Said Koch:

Due to the head start that "Dope Nose" was given, it proved to be yet another successful single for the band. An additional single, "Keep Fishin'", was released in September of 2002 with a music video featuring The Muppets (yes, THE Muppets). Darker and Edgier: Music-wise, it's much heavier and aggressive than The Green Album. It's also more complex and ambitious. Lyrics-wise, it stayed the same.

Listening to every Weezer album from worst rated to best nondescript guitars play over boring lyrics. but I like this type of music so I dont mind; melodies are fun and catchy occasionally; songs are fun. yay yay. I like this more than green, more exciting. (too many guitar solos)

Maladroit was the first Weezer album to be released on the Enhanced CD format, allowing the CD to also house bonus videos to be accessed with a computer equipped with a CD drive alongside the album. Cuomo: Yeah, or asking me to play a certain song. They’re all little bitches, so I avoid them at all costs. In a 2022 retrospective on the occasion of Maladroit's 20th anniversary, Stereogum writer Rachel Brodsky said of the record, "In terms of actual album content, Maladroit is so much better than most remember. It’s a peculiar kind of aging, and what you think of the album may have everything to do with how old you are. For those ’90s die-hards who won’t accept anything after Pinkerton, Maladroit represents a broken, unacceptable band on a perma-decline. For the younger sect — say, anyone born in or after the ’90s — Maladroit is early enough in Weezer’s overall catalog that it represents an acceptable entry point before things got really bad."

Other than that, however, Maladroit is a good example of what Weezer can achieve, if they take out their heads from their own buttholes.I only like the chorus of this song. everything else annoys me. instruments sound bad until chorus too. verses bad bad versus, bad verses! also pointless guitar solo filler song, I didnt remember it after listening three times. song is fairly pointless. do not care for it at all, glad it is short though ya yay I like short things s I love short things Canada's Top 200 Alternative albums of 2002".

Weezer[Good Album] Honestly, Maladroit is everything that the Green Album ever wanted to be, and maybe a little bit more. Sure, it isn't a masterpiece and fails to reach the same heights as their debut, the peak-geek-freak amazing record, but Maladroit is really nice. The Not-Remix: Though they re-recorded "Keep Fishin'" entirely for the music video and single version, the most discernable differences are a new acoustic guitar intro note the album version starts with a couple measures of drums instead and a slightly different ending.

Spin Magazine Staff. "Best Albums of 2002". Spin. Archived from the original on 2012-10-12 . Retrieved 2007-10-02.As with all Weezer albums, it was an album of firsts. It was the first album to feature current bassist Scott Shriner after the breakdown and departure of Mikey Welsh, the first to contain a booklet with lyrics (which included a special message thanking Weezer boardies), and the first to feature more than ten songs. The first 600,000 copies of Maladroit were numbered in a limited edition, with gold foil digits at the bottom corner. Cuomo describes “The World Has Turned and Left Me Here,” and the song that immediately precedes it, “No One Else,” thusly: ““No One Else” is about the jealous obsessive a__hole in me freaking out on my girlfriend …“The World Has Turned and Left Me Here” is the same a__ole wondering why she’s gone.” While Cuomo’s lyrics on Pinkerton can sound problematic by today’s standards, this song is a reminder that he’s not promoting misogyny so much as thoughtfully probing it. 15: LA Girlz
