The Hold Steady return with their eighth studio album 'Open Door Policy,' recorded with producer Josh Kaufman. It's the second record in their current six-piece lineup that frontman Craig Finn fondly refers to as "Hold Steady 3.0".

Motivated to recreate the classic songwriting of Harry Nilsson and production from timeless albums like Pet Sounds, Weezer delivers a release that adds sounds from the history of orchestral pop but still sounds exactly like Weezer.

There's a thesis of sorts to be found in the midway point of Sault's Rise. "The Beginning and The End" with the lyrics, "We shall reclaim our joy/We shall remuster our strength, through millennia/Bathed in the tears of a thousand ancestors, we shall rise." And there is joy in this album, it's the most danceable record of the four released in the last two years, but that joy is also an act of resistance.
