Weezer is now streaming its new album, Hurley, in its entirety at the band's MySpace page. The group's eighth studio effort comes out September 14th and is their first since leaving Geffen Records and inking a deal with independent punk label Epitaph. Spinner says that Hurley is "definitely rawer than the sleek mainstream sound of (2009 album) Raditude, but there's still plenty of chic power pop to go around. Opener and lead single 'Memories' is the record at its best."
Meanwhile, frontman Rivers Cuomo has expressed reservations about the album's title, telling The Toronto Sun, "We've always had bad luck. We put out Pinkerton in 1996, and the day it came out we got sued by the Pinkerton Security Agency, and they took the albums off the shelves in its first week of release."
Although it was first assumed that Hurley was named after the character played by Jorge Garcia on Lost, the title apparently also ties into the Hurley clothing company, which makes Weezer shirts and hoodies and is doing some marketing for the record.
The band denied that the company gave them money for the recording in return for promotional considerations.
Cuomo recently confirmed that Weezer will play its first two efforts, the self-titled "blue" album and Pinkerton, in their entirety on the group's upcoming tour. Details will be unveiled soon.
