Alone will stand as an idiosyncratic gem in his catalog, showcasing him at his eccentric best.
-
Alone is quirky, but also an intriguing glimpse into one artist's creative process.
-
If nothing else, Alone reminds us that a lot of those over-ambitious, silly-on-paper ideas often blossomed in Cuomo's hands, and there was more to Weezer in their early days than just crisp power-pop and cute videos.
-
It’s not perfect, but it never tries to be. It shows Rivers Cuomo disarmed and open, doing what he loves.
-
For Weezer fans awaiting the next installment, it adds up to a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of Cuomo’s sweet, strange mind.
