.

I heard that Rivers found it in some magazine and it was one of the reader photos or something, and he got permission to use it...
