The album is alleged to have been scrapped entirely in the middle of production and then finished in a matter of weeks. [[Karl Koch]] commented on the album in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH16IrQRjvk 2017 interview with Weezerpedia], admitting that he wasn't around for the ''Hurley'' sessions, but heard accounts of the recording process. Said Koch:<blockquote>"I know it was chaotic. Nobody looks back on that time fondly. I ''do'' know that the entire album was almost finished and then pretty much completely scrapped and then started over. But again, the whole process was less than a month... I was just learning about the thing being practically done, and I remember talking to the manager at the time and he was showing me a track list and saying "Well, this is kinda what we have here. It's almost done and it's been a real struggle but we're just about there" and then literally like a few days later finding out, no that's all gone, or mostly gone. So I don't know what happened to make that happened, but then within two weeks it's like "OK, it's done". It's like "Wow, how did that happen?" So I think there was some very frantic, manic working environment, and so I would imagine everybody was somewhat confused at some point, as far as what they were doing and what ended up on what, because if everything got dumped and resurrected in less than two weeks...we're talking about ten or twelve songs."</blockquote> | The album is alleged to have been scrapped entirely in the middle of production and then finished in a matter of weeks.
