607. Weezer - maladroit

I love Maladroit. The band had all this momentuum, the green album had sold very well, everybody was happy that they were back. So Rivers, being a very prolific songwriter, was able to release Maladroit rather quickly. The band self produced the disc (I think), there was even a limited numbered series for the record (where I think the only thing limited to it was the numbering), and the disc didn't sell well enough. It was basically Pinkerton all over again. Maladroit has the pop goodness that was found on the green album, as well as some heavier, darker stuff - almost metal like in nature. In all it's a much more intimate album than the previous one.
