My Favorite Things -- OK Human

My Favorite Things -- OK Human

A band that has been my favorite for quite some time now is Weezer. Within the last few days, the group released a new album entitled OK Human. The album, like many musicians during this time, has a different sound and creative approach due to coronavirus restrictions. Weezer is extremely well known for a punk or alternative rock sound popular to that of the 90s or early 2000s. While that genre still exists in the new album, the sound is different for one specific and interesting reason. Weezer’s new album was recorded with a 38-piece orchestra. 
While the album still has the sound of other Weezer songs, the addition of an orchestral element allowed Weezer’s front man, Rivers Cuomo, to make the songs mellow for longer periods of time before reaching a punched-up chorus that most come to expect from the band. This new album also has fantastically intricate album cover art that gives the overall album more interest. It was fun for me to hear where the new Weezer is headed, while being able to enjoy what I always loved about them in their newly released album.

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
