Say what you will about the last two albums, but I think the few worthwhile songs from each one were released as singles, particularly those from the green album. That the first single from this new one is this bad isn't a good sign.
Speaking of which, I used to defend the second s/t Weezer disc, but time hasn't been very kind to it. As for Maladroit, I haven't listened to it since it came out, nor do I have any urge to change that.
