Rivers hasn't put out a great record in almost a decade. If he's still keen on letting the other band members sing, this won't be any good. And the simple fact that he wrote this album with hired singer/songwriters like Butch Walker shows that he's either running low on ideas and/or desperate to write another Pinkerton.

I'll always check out weezer albums, though I don't expect much of them since Make Believe. I only dug one song from that. I'm pretty sure Ozma stole River's powers though.

Weezer will always be cool in my book. I loved the Red album. Make Believe is the only one that isn't really that good. Raditude is the best name for an album ever. Can't wait.

I think Maladroit is a damn fine record.
If Maladroit ended after Fall Together, it'd be the best Weezer album to me. Those last few songs really drag it down a notch but it's all killer material up til then.

i really don't understand rivers...seriously
blue album is all like self-depricating regular rock and roll stuff and whatnot
beverly hills and whatnot is just like...what the fuck? its like the geeky guy getting up in front of the class to try and be cool and rap or something just get back to being not cool and writing good songs
I think first and foremost Weezer has always been about having fun, and not really caring too much about what people think. A lot of people are too stiff and don't quite know how to have fun themselves sometimes, therefore they don't understand. And that which they don't understand, they automatically dislike. That to me is not the right kind of raditude to have in life.
