It was released as the second single from their ninth studio album Everything Will Be Alright in the End on September 8, 2014.[1] Like the previous single "Back to the Shack", the song has received favorable comparisons to Weezer's earlier albums. CompositionA jangly Egyptian-themed song,[2] "Cleopatra" is described as a throwback to Weezer's classic sound.[3] The song starts with acoustic strums, a harmonica, and subdued vocals. It builds up into a heavier song, containing a guitar solo and dual guitars.[4] Chris Coplan at Consequence of Sound characterized the song as sounding more like Weezer (1994) than Pinkerton.[5] Critical receptionCarolyn Menyes at Music Times comments that "it seems like the band has finally returned to form after all these years", citing "Cleopatra" as an example.[1] Dandiel Kreps of Rolling Stone declared "The track recalls the band's earlier albums", citing the production by Ric Ocasek.[6] At Consequence of Sound, Chris Coplan states that "Weezer keep things interesting by imbuing the track with a healthy dose of experience and cynicism, adding new layers to a sound that can occasionally be all too familiar."[5] Karina Starobina from Gigwise described the song "as much a perfect soundtrack for a college pool party as any other Weezer song you have ever heard.". Starobina also comments they don't want Weezer to change.[7] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.musictimes.com/articles/9795/20140908/listen-weezer-new-song-cleopatra-leak-everything-will-be-alright-in-the-end.htm|title=LISTEN: Weezer New Song 'Cleopatra' Arrives Online Before 'Everything Will Be Alright in the End' Release Date|accessdate=15 September 2014}} {{Weezer}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/2014/09/weezer-cleopatra-video-ewbaite-album/|title=Weezer Rebel Against 'Cleopatra' on Their Latest Leak|work=Spin|date=September 3, 2014|accessdate=February 24, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://radio.com/2014/09/08/weezer-new-song-cleopatra-everything-will-be-alright-in-end/|title=Weezer Unveils New Song ‘Cleopatra': Listen « Radio.com|publisher=|accessdate=15 September 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hitfix.com/news/weezer-breaks-out-extra-guitars-for-new-song-cleopatra|title=Weezer breaks out extra guitars for new song Cleopatra|work=HitFix|accessdate=15 September 2014}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/09/weezer-release-song-cleopatra-listen/|title=Weezer release song “Cleopatra” — listen - Consequence of Sound|work=Consequence of Sound|accessdate=15 September 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/weezer-reflect-on-old-age-and-fading-looks-on-catchy-cleopatra-20140910|title=Weezer Reflect on Old Age and Fading Looks on Catchy 'Cleopatra'|work=Rolling Stone|accessdate=15 September 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gigwise.com/news/94130/listen-weezer-unveil-brand-new-song-cleopatra-from-new-lp|title=Listen: Weezer unveil brand new song 'Cleopatra' from new LP - Gigwise|work=Gigwise|accessdate=15 September 2014}} 8 : 2014 singles|2014 songs|Republic Records singles|Song recordings produced by Ric Ocasek|Songs written by Rivers Cuomo|Weezer songs|Depictions of Cleopatra in music|Songs about Egypt |
