	Weezer - Maladroit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		MALADROIT finds Cuomo and his post-modern pals continuing to walk that tricky tightrope between rock and "rock." Whether you believe they mean it or not, the visceral pleasures of the chugging "Dope Nose," the Gary Glitter rivalry of "Keep Fishin'," and the white-boy RandB of "Burndt Jamb" are easy to assimilate.
		Maladroit, their fourth, follows 2001’s The Green Album in under 12 months, confirming the theory that Cuomo has stockpiled songs like an arms-hoarding Unabomber brooding in his stockade.
		Maladroit, the latest grouping of songs from Cuomo's manically prolific pen, follows barely a year after the band's long-awaited Green Album and signals the complete emergence of Cuomo the Song Machine, a man with a brain so full of music that he has to drain it regularly to stay alive.

	Weezer: Maladroit [2002] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
		Weezer's self-produced fourth full-length, Maladroit, is an odd mix of old Weezer, even older '70s hard rock, and an semi-successful attempt to broaden the overall sound of the band.
		Maladroit hearkens back to a bit of the darkness of Pinkerton and almost appears a conscious attempt to explode the lightheartedness of the Green Album in favor of a tougher, ballsier Weezer; a group with teeth, capable of blowing the amps out and bringing down the house.
		The general theme of Maladroit is one of road weariness, like a travelogue of a quartet that's played too many dates and simply craves a little time off from the press and the fans.

	Northwestern Chronicle: ‘Maladroit’ meets expectations
		Maladroit, however, is an album that everyone ought to love.
		Maladroit then moves from "Slob" to its musical opposite: the catchy, eccentric "Burndt Jamb." The guitar riff will get stuck in listeners' heads and never get out, and it is complemented well by just the right amount of emphasis on the bass and background vocals.
		Maladroit is a diverse and versatile album that shows even bands as well established and popular as Weezer can outdo themselves.

		To truly Maladroit a chance, you must forget everything you know about Weezer's first two albums, the "blue album" and Pinkerton.
		Maladroit is clearly arena rock, which is further shown in the disc's bonus footage, which features segments of five live songs.
		Unless you are a die-hard fan or can be content admiring Maladroit for its incredible guitar work, this album is for a new breed of Weezer fan.

	Weezer: Maladroit (2002): Reviews
		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 Cuomo’s lyrics.
		Maladroit picks up where the Green Album slacked off, relying on the same chunky sonics that set "Hash Pipe" apart from Weezer's earlier, more lithe singles.
		Maladroit is the emo equivalent of '70s arena rock -- a bracingly cocky attitude that tag-teams with its partner, navel-gazing.

	In Music We Trust - Weezer: Maladroit
		On Cuomo and company's latest disc, Maladroit, all elements that the band has been and still is come together to make an incredibly pleasing package.
		Amazing as this all sounds, the final straw occurred when Rivers sent a copy of several of the new songs to many radio stations himself, as he is the band's manager.
		Maladroit is an off-the-cuff statement of post-hard-rock love.

	Weezer: Maladroit: Pitchfork Record Review
		But to give them the benefit of the doubt, it's pretty apparent what the Weez are shooting for with the new record-- a further distillation of their power-pop specialties into short, catchy, big-riff-centered nuggets.
		The flying-V guitars and large light-up =W= of their stage act no longer carry the wink that they used to, and these songs are tailored specifically to provoke mosh pits and elicit rampant flashing of devil-horns.
		Maybe so, but it should be noted that I was a late-blooming Weezer fan, having written them off back in their first heyday and only cultivating a true appreciation for them over the last couple years.

	Maladroit \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		Musically, the band steers away from shiny pop, exploring blustery terrain throughout classic-rock-informed material like "Take Control" and "Dope Nose." But for all its chunky, rocking charms, Maladroit's final contradiction is that it's a collection of two- and three-minute songs that individually and collectively reveal their strengths slowly.
		These days, it takes several listens to grasp the complexities of a Weezer record, which is testimony to Cuomo's evolution as a songwriter and an icon.
		Maladroit may not be easy to love at first, but the effort it requires is part of the payoff.

	Review: Weezer - Maladroit - Film Junk
		“Maladroit” (mal-uh-dwaht) generally means “inept” as an English word, but the literal translation is “awkward”, which in itself is a pretty reasonable description of the album.
		Maladroit makes me want to go back to the Green album, regardless of its dry songwriting and mostly forgettable moments, and cherish it just because of how much more closely it resembled the big W’s first two classic records.
		Maladroit is another sub-par album from Weezer, and it has become clear that without Matt Sharp their songwriting just can’t measure up to what it once was.

		And being self-produced by a band with a history of dysfunctionality and procrastination, it is an accomplishment to applaud.
		Maladroit's loud, catchy as hell and leaves a lasting impression on listeners.
		And Weezer played their cards just right with this one: The initial flop of Pinkerton left the band dead in the water; they were left flummoxed, heartbroken and in desperate need of a booster in their discography.

