Newly free from a 16-year recording contract with Geffen, 'Hurley' is Weezer's first album in a new deal with punk mainstay Epitaph and comes with expectations that the band has returned to its mid-'90s sound.
So, how does the new material actually fare? 'Hurley' is definitely rawer than the sleek mainstream sound of 'Raditude,' but there's still plenty of chic power pop to go around. Opener and...
