Weezer news

Weezer will release their ninth album, Everything Will Be Alright In The End, on Sept. 30 via  Republic Records. Produced by Ric Ocasek, who previously produced the band’s first and third records (“The Blue Album” and “The Green Album”), Everything Will Be Alright In The End is the alt-rock/pop band’s first collection of new material in four years.

Since forming in 1992, Weezer has released a myriad of celebrated, chart-topping albums, selling over 13 million records worldwide. Following an intensely prolific couple years at the end of the aughts, the band chose to deliberately dial down the tempo in 2010, a move singer/guitarist Rivers Cuomo says allowed him to write at a slower pace, giving the songs he wanted to use for an album the time to gradually grow into their final forms.

He started almost every song on the piano, eventually transferring them to the guitar before taking them to the band. When it came time to record the material, Weezer reunited with the man who helped them make some of their most popular work, ex-Cars frontman Ric Ocasek. Three groups of the new songs are organized thematically.
