Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

With the release of Maladroit, just over 12 months after The Green Album, Weezer appear to be in the midst of a particularly fertile creative period. After taking five leisurely years to follow up on 1996's Pinkerton, the Los Angeles power-pop band is apparently on a roll. "Dope Nose", which is easily stronger than anything on the last album, flexes a sinister shout-along chorus and vintage Van Halen riffs, while the potent garage-punk blast of "Fall Together" wipes out any lingering discomfort over the thoroughly Sugar Ray-sounding "Island in the Sun" (which, incidentally, is included again on this album). In a sense The Green Album was just a taster for this, the blissfully thunderous main dish. Sure, there are some deadpan emo moments ("Death and Destruction") littering the course, but mostly Maladroit is Weezer doing what they do best--inverting and embracing dumb rock stereotypes and somehow making them sound smart. --Aidin Vaziri


CD Description

Fourth album from Weezer, and the follow up to 'The Green Album' which was released in 2001. 'Maladroit' has melodic guitars and catchy hooks and is more in line with 'The Green Album' than their self titled debut, or 'Pinkerton'. Featuresthe single 'Dope Nose', and a UK only bonus track 'Living Without You'.

5.0 out of 5 stars cuomo back on top, 15 May 2002
By A Customer
Ten years ago Weezer brought out the 'blue' album which was and still is their best record to date. Then came Pinkerton, the most under-rated CD ever and was not suprising that Rivers Cuomo took a lenghty gap before producing the modest 'green' album. However, astonishingly just over a year later Weezer have produced one of the finest albums to come out of America for a long time, a great relief from all of the manufactured nu metal crap that is dominating the US at the moment. Maldroit shows Weezers diversity for mixing infectious melodic rock with heavy metal riffs which works extremely well, especially on 'take control' and 'fall together'. The guitar solos are much more diverse than on their previous albums, showing Cuomo's true talent and the tempo is a lot faster on most of the songs, especially on the punkish 'Possibilities'. Generally the album has a much more up beat feel to it than the previous offerings. 'Dope nose', the first single is one of the best songs on the album along with 'keep fishin', 'Slob' and 'take control'. Weezer are obviously making up for lost time and it wont be long until they release their fifth album early nexy year. If you are a new Weezer fan then buy all of their albums because they are quite possibly one of the greatest, although under-rated bands this decade- but maybe things are about to change?

5.0 out of 5 stars It's almost like the Green Album never was, 16 May 2002
By M. Dovey "Son of Santa" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Harking back to their Pinkerton days, the self-produced 4th album is indeed, as promised, a lot more rock than Green was. Although the inclusion of Island in the Sun as a bonus track does seem to link it back to the last album, Island was always a stand out track on Green, and mixes well with the slower, more emo-like tracks on the album (Death & Destruction, Burndt Jamb). The album has a full range of styles, unlike all the previous albums; from the aforementioned emo, to the darker, heavier Take Control and Slob (a summer 2k song) through to the upbeat but still rockin' Dope Nose, Fall Together etc, which makes up the majority of the album.
The playing styles on the new album are vastly different as well. Pat's druming is supreme, Rivers and Brian seem much less controlled and much more expressive. And Scott isn't Matt, isn't Mikey; he's all new and all class - the level of rock he brings into =W= is immeasurable.
If the album has one failing, it's the sheer level of cheesy vocal support - the "woah woah"s and "ooh-ooh"s get TOO much at times, but having said that they're steadily growing on me.
But, only Weezer fans tend to buy Weezer records (good job there's plenty of 'em :) ), and no Weez fan should be missing this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reminds me why I liked them in the first place!, 14 May 2002
By Mr. M. J. Hulme - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
After waiting oh so patiently for 5 years, just to receive the 28-minute water treading exercise that was the Green album, my patience with Weezer was just about all out. Pass me the humble pie - this album reminds me what I saw in them in the first place. Apparently, Rivers Cuomo has been stockpiling songs for the last five years, and here are fourteen songs that, unlike their previous offering, have dynamics, a balance of light and shade, and some of the most catchy choruses and guitar hooks Weezer have ever offered us.

As always, the guitars crackle and fizz and feedback in just the right places, and each song cuts into the chorus just where you want it to, lifting each track higher into the stratosphere and taking you with it. The rhythm section sound far more composed with the change of bass player, and Rivers and co sound like they are having fun playing this music again. Experimentation also features on this album, with some wah-wah, differing time signatures, and a couple of tracks that border on some bizarre kind of out there rock-funk fusion. But for the most part this is one huge guitar and vocal harmony workout that is as good as anything Weezer have ever done.
