My top 3 of Post-Pinkerton Weezer is:
1) White Album
2) Maladroit
3) Green Album

Thought White was a really good and consistent album from start to finish. Maladroit is extremely underrated, and Green has a few hits that I really enjoy but I think it's a bit overrated for Weezer.

I used to stan Maladroit pretty hard.

I have a hard time believing any Weezer album is great beyond these. Good, but not Great:
Weezer (The Blue Album) Weezer 1994 2 95.5
Weezer (The Green Album) Weezer 2001 1 92.5
Weezer (The Red Album) Weezer 2008 4 92.5
Pinkerton Weezer 1996 2 91

EWBAITE is pretty solid, but I bet it won't age well.

I was pretty impressed with some of the covers on teal, but overall wouldn't really purposely listen to that album because they really more or less played the songs just like the original. It wasn't like the Renegades album from Rage, where that's really a unique take on covers... so much so, I didn't even know it was a covers album until I read about the album.

From the singles it doesn't seem Weezer's black album will be incredible. It does sound like a different sound for them, so good for them for stretching it (and not in a Raditude way).

Anyway, as much as I love Weezer due to my formative years, they really are B rate group in the grand scheme of things. A rated to my teenage self.

I get this, but somehow still love it.

Green and Maladroit are both really good albums. I'd give it to Green by a whisker-probably because I'm more of a Power Pop than Metal fan.

Haven't listen to any other post-Pinkerton albums yet apart from Make Believe (Meh'k Believe?) and Teal, which I like a lot, but not as much as Green.

Looking forward to trying White and EWBAITE at some point, but I'd be surprised if I like them as much as Green and Maladroit.

Like others on this thread, I also prefer Blue to Pinkerton. On re-listening to this album for the first time in over 20 years, I'm honestly stunned at how good it is.

1. Blue Album
2. Pinkerton
3. Songs from the Black Hole
4. Green Album
Everything else? Fuck if I know. I know Raditude is last. That may be the worst album I've ever heard.

Surprised that nobody picked EWBAIT, it's a close second for me after The White Album.

My Ranking would go like this:

1. The Blue Album
2. Pinkerton
3. The White Album
4. EWBAIT
5. The Red Album
6. Maladroit
7. Hurley
8. The Green Album
9. Pacific Daydream
10. Make Believe
11. Raditude

EWBAIT... I nearly did. I gave them roughly a similar score in the moment, but my gut says Red is better.

EDIT: also surprised The Green Album is so low, yet the white album so high. I hear a lot of people say White Album is pop bliss and I think the Green Album is much better in this regard. Anyway, curious why.

Went to see Weezer live a few months ago. It was telling that they played two songs off of the album they were touring to promote, yet nine songs off of the Blue Album. And no songs off of Pinkerton.

Dammit... I'm old.

Also hell yes... another Red Album vote. 🕺

TBH White Album is only getting so many votes cause most people haven't listened to the others. Green, Maladroit, Everything Will Be Alright and White are all very good, any of them could get my vote, but I feel Maladroit is the most overlooked.

Wow - white album is pretty shocking to me. Perhaps I need to listen to it more...

I know many said it was sugar pop bliss, but I really just felt it was B-Sides from their Green album or something. No real "radio hits" for a pop bliss album and really just mediocre altogether (imo of course).

I'd love to hear more about this white album point of view.

Pretty much.

Also this is how I'd rank them (below).

Also I'm hopeful for the Black Album, but not really having any expectations either.

I actually don't share the opinion that the White Album was good... I felt it was a collection of B-sides left over from better/earlier days.

And I actually really like the Red album for post Pinkerton. I voted for the Red Album, but I suppose those three really could have taken the vote.

I didn't rate/rank any other album, but they easily would have been less than a 70. They are total garbage.

Weezer (The Blue Album) Weezer 1994 2 95.5
Everything Will Be Alright In The End Weezer 2014 1 93
Weezer (The Green Album) Weezer 2001 1 92.5
Weezer (The Red Album) Weezer 2008 4 92.5
Pinkerton Weezer 1996 2 91
Maladroit Weezer 2002 8 88
Weezer (The White Album) Weezer 2016 4 83.5
Make Believe Weezer 2005 10 80
