It's time for the bi-monthly Weezer thread, but this one's different - no discussion of whether Blue is better than Pinkerton please.
This thread is all about Green vs Maladroit, i think.
Green wins.

Green, for me
Green
Green
It's fairly decent
Green
1 - Pinkerton
2 - Blue
3 - Green
there was a time
when I thought Green was the second best.
Obviously I was wrong, but it's still easily the 3rd best.
green
because of the motherfucking singles.
Green is woeful
It sounds like every other, over-produced generic "heavy" rock MTV album of the time and, i'm sorry, 2nd track in and the "oh baby!" backing vocals of Photograph make me want to reach into my ears and pull out my life. After such a ferocious and spiteful, humungously noisy record such as Pinkerton, this is an absolute insult. Nothing they did after Pinkterton is worthy of your time.
Green
Green
But please let it be known that Maladroit IS a good album
maladroit by a long way
a VERY long way
you seem to be in the minority
therefore you are wrong and need to change your opinion
k?
Green
It's a pretty good album actually - Don't Let Go, Smile, Simple Pages especially.
Maladriot isn't bad, it's just not as good as Green.
Smile
sounds like Boyzone with a distorted guitar in the background. I don't understand how people can listen to this.
Well the music
comes out of the speakers, sound waves travel through the air, and then reach the ear, making the ear drum vibrate, and so on.

Green/Maladroit
It's too close to call for me.
.
Actually, I'll go for Maladroit because of 'Keep Fishin'.
Green, I suppose
though I don't care much for it. The production is horribly shiny and vocal melody-mimicking guitar solos grate like buggery, but some of the songs are alright - Knock Down Drag Out, Don't Let Go, Smile spring to mind.
Maladroit or Make Believe are just irredeemably bad, though.
*Maladroit and Make Believe
I mean
Green
although there's not much in it. Take Control is great, but the only track of any worth on Maladroit.
Pinkerton
1. Blue
2. Green
3. Pinkerton
Green
They have gotten progressively worse, but 'Green' is an '8' no doubt.
Maladroit
Never felt so alone
hmm
Maladroit is unfairly maligned, i feel. The chorus for American Gigolo is in my top 3 Weezer moments.
I'd probably just about go with Green though.
Blue
oh yeah.
green
but why bother with it at all when you've got pinkerton and blue..?
because there are good songs that aren't on Blue or Pinkerton
such as Keep Fishin' in particular
Green
Island In The Sun > the whole of Maladroit.
Island in the Sun is a great song
but it has been diluted somewhat by the way they've managed to get it on both Maladroit AND Make Believe since in some form. They'll probably stick it on the next one too.
that's
down to Geffen and not the band.
But yeah...Green is still pretty shit...
I know it is
But it still dilutes the song's quality a little for me.
fingers crossed
next one ?
I only have blue and pinkerton. Iv been told I'm not missing out.
You're really not
It's true that everything they recorded after Pinkerton is shit.
But...
If they merged the last 3 albums into one, got rid of all the crap and left all the good stuff, you'd have a fantastic album.
this is very correct
thats what they should have done, merged the fuck out of them and released one great album
green is way way better than maladriot
cos maladroits derivative shite
.
Listen to Green more but do enjoy a good outta-nowhere listen to Maldroit. Green's more of a summer record, and that's surely what Weezer were made for.
Green
> Maladroit
Green is cack but it does have Hash Pipe & Island in the sun on
whilst Maladroit has no songs of any note or worth on, in fact it is the 2nd worst LP ever after Moseley Shells by OCS
