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.

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.

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.

Weezer (The Green Album), considering that is their overall best album. No Weezer album is in my Top 100 albums of all though.

I think Green is incredibly bland and formulaic. I like a lot of the songs individually, but as a collective, the record is disingenuous to me

I get this, but somehow still love it.

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.

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.
