From Wikipedia:
Weezer (also known as the Green Album) is the third studio album by American rock band Weezer. It was released on May 15, 2001, by Geffen Records. […]
Art direction was handled by Chris Bilheimer with photography from Marina Chavez and Karl Koch. It is similar to the cover art of Weezer’s debut album.
The album cover was shot between band practices and featured Welsh, Cuomo, Bell and Wilson standing left to right in front of a plain, lime-green backdrop in a manner similar to the band’s debut album. This was done as a tribute to Ric Ocasek, who had also produced their first album, and also to symbolize the band’s back-to-basics approach they took while recording the album. This approach is alluded to in a quote in the liner notes of the album: “Torniamo all’antico e sarà un progresso”, from Italian opera composer Giuseppe Verdi that means “Let us return to old times and that will be progress.”
The band name on this album uses an incorrect typeface: it’s SansSerif FLF. For the rest of Weezer’s discography, it uses a modified Futura Medium.
