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

    Amid all the bitching and moaning are some of the finest songs of Weezer's career. [May 2002, p.118]
  2. Maladroit combines the best parts of the three previous Weezer albums: creamy guitar riffs, addictive beats, staple "hoo hoo's" and the brilliant mystique of Cuomo’s lyrics.
  3. Be forewarned: There's not much along the lines of "Island in the Sun" here.... Still, there are plenty of smart hooks and catchy vocals throughout.
