Raditude still feels like the product of Rivers Cuomo, who’s no less unnerved by girls than he was before his 15 years of rock stardom.
It's Weezer's deft mixing of immediately hummable rock with lyrics that reveal Cuomo's own melancholy gaze on the pop landscape that makes Raditude a passionate surrender to growing up and a throw-your-arms-up-and-scream ride down the other side of the mid-life roller coaster.
The not-quite-ironic melancholy of “Can’t Stop Partying” may reflect a uniquely twisted relationship with his twisted audience. But from the sound of Raditude, Cuomo savors every minute of it.
Most of Cuomo’s past work shows a man wracked with self-doubt and angst but an album like Raditude stands as a therapeutic step forward.
Raditude is not for anyone looking for anything serious. It’s goofy; it has slick production, and it doesn’t hold a candle to the first two classic Weezer albums.
Raditude may not be a return to form but it's definitely a step up, hitting the fun, power pop sound that Make Believe and The Red Album struggled to achieve.
Accepted on these terms, Raditude might be enjoyed for what it is — extremely catchy, fist-pumping pop — and for what it represents: escapism. Still, its flaws are obvious; the second half sags, the ballads bore, and weirdly, it’s too short.
You see, he’s trying to be a meta-pop-star, and every airbrushed, force-fed, and sterilized note on Raditude is simply an intellectual exercise.
Raditude ... is in no way unique in Weezer’s recent career. When it’s good, it’s a surprise; when it’s bad, it’s incomprehensibly atrocious.
Raditude is thoroughly extraneous. It is Weezer’s worst album.
In the end, it doesn’t matter if you look at this as a Weezer album or just a pop album, because the result is the same: Raditude is not art.
I just did sex so hard to this girl. She was moaning and stuff and i did sex so hard and so good with her. She was all "Please have good sex with me" and I said back "Yeah, I'm going to really sex you so great lady" and she's like "Thanks". It was so good and so hot and we both loved making a sex on all the positions. At the end I was all "Hey, I'm going to finish sex now" and she said "Yes, that would be nice if you finished so hard on that ... read more
