==Artwork==
The artwork of the CD and vinyl versions contain multiple black and white pictures as the artwork. According to [[Cherielynn Westrich]] in a [[2001]] Glorious Noise interview:
<blockquote>
"The photos were just some snapshots of my friend Dakota and me. We were pretending the Bronco was a spaceship to the moon and his mom Shelley thought it was funny and took some pictures. When I saw them they made me laugh, so I made the cover art with them. Now people like to poke fun at me and my face."<ref>The Glorious Noise Interview with Cherielynn Westrich Jake Brown 09/25/2001 https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Glorious_Noise_interview_with_Cherielynn_Westrich_-_2001</ref>
