Here’s the deal with the Weezer Snuggie: If you buy their special Snuggie that is essentially just a regular Snuggie with the Weezer logo on it, you get a copy of their new album Ratitude, which also came out today. Both items for $29.99. I don’t know how to feel about this. These days, I think I’d much rather purchase a Snuggie than a Weezer record.

Awesomely enough, the press release stated this: “This latest addition to the Snuggie collection will allow fans of the band to stay warm while keeping their hands free to rock out.”

I understand. While rocking out, I like to throw on a little something to stay warm. Yeah, it’s called a hoodie.

As for Ratitude itself, well, we’ve got a real review of the record coming this Friday, so I’ll spare the details here. But I’ll just say this, the album is a piece of merchandise just as much as the Snuggie is. The dog meme from the cover art is pretty entertaining though.
