redalbum.jpgRivers! Say it ain't so! That photo on the right is the cover of Weezer's upcoming self-titled effort, casually called The Red Album. During the band's three year hiatus, the band has taken obvious experimental strides in wardrobe expansion. Yes, I miss the good ol' nerd look from The Blue Album and the edgier rockstar look on The Green Album, but I guess even musicians grow up. Initially, the cover struck me as a hipster version of the village people, but on further thought, the band's picture reminds me of a representation of Ludlow. From left to right you've got your regulars at: Darkroom, Pianos, Iggy's, and Motor City Bar. No?
