Where this album falters is in its pacing. The album, while undeniably ... read more

Welcome back to episode 5 of charlie17 listens to weezer’s shitty back catalogue. Tonight I’m listening to an album that people say is not shitty, 2002’s “Maladroit.” My expectations are at rock f*cking bottom after hearing raditude, so let’s just see if this album is alright.
