Everything Will Be Alright in the End or EWBAITE was Weezer's critical comeback. It boasted a shockingly different sound than albums like Make Believe, Red, Raditude, and Hurley but it was still narrow in its appeal. Rivers Cuomo wanted the success found with Blue, Green, and Make Believe without betraying existing fans. He needed to strike a new balance. With the help of Jake Sinclair and strong inspiration from the Beach Boys, White became the ultimate compromise. Sincere like Pinkerton, but accessible like Green.
