  1. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    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

  2. 6.0 |   Spin

    ...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

  3. 6.0 |   NME

    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’

  4. 6.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  5. 6.0 |   Blurt

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

  6. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   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

  8. 5.0 |   Pitchfork

    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

  9. 4.5 |   Pitchfork

    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

  10. 4.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    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

  11. 4.0 |   Eye Weekly

    When exactly did Weezer devolve from a genius-led pop anomaly to a tired old jingle generator?

  12. 4.0 |   No Ripcord

    Alas, Weezer disappoints again

  13. 3.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    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

  14. 1.0 |   PopMatters

    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
