Everything Will Be Alright in the End is the ninth studio album by the American alternative rock band Weezer, released on October 7, 2014. It is the first Weezer album released by Republic Records, and the third produced by Ric Ocasek, who previously produced Weezer (1994) and Weezer (2001).
Everything Will Be Alright in the End departs from the electronic pop production of Weezer's previous two albums, Raditude and Hurley, returning to a sound more reminiscent of their earlier albums. The lyrics deal with singer Rivers Cuomo's relationship with his father figures, fans and women. And
anon hate for the release.
The album received positive reviews, becoming the most acclaimed Weezer album since Pinkerton (1996). It is the band's fifth album to peak in the Billboard 200 top 5, reaching number 5 and selling 34,000 copies its first week. The album has produced three singles: "Back to the Shack", "Cleopatra" and "Da Vinci".
