Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: After taking five leisurely years to follow up on 1996's Pinkerton, Weezer are apparently on a roll. Arriving just over 12 months after The Green Album, Maladroit finds the Los Angeles power-pop band in the midst of a particularly fertile creative period. "Dope Nose," which is easily stronger than anything on the last album, flexes a sinister shout-along chorus and vintage Van Halen riffs, while the potent garage-punk blast of "Fall Together" wipes out any lingering discomfort over the thoroughly Sugar Ray-sounding "Island in the Sun." In a sense The Green Album was just a taster for this, the blissfully thunderous main dish. Sure, there are some deadpan emo moments ("Death and Destruction") littering the course, but mostly Maladroit is Weezer doing what they do best--inverting and embracing dumb rock stereotypes and somehow making them sound smart. --Aidin Vaziri

I bought Maladroit hoping nothing else: I hope this thing freakin rocks. and what do you know it does rock. My fav off this album though, has got to be Dope Nose. It is a rock hard hit of the year. Don't get me wrong, all the other songs, (like slob, burndt jamb, and space rock) are almost just as good, but not quite. So lets give a round of applause to everybody's favorite band Weezer! (their other albums ae great too)

After a 5 year hiatus from the release of their misunderstood "Pinkerton", Weezer came back with another self-titled, this one dubbed "The Green Album", and soon everyone was glad to have them back. Only the record suffered from a feeling of sameness and didn't have the spontaneity of bursting out into a barbershop quarter-type part in Holiday or the raw emotion of Across the Sea and there was a feeling that it was sort...safe. A year later, they came back with "Maladroit" and the disc certainly rocks harder and has more stronger songs but some aren't quite up to par.
American Gigalo: 4 for 4 as Weezer deliver another great album opener with big crunchy chords, that awesome pre-chorus ("if you want me, you can't have me") and hooks ... Read More:

I am a fairly new Weezer fan, ever since they toured with the Foo Fighters a couple years ago. They were amazing and as such I went out and started buying all their music, with the exception of this album. Well, I finally did purchase it w/Pinkerton a couple months ago and was very happy. Solid and rocking. I recommend this album highly.

Okay, I know what some may think, but I am NOT in fact a Weezer purist. I think that Weezer (Green Album) is an incredible record and that Make Believe isn't too far behind either, for instance. However, those songs had more memorable songs and didn't have to get bogged down by ugly-sounding distortion. I know that sometimes it can make for a good thing, but to me that really is the album's big Achilles.
As some may expect there is some quality stuff on "Maladroit." My favorite song is the single "Keep Fishin'" which writes in love but in a way that you came to love Rivers' songwriting. It's probably the song that people remember and come back to the most from the album. I also really like "Take Control" and while its distortion bugs ... Read More:

Very good CD one of Weezer's best. I found the first song to be funny. Don't ask me why i just found it funny. Good CD. If you like Weezer, or if you are a nerd, geek, stoner, whatever, or if you like rock music this is a great album!!!!!!!!
