"The End of the Game" kicked off the Van Weezer campaign a long way ahead of the record: Weezer let it loose on September 10, 2019, the lead single for a 15th studio album that didn't arrive until 2021. Rivers Cuomo says it packs at least 100 guitar overdubs, and it plays like a band gleefully cranking every knob in the room, somewhere between hard rock, power pop and pop metal.
Cuomo wrote it with Tim Pagnotta, Suzy Shinn produced and recorded it, and Matty Green mixed it. The same-day video stars Cherry Glazerr, who don't play on the track, and the band played it on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that same day. Gwen Ihnat of The A.V. Club heard the band's best song in years, at least for fans who want their Weezer loud.
