What's the deal with Weezer's new album cover?

​We feel entitled to ask this question, since 96.5 The Buzz brings Weezer here all the freakin' time. Lost was hard enough to figure out on its own, dammit -- why is Weezer making it more confusing?! (In case you weren't an addict, that's Jorge Garcia, also known as "Hurley" on the show, on the cover.)  

Here's what Rivers Cuomo said to Spinner: "I was coming up with all kinds of stuff, but ultimately, we went with some random word that doesn't have anything to do with anything. I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia -- it just had this amazing vibe."

More after the jump.

Cuomo said: "We didn't want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew that people would refer to it as 'the Hurley record' even if we left it without a title, so we just called it Hurley. No words are on the cover because all we wanted was his amazing face."

Garcia does look kind of like God, beaming out at you in all of his hairy, overweight glory, doesn't he? Or is that just me?

You can hear the band's new single, "Memories," here. The album will be released on September 14.
