Weezer has been having it both ways for some time; churning out barn-burning alt-rock riffs while maintaining a degree of ironic distance via their nerdy image and quirky twists and turns. Don't be fooled by the geek garb, though, head Weezer Rivers Cuomo is the kind of guy who could raid your refrigerator and steal your girlfriend without ever removing his horn-rimmed glasses. MALADROIT finds Cuomo and his post-modern pals continuing to walk that tricky tightrope between rock and "rock." Whether you believe they mean it or not, the visceral pleasures of the chugging "Dope Nose," the Gary Glitter rivalry of "Keep Fishin'," and the white-boy R&B of "Burndt Jamb" are easy to assimilate. And the first pressing comes with the bonus of seven video clips, so what are you waiting for? Put down that pocket protector, slap on your Doc Martens, and go get MALADROIT.

 Don't Believe the Hype!
Weezer's back again, and word is they're set to record another album! Is this a case of overload? Maybe. This is a good disc full of Rivers' signature tunes. The sound is more hard-edged and rough, and less poppy than the "Blue" and "Green" albums. The songs are good, but they don't live up to those on the "colored" discs. Don't believe all the gushing reviews out there. This is a fun listen, but it's a bit of a letdown compared to previous releases.

 Terrible
When i listened to Weezer's Green album, i thought it was pretty awful copared to older Weezer. After i bought Maladroit and listened to it for the first time i couldn't wait to hear the green album again. Maladroit makes the green album seem like the worlds greatest rock cd ever. Maladroit is not catchy or interesting at all and after listening to it once i don't feel i ever have to hear the garbage weezer considered a finished album again. It seems like they threw a bunch of crappy songs together and said lets release it as an album just cause we know our fans will buy it. I will never buy another weezer album again.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No better than green
the orange riffs of maladroit are like music to my ears, wait they are. anyway this disc is better than green, but not upto the level of blue and pinkerton. lets hope their next album continues the trend.
