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.

"[5] The band abandoned work on the album, in order to give primary songwriter Cuomo more time to write more material.

[9] On March 19, 2014, Weezer released a clip of two new songs on the band's official YouTube account that ended with the words "in the studio now".

[7] Band leader Rivers Cuomo described the album's theme as "an increased awareness of the impermanence of everything we [take] for granted [and] "how to make peace with that.

[16][17][18] "Belladonna" includes the songs "Ain't Got Nobody", "Lonely Girl", "Da Vinci", "Go Away", "Cleopatra" and "Return to Ithaka", all of which deal with Cuomo's relationships with women.

[7][12] The album's first single, "Back to the Shack", lyrically deals with the wish to return "to [the band's] 1994 roots", with Rolling Stone describing it as a "nerdy, self-referential [...] guitar-heavy track".

[26] "I've Had It Up To Here" features Cuomo bringing "finest mock-operatic metal voice" and a "dexterous syncopation [...] providing a mid-point palate cleanser", and lyrically deals with his frustrations with "unappreciative masses".

"[12] "The British Are Coming", written solely by Cuomo, features lyrical references to American Revolutionary War, acoustic guitars and an "old school Weezer" guitar solo.."[29] The verses went through several lyrical changes, with Cuomo debating whether adding a personal angle to the song or purely writing from the point of view of the founding fathers.

[23] Entertainment Weekly reported that the album would feature an "ambitious three-part suite", which includes the song "My Mystery", which was later re-titled "Anonymous".

[citation needed] Several clips featured the band working in the studio and also revealed several song titles for the then-unnamed album, including "Ain't Got Nobody" and "The Waste Land".

[34] The original release date of September 30 was announced through both the web series and Entertainment Weekly, along with a behind-the-scenes look into the recording sessions.

[35][36] On July 23, the band performed the live TV debut of the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

[44] In late 2014, the band promoted the album by playing it live in its entirety, mainly in smaller venues that also included acoustic performances of songs from their back catalogue.

[47] Stephen Thomas Erlewine at AllMusic states "there's a sense that Weezer made another record of massive, hooky rock not only because that's what the fans want but because they know it's what they do best", citing songs like "The British Are Coming", "Ain't Got Nobody", "Cleopatra" and "Go Away".

Heisel points out risks on the album, such as 5/4 to 4/4 time signature shifts heard on "Cleopatra" that eventually feels "right at home".

"[17] Consequence of Sound writer Dan Caffrey notes that "Everything Will Be Alright in the End doesn't just transport us to Weezer's younger days — it ushers us into their future.

[28] Sputnikmusic reviewer Adam Thomas describes it as a "return to form", explaining that "a whimsical soundscape of 90's fuzz and the cheesy late 70's arena rock guitar harmonies that made Weezer both so cool and horribly uncool at the start of their career.

Rolling Stone named the album the fourteenth best of the year, praising the band for "rediscovering the art of the three-minute girl jam", while also expanding the group's sound.
