Maladroit

Product Information

Inc, Nielsen Business Media (2002-06-01). Billboard. {{ cite book}}: |last= has generic name ( help) In terms of actual album content, Maladroit is so much better than most remember. It’s a peculiar kind of aging, and what you think of the album may have everything to do with how old you are. For those ’90s die-hards who won’t accept anything after Pinkerton, Maladroit represents a broken, unacceptable band on a perma-decline. For the younger sect — say, anyone born in or after the ’90s — Maladroit is early enough in Weezer’s overall catalog that it represents an acceptable entry point before things got really bad. (To be fair, lots of people do legitimately enjoy their latter- and present-day material too, and Maladroit probably sounds like a masterpiece to those people.) I only like the chorus of this song. everything else annoys me. instruments sound bad until chorus too. verses bad bad versus, bad verses! also pointless guitar solo Darker and Edgier: Music-wise, it's much heavier and aggressive than The Green Album. It's also more complex and ambitious. Lyrics-wise, it stayed the same.

filler song, I didnt remember it after listening three times. song is fairly pointless. do not care for it at all, glad it is short though ya yay I like short things s I love short things I dont like this song nearly as much as the first two. very very generic. lyrics weak again, chorus is not very good. I dont really enjoy this song but the title has fish in it so I like that. last minute of the song also has a change that I like a lot more then the rest so that is strange, strange weezer, like a ghost, strange. Despite the strong sales of its two singles and its #3 spot on the Billboard 200, the album underperformed, going gold, but selling a paltry 605,000 units note as of December 2007; not as terribly as Pinkerton when it first came out, but a far cry from the much more successful Green Album.

Due to the head start that "Dope Nose" was given, it proved to be yet another successful single for the band. An additional single, "Keep Fishin'", was released in September of 2002 with a music video featuring The Muppets (yes, THE Muppets). this song starts off bad and annoying to me but after about a minute it switches and sounds much better, not annoying, catchy, fun. Lyrics are not very good but instruments sound nice and song is really fun I said fun again yay yay yay fun Cuomo describes “The World Has Turned and Left Me Here,” and the song that immediately precedes it, “No One Else,” thusly: ““No One Else” is about the jealous obsessive a__hole in me freaking out on my girlfriend …“The World Has Turned and Left Me Here” is the same a__ole wondering why she’s gone.” While Cuomo’s lyrics on Pinkerton can sound problematic by today’s standards, this song is a reminder that he’s not promoting misogyny so much as thoughtfully probing it. 15: LA Girlz Canada's Top 200 Alternative albums of 2002".

There’s no downplaying what this song is about, so here it goes: “Across the Sea” is Cuomo’s fantasy about a Japanese girl who sent him a letter. “I wonder how you touch yourself / And curse myself for being across the sea,” Cuomo sings. It’s easily the most unsettling song on Pinkerton, but as a portrait of obsession and isolation, it’s a masterpiece. Though the details in “Across the Sea” are specific to Cuomo, many of his listeners could relate to his feelings of loneliness and shame. 3: Say It Ain’t SoThe songwriting here is very fun, quirky and exotic, and Rivers Cuomo has the time of his life on some of these songs. Scott Shriner is a member of Weezer for the first time, hey Scott! Cuomo: Yeah, or asking me to play a certain song. They’re all little bitches, so I avoid them at all costs. song is pretty fun too, I just do not like it as much due to annoying chorus. I find rivers saying "Oh" a bunch to be a really unexciting chorus. Everything else about this song is fine though. I hope rivers beats up my man. singing annoys me slightly on this, lyrics do too. that said, there is something about this song I like, I just couldnt say what. song is perfectly fine, not bad, would suggest more barking.

There’s a good chance that in the audience at any given Weezer show, there’s a guy named Jonas who goes nuts as soon as that acoustic jingle at the start of “My Name Is Jonas” rings out. The opening song on Weezer’s first album is a goofy, absurdist yarn about Cuomo’s brother getting stiffed by his car insurance provider. The lyrics don’t make a lot of sense if you try to parse them – what kind of a name is Wepeel? Why are the workers going home? – but the song is an absolute joy among Weezer songs, right down to its climactic harmonica solo. 4: Across the Sea Cuomo, Rivers. "The Catalog O' Riffs" 2002. Archived by Weezerpedia: http://weezerpedia.com/catalogofriffs.html song sounds fairly nice, nice soft song, lyrics seem pointless but I like how the song sounds. not much else to say, perfectly good song that deserves to be on album. the do's annoy me during chorus

Here’s your standard music critic view of Weezer: Pinkerton is their best album. There’s nothing contrarian, revolutionary, or even very interesting about saying that. But you know what: it’s true. Pinkerton is the best album that Weezer ever wrote, and it’s probably the best piece of work that Rivers Cuomo will ever attach his name to.
