Maladroit

Weezer

Heavy metal riffs meet sugary power pop melodies. A crunchy, restless record defined by thick distortion and surprisingly technical guitar solos.

May 11, 2002 · Geffen Records

Find on Amazon

Thick, metallic guitar riffs and aggressive, technical solos smash through the tidy pop boundaries of the band's recent past. This record trades clean, disciplined geometry for a moody, nocturnal swagger, letting the amplifiers roar with a heavy metal edge while keeping the underlying melodies sweet. It is a restless, defiant collection that sounds like a private world built out of Marshall stacks and internet message boards.

Moments Worth Waiting For
07Burndt JambThe unexpected jazz-pop groove of 'Burndt Jamb' suddenly gives way to a heavy, crushing wall of distorted guitar chords in the chorus.
