Maladroit

|
Maladroit is the fourth album by Weezer. It was released on May 14, 2002 (see 2002 in music) and was the first Weezer album to stray from the 10 song per album "tradition". Maladroit features heavy metal riffs and guitar solos, features uncommon to Weezer's previous releases. It was also the first Weezer album to include lyrics in the booklet. Maladroit is Weezer's first album with band member Scott Shriner. While Maladroit has many supporters, some Weezer fans dislike the direction that the band took with this album.
As of May 2005, the album had sold more than 583,000 copies in the United States, having reached a high of #3 on the Billboard 200 and quickly going gold.
