What exactly is Raditude?
So, based on the newly minted cover art for Weezer’s forthcoming studio effort, we can assume something along the lines of a dog jumping around a vintage decorated living room can be considered Raditude. Either that or Rivers Cuomo and Co. have hit a dead end in lunacy and opted for their recent issue of National Geographic — the picture is from a reader-submitted photo contest run by the magazine each issue — for inspiration.
Raditude hits stores on October 27th via Geffen.
I laughed when I saw this album cover, and I think that just says it all. I love Weezer. Blue and Pinkerton are classics. But everything they’ve put out recently, specifically the new songs, are just laughable. I know Rivers and co. have a sense of humor and everything isn’t meant to be taken seriously, but I think it’s just funny for the wrong reasons. Weezer is just a joke to me now, and they just keep putting out new music to make money now that Rivers can die happy since he made Pinkerton.
i agree with will (unless he was being sarcastic). you can only do so many color albums. i remain skeptical until hearing the final product. i do like that new single though.
WIN.
