ryanwNov 4, 2009True It is not the Weezer, I still found the album very fun to listen to. Listen every band evolves and eventually strays away from the origin of their debut album. Blink-182, U2, The Beatles, all of these great bands have changed their sounds as they've grown up. We have all grown with them and should appreciate their work.

BatesLNov 4, 2009The final death of Pinkerton. I'm okay with that.

trickmanNov 4, 2009Though not a fan Weezer, I could still get "hook up" by this album very quickly. My finger can't stop tapping, simply new and fresh.

BrooNov 4, 2009This album come with good songs (i want you to, hang out, put them back together, freeway) and very bad songs (turn me round, the underdogs on deluxe edition). Love is the answer is kinda weird but not that bad, can't stop partying is funny. Still better than Make believe.

RenataADec 4, 2009It's a middle of the road Weezer album. However, since they're far superior to other bands, it's an overall great album. The lyrics are sort of silly but the melodies are great.

RobertTNov 6, 2009Great, great album. Best one since Maladroit in 2002 (Maladroit was also considered to be pretty generic and underwhelming upon release as well). I predict the reaction of Raditude will be like Maladroit where people will look back and consider it a great rock album, but not held to as high regard as Pinkerton (still their magnus opus).

JosephANov 6, 2009I do believe this is the post-Pinkerton album some of us have been waiting for. Alive, colorful, plainly confessional, hooky, and drenched in current musical trends while retaining an undeniable Weezer foundation as set by Blue & Pinkerton.

JoshuaDNov 10, 2009"The Underdogs" is one of the best, most heartfelt and touchingly sung songs I have heard in quite a while. While I am not a music critic by any stretch of the imagination, I think that Weezer could have done a lot worse with this, but I am still impressed by their second album released within two years.

CodyFNov 14, 2009This album would be worthy of a 8 or a 9 if it weren't for "Love is the answer" in which Weezer has a go at making a hybrid of rock and traditional Indian music, I'm serious. However the rest of the album is on par with the Weezer's recent Brilliance, It's just... That... one... TERRIBLE SONG... ARGH!

SnuggieFNov 17, 2009I think Rivers Cuomo is hot and sexy-I don't really care about the music. He could sing a song about a trash can and I would like it. Too bad he's married! Another good one that got away!

FREDBNov 17, 2009Great pop album ! Very good songs. I particularly like all the fun behind the words.

weezerNov 17, 2009Rivers Cuomo has discovered the Fountain of Youth and he's not ashamed of it either. Rather than rehash stale stuff from yesteryear, Weezer surges forward and displays an irreverent playfulness to go along with the catchy tunes. All those snobby Pitchforkers-can go stick it! Yes-" I Want You To!"

SaraBNov 18, 2009AMAZING music, as usual from Weezer!

SteevinWNov 18, 2009A: Everyone who is stupid enough to not get the messages of these songs should not be allowed to review it. B: With that said, Raditude is a great, rocking album. Whoever said Raditude will be looked back on in the same vein as Maladroit is right on.

PorksworhRNov 19, 2009A mighty fine pop album. Doesn't have some of the great moments that 'Red' had but is a lot more consistant. 'In The Mall' and 'Trippin Down The Freeway' were the real highlights for me. Keep Weezin'.

JonANov 4, 2009It's no Pinkerton, but it does what you think it will, and does it well.

DustinCNov 4, 2009Doesn't it make you laugh when you hear Weezer fans bicker everytime a new album comes out? Why isnt it the Blue Album? Why isnt it Pinkerton? Why isnt it the Green Album? yada...yada...yada...get over it, Cuomo has always written whatever he feels like writing.

HappyHNov 17, 2009Weezer continues to experiment with new sounds and collaborations with others that can only intrigue. I can hear Beach Boys melodies and that can only be good as Rivers Cuomo explores his inner surfer. I wish all the elitist publications would ease up & be sincere: Weezer is having fun with it and so should you.

gailpNov 17, 2009I must confess: I am a major =W= fan and can say truthfully-Weezer can do no wrong in my eyes. I like the light-hearted aspect of Raditude, and think the new music will enjoy greater acceptance down the line. Plus who doesn't love that =W= Snuggie?

ParadornSNov 17, 2009Raditude is a unique exotic album. First time hearing will make you be quite shock if you like their previous albums. Because this work packed full of pop music to catch your fine ears. That's not the way the old Weezer works anyway but I very feel great after listing to it a few times.

DennisANov 17, 2009After listening to the album a few times...it really grew on me. There are some really good songs on it. Like all Weezer albums there are songs that are great and some that I don't get...but overall this is a must have for Weezer fans.

Aug 22, 2010I enjoyed this album for what it was, that being a very poppy rock album. Definitely no where as good as their older albums Raditude still had very catchy tunes. Despite this I believe it to be the worst Weezer album.

Instead of trying to divine the line between earnest and ironic, Weezer fans should just sit back and enjoy what works here. And like every Weezer record, plenty does.
-
The weird aftertaste of Raditude isn't that Cuomo has so surrendered the oddball charm of his band's first two albums, though. It's that his late-career pursuit of mindless, opulent fun is so transparent that it almost taps a deeper vein of interior sadness than anything on "Pinkerton."
-
Given what we know about Cuomo’s eccentric inner world, it’s hard not to find those dazzlingly perfect melodies kind of hollow.
