Maladroit combines the creative edginess of Pinkerton, with the heavy guitar riffs of the green album to make a truly enjoyable sound. Hard to compare to the blue album, but it certainly ranks as classic Weezer.

I was a little skeptic after i was led slightly astray from weezer after being partially disappointed by The Green Album.... but frankly this one just rocks! makes me enjoy music twicefold, i hope i don't sound like a fanboy

It's my 2nd favorite full length of theirs. Best musical composition and dynamics. Great to listen to on "repeat all." No bad songs, every thing sounds unique, while flowing smoothly. My only complaint is that it wasn't retro-analog.

This is a great albom from a great band. This is Weezer truly rocking it out better than anyone else is right now.

Enjoy the kick ass guitar licks, and all around different sound for the Weez.

this album is amazing!!

This is the album that weezer fans have been waiting for since Pinkerton. Fortunately, Rivers did not try to remake Pinkerton, he just let his emotions out like he did with Pinkerton. Can't wait for the next weez album due out next february.

heei

It is much more Weezer than their other CD's!

Rivers comes out and shouts about his boyish dreams of love. I don't know if anyone who reviews this record listens to the songs after Slob. Take a listen to December, Slave, and Love Explosion. Slave is about dating a girl you don't really love, Love Explosion is about how Rivers has always wanted that girl that is spontaneous and lovable, and December is about a boy who never finds any of those things. Maybe everyone thinks those feelings are naive. I like it. 10, best Weezer album.… Expand

Very booooring!

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??

A Bad Weezer Album. But it still rocks.

More consistently good than the green album, but without the highs. not nearly as great as either of the first two albums.

Best album since their classic Blue back in 1994. More meaningful, nice to see some more melancholy and self-deprecation.

Memorable pop tunes with great dynamics. Seemed sort of rushed at times.. but an "above average" outing for Rivers and his band.

Weezer's green album was OK but Maladroit is way better!

Better than Green, close to Pinkerton, far from Blue, Maladroit is not Weezer's strongest CD, but it's nonetheless a great collection of tunes. For the Weezer fan (especially fans of Pinkerton), Maladroit is a great buy.

Full of riffs, and much more creative than the Green Album, where nearly every solo mirrored the vocal melody. But the hooks don't stick with you once the music's off, and Maladroit offers few high points. Instead, it's possibly the most consistent Weezer album, with a couple great tunes (Dope Nose, Slave) and a bunch that rock hard but don't leave a lasting impact.

The songs rock hard but some of the songs are too similar and forgetable. Has a couple great songs Dope Nose, and Keep Fishin. And the rest are just kind of ordinary hard rock songs.

it rocks

After researching the band when I first got into them I saw that Maladroit was there then lowest selling album as well as least popular amongst fans. But as I continued to read further I discovered it was actually well liked by hardcore Weezer fans. I purchased the album and immediately heard the difference from anything they have released before but also loved it at the same time. I enjoyed every song and loved the crunchy guitar riffs and solos. This is my third favourite Weezer album, obviously behind Blue and Pinkerton.… Expand

Another enjoyable Weezer album... Not as good as The Blue Album or Pinkerton but Maladroit is certainly a nice listen. Songs like "Dope Nose" and "Keep Fishin" are amazing live and all the tunes are fun.

After leaving the fans for five years without an album the released two in quick succession, there is no argument as to which one was better out of the two Weezers Best album, Punchy, sharp, and heavy in all of the right places.