	Plan 9 Music: Album: Weezer - Maladroit
		Like a modern day Buddy Holly, only disclosing emotional scars with feedbacking guitars instead of teeny-bopper love, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo speaks to the masses about girls, who could be named Peggy Sue, that don't call him back and feelings of awkwardness in a society that believes only the strong survive.
		Skillful and clever, MALADROIT continues the power pop structures of last year's album with more focus on the guitar.
		While MALADROIT is filled with catchy tracks, it's for this calculated reason that there's an overall feeling of uncertainty.

	WEEZER: Maladroit (Geffen) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Ironically, prior to 'Green,' the Weezer revival had been indefinitely on hold, leaving many die hard fans to wonder if the band would ever be back, or if geek rock as they had grown to know it was truly gone forever.
		Weaving in and out of peppy pop, brash rock and even times mixing a bit of the both, their latest release, Maladroit, seems to be focused on rocking out.
		For curious Behind-the-Music type minds, Maladroit is an adjective meaning inept or awkward, something the boys of Weezer have amazingly made cool for nearly a decade now.

		Maladroit is a good mix of the previous Weezer sounds: catchy, loud, and even gasp! emotive.
		It's a self made album, funded entirely by the band themselves, and demo versions of these songs were posted on the band's website back in January of this year so fans could give feedback on them.
		Maladroit is not Weezer's best work, but it's not far off.

	Maladroit \| music : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		''Maladroit'' is imbued with the brashness, confidence, and oddness of the band's recent actions.
		Pushy and borderline obnoxious, ''Maladroit'' lives up to Cuomo's comments about wanting to make a Kiss-style rave-up, which goes hand in hand with the band playing ever-bigger halls since last year.
		''Maladroit'' is dominated by songs that are heavy, man but feel slight or unfinished, like ''Burndt Jamb,'' built on a disco riff, and ''Space Rock,'' a gripe about children that barely makes it to two minutes.

		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.
		'Maladroit' has melodic guitars and catchy hooks and is more in line with 'The Green Album' than their self titled debut, or 'Pinkerton'.
		After the slightly disappointing Green Album, Maladroit was a welcome return of the Weezer we know and love.

	Weezer - Maladroit review
		While they manage to lift more than their share of cheesy, arena-friendly power chord rock riffs from the likes of Cheap Trick, Kiss, Thin Lizzy, and Ted Nugent during the 33 minutes that is Maladroit, Cuomo’s idiosyncratic vocal style and sophisticated-pop-geek-songwriter sensibilities keep you from taking their heavy metal thunder pose too seriously.
		That being said, Maladroit seems a logical extension of their last record, you suppose.
		They’re a little louder, a little less sugary, and a little shorter (only one song on Maladroit is over three minutes), but otherwise sound as if they might have been produced during the same recording sessions.

		So, Maladroit is Cuomo’s attempt to meet Weezer fans halfway.
		Thankfully, Maladroit showcases the band’s inherent charm, as on the early albums.
		Maladroit is definitely on the right track, though, and Cuomo can rest easy knowing that Weezer is in no danger of being replaced by any of its minions if it keeps putting albums like this on the table.

	Nude as the News: Weezer: Maladroit
		So I gave Maladroit the second chance it deserves (and in a much more conducive listening environment — on the open road).
		And he scribes these lyrics in some universal code all his own -— simple and concise, yet vague and mysterious —- and always ready to be sung along to.
		The only disagreement I have with Maladroit, as with previous Weezer LPs, is the album’s length -- clocking in at just over a half hour.

		Maladroit kommt etwas mehr als zwölf Monate nach The Green Album, und wir erleben die Power-Popband aus Los Angeles inmitten einer besonders fruchtbaren Schaffensperiode.
		Und jetzt, gerade mal ein knappes Jahr später, erscheint "Maladroit": Wieder ein komischer Albumtitel, ein merkwürdiges Gemälde, und deutlich ruppigere, scheinbar angestrengte Stücke.
		Erst melden sich die Herren von Weezer jahrelang nicht zu Wort und dann bringen sie gleich zwei Platten in einem kurzen Zeitabstand raus.

	Slant Magazine - Music Review: Weezer: Maladroit
		But as rock continues to spill over with testosterone, fresh faces like Jimmy Eat World and Tenacious D have snuck their lighter brand onto the radio, and there's plenty room for more.
		In fact, none of Maladroit even hints at the fierce originality of the band's early records, but it's still undeniably Weezer.
		(Speaking of originality, Cuomo must be paying close attention to the Kylie Comeback because no one in their right mind would rip off "The Locomotion" as shamelessly as he does in "Love Explosion.") Maladroit isn't the next big thing, but at least we have something to listen to while we wait for it.
