Musical Thesis: Weezer "Everything Will Be Alright in the End"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

At the center of every album is a musical thesis. Weezer's "Everything Will Be Alright in the End" is focused on a reintroduction. On rare occasions, have I heard a band apologize for moving away from their original sound, but Weezer does that here. More than that, at times the album can feel like an apology letter to their supporters. Now, I've called myself a fan since the "Green" album. I've always appreciated this band's ability to experiment with their pop/rock sound. I never felt offended when they tried to do something different, but this album is about getting back to the basics of what made them famous in the 90's. The difference here is the sound is more mature and so is the subject matter; which is a great move for this band. No apology necessary. 

 

Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
