I can’t decide if this cover is supposed to represent a “whimsical” direction for Rivers Cuomo and his gang or if the four dudes in Weezer really hope to spread the worst aspects of Williamsburg’s nightlife (the beards! the sunglasses worn indoors! the terrible hats that Spike always wears on Top Chef!) to the Best Buying masses. It is nice, though, that they’re still letting their art director continue showing off her newly minted Photoshop skillz on their logo.

LOL… they look like the hipster Village People!
Makin me miss the Buddy Holly days.
@Catbirdseat: I bow down - awesome!
It looks like the worst AA meeting ever.
Game, blouses!
Great… like Weezer fans needed another excuse to bitch about something.
The belly really adds a touch of authenticity to Rivers’ get-up.
Clearly a tribute to Maroon 5. I hope they spoof Madonna next!
Okay, now I feel better.

@Catbirdseat: That’s classic! hahaha!

Looks like the unfortunate next lineup for “Big Brother.”

It’s either fake or a draft version–the area around the first three guys on the left is slightly lighter than the rest of the cover.
