Wow. Just… wow. This video legitimately had me in tears. Has my life’s work amounted to this? Am I fated to forever be on the cover of the OBJECTIVE worst Weezer album? Whenever I close my eyes, I think back to the jump in 2009. After years of training and failed attempts, I had finally done it; I took in all the incredible sights of the living room as I soared through the air in the most rad way possible. When I won that NatGeo photo competition, when Rivers chose me to be on the cover of Weezer’s new album… I was on top of the world. But then the reviews came in. I then devoted my life to passionately defending Raditude as a misunderstood masterpiece, a brilliant work of art. But sometimes it becomes too much. And as I sit here writing this, I’m starting to think, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I need to stop fighting and let Anthony Fantano and all the other philistines on KZfaq have their way…. No. I refuse to give in. Not only will I maintain my stance on Raditude, but I will double down on Raditude 2: Still Partying. This WILL be the OBJECTIVE best Weezer album. I will get features from every generic pop-rapper in the game, help Rivers write the most epic lyrical poetry, and find the most overblown synthesizers The Girl from Pacific Daydream has in her “stuff to never use” folder in the laptop that I stole. Prepare for an epic magnum opus, the Morbius of rock albums, the best, most epicest party extravaganza your ears will ever be blessed with. Or I could just get Butch to throw something together. That might be easier. Anyways, time to get back to partying! I told The Lawn Gnome from Pinkerton that there would be Asian girls at this party. Cheers! -Sidney

Raditude is an album for the intellectual

All this tells me is that Weezer is the most psychotic band on the face of the earth

Teal struck up me pretty weird since it's idea came from a one lone girl from Iowa who wanted Weezer to cover Africa by Toto, at the time when it was a meme, she made a twitter acc to promote it, it went viral, weezer responded and covered the song, which is nice yeah? but for them to cover one song as a fan request, to them deciding to make an entire cover album is just baffling to me, why? no one said "wow weezer made a good cover of africa, why not cover other songs you like?" it's just weird.

I absolutely love red album.

Your mention of Make Believe having its sound crushed down so the songs would be cohesive together made me seek out some of the demos for tunes like Haunt You and Hold Me and now I wish we had an album with that production. Dude sounds like he's having a genuinely hard time and Haunt You sounds genuinely massive and heavy. Lyrics still aren't the best but I think there's something special in some of those.

I will say one thing: last summer I was on my friend's boat cruising down the bay on a perfect day and he blasted "Feels like Summer" and I dunno, it just felt right in that moment.

Lol I was just enjoying this man's videos earlier this morning and then this video starts on Autoplay and I didn't realise that it was uploaded less than an hour ago until half way through the video XD

My friends and I still talk about the day we skipped school and drove to Best Buy to buy and listen to Make Believe the day it dropped. We listened to it twice back to back because, I don't know, maybe we thought we listened to it wrong? "We should've just gone to class" was and still is our consensus. That said, I didn't quit Weezer until Raditude, an album so bad that I didn't give Weezer another chance until White Album, and I didn't even go back and listen to EWBAITE or Hurley until I was stuck quarantining during the pandemic. Raditude just broke me.

I was not a big fan of Make Believe when it first came out, but when I listened to it a few years ago, it had a bit of a charm to it--probably either the nostalgia or the realization it's still 1,000 times better than most of the albums released after it. I still can't stand "Beverly Hills" or "We are All on Drugs."

Here before name change

you need to release a full version of the Can't stop partying and All star mashup

I love Raditude so much but sometimes I have my doubts as well. Objectively, was chosen as the worst album but I still love and enjoy it after so many years.

Raditude is so good if you swap out can’t stop partying for the alternate, and skip love is the answer and in the mall. Solid 10 tracks with the bonus tracks included. It’s in my top half and has been from the beginning.

Pacific daydream and Red are so good for me. I love both of them.

Nah man, Pacific Daydream is great. I will routinely declare to myself that it's 'hot, hot 100 degrees' at various points throughout the day irregardless of what the temperature actually is

Don't think I missed that split second clip of Wendigoon. I'm watching you.

I love Red. It ranks 7th in my ranking, above Green and Maladroit. The Greatest Man That Ever Lived, Pork And Beans, The Angel And The One, Dreamin are all great tracks.

