    Perfect pop fun for short attention spans.

    Maladroit feels like a bloodless quest to write the perfect song. [Jun/Jul 2002, p.100]

    The kids will tolerate Maladroit, and probably many more dull records just like it, because it’s a product of Weezer.

    Probably one of my least favorite Weezer albums. I really wanted to like this album. They're a constant disappointment.

    Incredibly boring, formulaic, and uninspired; inevitably, it has a few bright moments, but given the blue album and Pinkerton, why in the world would you settle for this??… Expand
