Hurley Deluxe edition, incl. 4 extra tracks (2010)/ Weezer

""Hurley" named after Jorge Garcias beloved Lost character for no particular reason, but anybody with three eponymous albums in an eight-LP career doesnt care much for titles in the first place is marginally louder and rougher than the clean sheen of "Raditude", but not enough to fool anybody into thinking this is a punk rebirth. Again, Cuomo doesnt suppress his emotion; he just prefers sentiment (albeit delivered somewhat ironically as on lead single Memories), but what he loves most of all is a pure pop song and Hurley offers up its fair share. (The album runs four longer on a Deluxe Edition that includes a strong cover of Coldplays Viva la Vida.)" (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)
