jonoJan 31, 2006It'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.

AndrewJan 16, 2004This is a great albom from a great band. This is Weezer truly rocking it out better than anyone else is right now.

May 15, 2017This album is really good. It's better than green, much better than what would later come (make believe)
and is very heavy in guitar.
tracks like keep fishin' and dope nose get stuck in your head and nothing on here is bad.
favorite songs:
5. dope nose
4. keep fishin'
3. space rock
2. american gigolo
1. burndt jamb. -
matSep 27, 2006A Bad Weezer Album. But it still rocks.

HatR.May 26, 2002Weezer's green album was OK but Maladroit is way better!

TaylorG.May 27, 2002Better 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.

Sep 7, 2010Another 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.

Oct 2, 2010After 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. -
Mar 28, 2014Really good stuff. Rocks harder than any other W album - has a dark edge. Cuomo was still angry, and he was producing some of best music at this time.

Apr 30, 2016The uncommon use of heavy guitar riffs and typical Weezer song lyrics creates for one of the most fun alternative rock albums in recent memory and one of the most criminally underrated albums of this generation.
-
Jan 2, 2014The third-best Weezer album, in my opinion. Catchy riffs, more of Rivers Cuomo's always-solid songwriting, and of course "Slob", one of my favorite Weezer songs.

Jan 27, 2015This album is up there with Pinkerton for me. It rocks so much! The first tracks set the standard high, but sadly the second half doesn't live up to the quality of the first. Nevertheless, it's one of Weezer's greatest and one I won't forget for a long time.

May 11, 2016It's a development of the sound heard on The Green Album with heavier guitar riffs and some slightly more experimental song-writing. But it's just as much of a treat to listen to.
-
Jul 2, 2016With the grinding guitars of Pinkerton and the lyrical style reminiscent of Green and Blue, Maladroit is the perfect rocker album for Weezer fans. Possibly their best Post-Pinkerton release.
-
Mar 26, 2018A solid rock album from a band known for it's pop sensibilities. It's better than the album that came before it that's for sure.
-
Aug 18, 2023This is pretty, pretty, pretty good. rerated to a 10. Every song is a banger.
-
Feb 2, 2018One of Weezer's overlooked and ignored album and perhaps the heaviest album of their career. This album is highly recommended for a metal fan that wants to get into Weezer.
-
Apr 10, 2018A strong 7/10 and definitely in Weezer's top 3 albums, if not their best. Some stand out tracks include singles Dope Nose and Keep Fishin', deep cuts Take Control, Death & Destruction, Burndt Jamb and Fall Together and fantastic closing track December.
A couple less interesting tracks but by Weezer's standards this is a very good album and much improved over the Green album -

Q MagazineAmid all the bitching and moaning are some of the finest songs of Weezer's career. [May 2002, p.118]
-
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 Cuomos lyrics.
-
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.
