Weezer Announces New Album Release Date 'Everything Will Be Alright in the End' : Band Returns To 'Pinkerton' Style, Releases Music Video Teaser Trailer [VIDEO]

Weezer has announced a September 30 release date for their newest studio album "Everything Will Be Alright in the End." The announcement came hand in hand with a new video teaser trailer, which you can watch here.


"Everything Will Be Alright in the End" is produced by Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, who worked with the band on the Blue and Green albums. It's also their first album for new label Republic.

The collaboration with Ocasek, who turned the knobs on both the band's debut and 2001′s Green Album, has helped the group get back to their origonal sound-one that they had strayed away from on their previous two releases, 2009′s "Raditude" and 2010′s "Hurley."

"Ric wasn't the obvious first choice for us," Cuomo says. "It's hard to even remember back to the beginning of 2013, but we weren't sure of what we were doing or where we were going, and it was really helpful to talk to the other producers out there and get a feel for what it would be like to move in this direction or that direction. It all comes down to weighing our different values, like the sound and the vibe and the energy of where we came from that resonated with so many people and still feels so important and necessary-weighing that against the artist's need to explore and try new things. In a way, it gets more complicated as your creative career develops, because you have all these different elements you need to maintain and keep integrated as you move forward. Eventually, as we meditated on all the different options, it dawned on us that the vibe we wanted and the sound we wanted and the energy we wanted, there was no one on Earth who could get that better than Ric."

As for the overall tone of the album, Wilson has good news for hardcore Weezer fans. "If you took the'Pinkerton' band and then play all the other records-that's what we sound like now. Bombastic, loose, kind of booming. This record sounds like it's going to have the tight structure of Blue Album with a little bit more abandon like 'Pinkerton.'"
