Maladroit by Weezer

Pros: solid mix of catchiness and slop rock
Cons: somewhat lacking in major standouts

It took only one album for Weezer to become a huge hit. Their self-titled classic known as "The Blue Album" was filled with fun, catchy rock. They followed it up with Pinkerton, which was just as good as its predecessor but more out-there ...

Pros: Weezer are a pretty solid band who are shaken but not quite stirred yet.
Cons: It barely sounds like them in spots, most songs under three minutes.

The ultimate nerd band, Weezer, got to where they are today because they started out like a bunch of average joes. It seemed that people from all walks of life, even my Dad, were flocking to listen to The Blue Album back in the day. ...

Pros: some real songwriting, the powerhouse drumming, the guitar work
Cons: some songs just sound rushed (lack of development?)

Weezer. Just what is it about this band that has captured the attention of so many people? To be honest, they aren't exactly original. Hell, they're like Cheap Trick meets Van Halen meets KISS meets oh, I dunno, Social...

Pros: Love Explosion is a good track, um...title helpfully describes album?
Cons: What is up with these WEAK lyrics?

Have you ever bought an album based on a band's past reputation, and then started listening to it...reluctantly skipping tracks, until you hit the sinking realization...you're back at the first track again?

It's been a long time since I've...

Pros: Emotions and guitar solos make a comeback!
Cons: Not nearly as catchy as The Green Album.

In May of 2001, after a six (6!) year hiatus, Weezer made their triumphant return with the absolute shortest full-length album I own, the self-titled album with the green cover, AKA Please God Grant Us Mainstream Success Once Again. They grabbed...

Pros: Pop-rock confections like "Keep Fishin'" make Weezer's fourth a keeper.
Cons: "American Gigolo," scant missteps near the midsection.

The title of Weezer's fourth album typifies the sort of smirky, self-effacing sad-sack persona that first endeared frontman Rivers Cuomo to troubled teens for whom Kurt Cobain and Co. were too heavy. Maladroit is a stew of previous albums--- it...

Pros: Rivers Cuomo, a couple good songs
Cons: Way too many bland things for an all star band

Introduction If you look up the word “maladroit” in the dictionary, it will give you “clum ...

Pros: ::Some songs are great::
Cons: ::Not as great as the Green Album. Some songs not explored well enough.::

We all remember Weezer’s last album, arguably nicknamed: “The Green Album”. Well, this was what really got me into Weezer and their music. They played excellent in concert, and what’s more, no more than a year later, the band...

Pros: Good mix of different Weezer styles.
Cons: Unfinished, underdeveloped feel to it.

I have recently become a big Weezer fan. Okay, I bought their debut, 1994’s The Blue Album ...

Pros: Very Diversified
Cons: Two Songs Just Don't Stick

Weezer first appeared about eight (8) years back with their first release entitled "Weezer". Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to hear that album. During that phase of my life music was not my general focus, and still wasn't up...

Pros: Positive, alive, confident rock sound.
Cons: Too short (but you should've been expecting this)

Oh, how my heart aches, and how I long so much to click on that button beside the five orange-colored stars, with that wonderful word "excellent" to assist you in your choice of opinion. But for some reason, deep inside, my inner-Weezerhead says not ...

Pros: Keep Fishin', enhanced features.
Cons: only two good songs, short, emo revolution

The debut blue album was great, with all kinds of new geeky surf grunge, then Pinkerton was a media flop, but stayed in the hearts of many Weezer fans. Once the green album came out, Weezer made a come back with Hash Pipe. Then Maladroit came out. ...

Pros: Weezer returns a year later with another smashing record.
Cons: As the case with the Green Album, it's not Weezer's best.

After 2001 ended, Weezer had regained their spot near the top of the alt-rock spectrum. The Green Al ...

Pros: a different direction for Weezer
Cons: too much 'shredding, most of the songs sound very similar

The main reason why Weezer is the best band in the world, in my humble opinion, is because they completely reinvent themselves every album. Their first was upbeat, happy, and relatively heavy. The best way to describe it is post-grunge, it is heavy but ...

Pros: Coumo's vocals, outstanding guitar solos, Shriner's bass.
Cons: Lack of soft songs, "Possibilities", "Love Explosion"

Yes, Weezer has returned to follow up their third album which has become known by fans as The Green Album. For those of you who thought the green album was a bit too poppy and soft, then Maladroit will certainly do you good. Weezer's...
