Maladroit is the fourth studio album by Weezer, released on May 14, 2002. Self-produced by the band themselves, the album is the first Weezer album to feature bassist Scott Shriner, following the departure of former bassist Mikey Welsh in 2001.
Weezer's third album, a brighter more polished album than predecessor Pinkerton. Emphasis on power pop structures and melody and straying away from personal subject matters that made Pinkerton less commercially successful
