Everything Will Be Alright in the End (acronymed as EWBAITE) is the ninth studio album by American rock band Weezer, released on October 7, 2014.[1] It is Weezer's only album released by Republic Records,[2] and the third and final Weezer album produced by Ric Ocasek, who previously produced the Blue Album (1994) and Green Album (2001).
Everything Will Be Alright in the End departs from the electronic pop production of Weezer's previous two albums, Raditude (2009) and Hurley (2010), returning to a sound more reminiscent of the band's earlier albums. The lyrics deal with singer Rivers Cuomo's relationship with his father figures, fans and women.
The album received positive reviews and became the most acclaimed Weezer album since Pinkerton (1996). It is the band's fifth album to peak in the Billboard 200 top five, reaching No. 5 and selling 34,000 copies its first week. The album was supported by three singles: "Back to the Shack", "Cleopatra", and "Da Vinci". As of early 2016, the album has sold 100,000 copies in the U.S.[3]