Van Weezer is weird because it’s not like Rivers is unfamiliar with metal. He made some solid Shrapnel-style metal in Avant-garde/Zoom, so I don’t know why he just made a nondescript Weezer album with a occasional dive bomb. His use of autotune in recent years is also annoying, it’s not like he needs it, it only makes his voice sound gross and artificial

Before watching:in the comments of last time I said Raditude #1 for sure but now I’m thinking the early make believe critic reviews will raise it higher then it deservesz

what a surprise the last place is

I love Hurley album. I think is great. I think there is a little bit of Hurley in all of us.

I love Pacific Daydream. That’s in my top 5. I love listening to it at my boat and my summer BBQs

High as a Kite and I'm Your Daddy are top tier Weezer songs

wake me up when another weezer sound weezer album drops

Make Believe is Pinkerton light but lacking the crunch. The emotion is there but the like emo isn’t there. Like have you heard haunt you everyday!

so you were saying that there's an alternate universe where Make Believe is Pinkerton 2 and not "How do you do, fellow kids?" the album?

not me keeping an eye out for this video even though i didn't even know who weezer is

Another great video. Good job 👍

I am actually shocked and outraged that Raditude got the bottom. It has ONE terrible song in Can't Stop Partying and the rest is absolutely golden 00s pop-punk. I'd put it above many Blink-182 albums. Black is the bottom for me and Teal doesn't count. I think it's also important to know that Black was started before Pacific Daydream, it wasn't Rivers trying to shove more pop down our throats, it was Rivers following through on something promised years earlier.

I have to admit that it hurt me to see Raditude as the worst Weezer album objectively speaking. But it's because it's one of my favorite albums, there's nothing I can do about it. I will continue to love this one even if my opinion is not very popular.

Red is my favourite post-Pinkerton album. So it's weird for me because I've always felt like I'm the one and only hardcore Red fan on the planet. To me it's Weezer at their most tongue-in-cheek and also at their most self celebratory. Something I think was best encapsulated by The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived, one of their all time best deep cuts imo. Outside of the Brian/Pat/Scott songs I really don't think there's a single bad track on it. If you make your own track list and replace them with three of the Deluxe tracks then what you're left with is a perfect album.

I like all the weezer albums, but my first albums and what got me into weezer were Red and Ratitude. I love these albums and they are what I have weezer nostalgia for. I know I am in the minority, but these are my Heart Songs. Also, what an excellent youtube channel. Excellent work

I’m starting to feel bad about how much I like Black

I was in middle school around the time The Red Album and Raditude came out and my parents even took me the the Blink 182-Weezer concert at Shoreline in September of 2009. I knew of Blue, I knew of Make Believe, and I knew of Green. Raditude and the Red Album defined my middle school years and I've listened to Weezer growing up since. We talk about Subjective and Objective, damn Weezer changes when life changes. I used to love tracks like Girl Got Hot because that was the story of most of the girls I knew going into High School. Tracks like Pink Triangle and Slob are a little more adult and talk about relationships in ways a middle schooler wouldn't understand. They're just fun tracks to listen to. Now older, I appreciate albums like EWBAITE and Maladroit because damn I understand them, I grew up and went through angst and the workforce. Art and music will always be subjective, and we may not ever like the same Weezer songs again as we get older or wiser. If You're Wondering If I Want You To needed an official Sara Bareilles featured recording and I love that track fight me.

Or yahhhhh know, you can pick and choose from every album. Raditude as some great stuff on it, and Pacific Daydream is also filled with gems.

Make believe is so over hated, definitely not bottom 5, Pardon me, the other way, and Haunt You are such great songs, and the rest minus beverly hills and my best friend are p good as well

I love Red. It ranks number 3rd in my ranking list.

Nah I think maladroit is underrated but also love Hurley, it’s not as good as maladroit but is much more underrated

What is the background song at the end? (Before i cant stop partying)

I’d say there is a sorta consensus on red of it being the Beatles white album of weezer. On a lower scale of course (both as in less songs and less good) but A.very experimental and B.very inconsistent. Most agree Greatest Man, Angel and the One, and Pork and Beans are good. Most agree Thought I Knew, Cold Dark World, and Everybody Get Dangerous are bad. The other 4 are more divisive but especially if you include b sides it’s an album where most agree at least a third of it is good to great and at least like 20% is at best filler and often outright bad

It's hard living in this cold dark world as a Love is The Answer fan.

