While we haven’t returned to the giddy heights of The Blue Album and Pinkerton, Raditude is almost as much fun as the leaping dog on the cover

...its flaws are obvious; the second half sags, the ballads bore, and weirdly, it's too short. Old-school Weezer fans won't like it, and neither will blog-rock acolytes. But that's the point. Raditude is the murderous revenge of the middlebrow

The band are on more comfortable ground when they play to their traditional strengths. ‘Put Me Back Together’ is magnificent, a heartsore tale of nerd romance to rank alongside ‘Buddy Holly’

But Rivers is a long way off from "Buddy Holly." And that's when he sounds like he's not really trying

The List
Bouncy, piss-takey singles abound as always, and Cuomo’s skill for a bittersweet love story with a fizzy chorus remains his strongest hand

Nobody is going to confuse this with 1990s Weezer ... but the lows aren't as low or as frequent as they were in recent years

All together, it sounds like the first record ever written with the goal expressly in mind of being kick-ass to play on Rock Band

Raditude is completely harmless- a one off listen that’ll provide a catchy hook in a fix, maybe even a smile or two before it inevitably settles somewhere between Maladroit and Red Album in the Weezer discography, likely never to be listened to again

When it’s good, it’s a surprise; when it’s bad, it’s incomprehensibly atrocious. But for the most part, it is dull, empty and devoid of sentiment, and that is its greatest crime

Coldly calculated, joyless product that is designed to be sold, not to be enjoyed. As a Weezer album, it is nothing short of a profound disappointment. By any other standard, it’s just the worst album of the year
