10 Rock Bands That Saved Their Careers With One Album

Ever since the dawn of the '00s, hearing about a new Weezer record has always been a mixed bag for fans. For every time that they've made something new and adventurous like on Maladroit, there's always something like Make Believe that has sent fans into a frenzy. After one disappointment after another though, Weezer decided to stop chasing the trends and actually focus on their fans for a little while.

Because the late '00s were not a good time to be a Weezer fan, with albums like Raditude focusing on pop hooks and falling flat on their faces on nearly every single song. They needed to remind us that they could still deliver, and Everything Will Be Alright In the End is an album for the fans from skin to core. Going through every single track, Weezer almost seem to be apologizing to their fans for going a bit too far in the past few years, with Back to the Shack being the ethos of getting back to basics.

Along with the more traditional Weezer sound from the Blue Album, the more experimental tracks on this record are where things really shine, like Rivers Cuomo's traditional heartbreak songs getting a different point of view on the song Go Away or the amazing guitar duel that ends the album on the Futurescope Trilogy. There were mistakes to come even after this album, but it was just nice to know that the same band that wrote In the Garage back in the day were in there somewhere.
