Nov 11, 2014It is not deserving of a Hurley-level bashing, and it’s too aware to be Pinkerton. It’s an album they could have made 10 years ago, but it’s also one that feels moderately current.
-
Oct 7, 2014There isn’t a single moment on EWBAITE when I wasn’t second guessing my feelings, and that makes it interesting to me, if not necessarily as interesting as some of their other post-reunion records.
-
Oct 6, 2014In finding their way back to what works, it too often sounds rehashed to make it a true return to form the band has been yearning to find.
-
Oct 6, 2014So while Cuomo might be frustratingly stuck in himself, Everything Will Be Alright In The End shows that he’s taking the first trepidatious steps into an earnest reflection on what it’s taken to be the man he’s become.
-
Oct 3, 2014It feels like a coherent album as opposed to a loose collection of songs. There are stumbles, but given the band's history, they feel minor.
-
Oct 2, 2014In spite of its moments of charm, it’s a far cry from being either a fun retreat into 20 years ago, nor is it any indication that Weezer's reputation will be in better health 20 years from now.
-
Oct 1, 2014Overall this record feels like a pocket in time and the breeze of nostalgia is welcome in parts but is wholly unsatisfying.
-
Sep 29, 2014A pleasant, but ultimately unspectacular adventure.
-
UncutSep 25, 2014It has its charms.... but the naivety of their debut remains elusive. [Nov 2014, p.84]
-
Sep 25, 2014A handful of tracks strewn with cheesy metaphors shows the impersonality that mars Cuomo's post-Pinkerton songwriting, despite some redeeming musical qualities that reaffirm Weezer as a purveyor of feedback and fuzz (particularly "Cleopatra," a great rock single if you ignore the lyrics).
-
Sep 25, 2014There are likeable enough moments: Cuomo has such an instinctive way with melody that he won’t ever release an album without some saving graces. But, for the most part, this is no improvement on Weezer’s medicore output of the past decade.