The Raditude thing honestly doesn't surprise me. I was on a break from Weezer at the time, so I didn't hear the whole thing when it came out. The first I had heard or seen anything from the album was the live versions of If You're Wondering with Sara Bareilles and I'm Your Daddy with Kenny G. It cannot be overstated how much those two elevated the material. When I finally got around to hearing the album, I definitely checked out on it for good.

Matt Damon is a Raditude fan

I'm ready for this video!

This is not a popular or objective answer but I love Teal and Raditude

It really is Raditude, every other album I get how they eventually find their audience but not with that one. It’s their most cynical collection of songs. Pacific Daydream is actually a really solid pop album. Black is messy but also fine for what it is. Make Believe is all over the place but it’s highlights are great, one of the most over hated albums ever made.

Pacific Daydream > White Also, I would say teal doesn't really count. It's just a fun cover album that's mostly on the good side. But it's just covers. I'm never gonna sit down and listen to Teal like I would OK Human or Pinkerton. I do have most of the songs on it in my super mega Playlist of everything.

unrelated but I love the Simpsons hit and run music :)

Blue is only album I ever owned, still gives me goosebumps every time I listen that album after so many years.

Red is one of my favorite Weezer's album.

Make Believe was terrible. Raditude is my equal fave, with Pinkerton. It's fun and catchy, and the opening song hooks you in right from the start. The bonus songs are pretty sweet, too.

Raditude is so much fun. I’ll always love it.

How the FUCK is Hurley in the same league as _Raditude??_ Hurley fucking rocks!

Great videos! You should do a personal ranking, people will hate you no matter what you pick, or how you rank them, but you should do it! Very Weezer.

I genuinely like Raditude, but knew it'll be at the bottom. Great work on the video and all the other Weezer content! Can't wait for the next one.

Can’t wait to find out

i love raditude

I absolutely adore the Red album

here before the first 1k views also i can't believe raditude is NOT the best weezer album...the video must be broken

ALSO AS THE BIGGEST MALADROIT FAN I HAVE HEARD OF HURLEY!!!! THAT ALBUM MADE MY OCULAR NERVE GO POP ZOOM!! ALSO RADITUDE IS A GREAT ALBUM YALL ARE JUST BRAINWASHED

Know a guy on a music server I'm in who genuinely considers Raditude a great album. Though every time I've interrogated the idea theyve only ever been able to talk about the record in terms of like, reactionary pushback to its legendary breadth of criticism. So even the one genuine fan of the album I'm aware of only likes it for the sake of being a contrarian, even if they arent aware of it.

Bruh everything has lower rankings Than I would think. I think because I love everything and everything in the bottom half is at least a 70 except make believe and raditdue. Like goddamn how was Hurley so low it’s my number 7. I agree stuff is over produced recently but I will love it. Just the fan rankings I am annoyed with. Black is so so good, so Is PD but I understand why it’s low.

Pacific Daydream is amazing and QB blitz is in the top 20 weezer songs

I love Raditude!!!

Red is carried hard by the bonus tracks

Oh boy, ready for this one

Outside of Where’s My Sex?, I’d say Hurley is one of the better releases from Weezer as every song is actually really solid and fun. It was the second Weezer album I ever listened to in full with Red being my first, so it’s always a little disheartening when I see the two ranked so low in people’s lists as I have that special thing with them. My ranking for Weezer’s albums (not including SZNZ) goes: Pinkerton Blue Red EWBAITE White OK Human Maladroit Hurley Green Van Weezer Pacific Daydream Make Believe Raditude Black Teal

Raditude is not great, but If You're Wondering..... is one of my favorite Weezer songs.

Glad to see someone is willing to be objective.

Love the channel Weezer video series :D thanks for bringging this to the world.

I read years ago this comment regarding Raditude "this album is one of the worst albums and the reason is simple. Raditude is an album that forgets one of the principal rules of songwriting: specificity leads to universality"

I'm obsessed with your rankings Weezer's videos.

I got bored and documented the rankings by each category this is also in the other video but I thought I might as well put this here too critic rankings blue 95 pikerton 93 OK human 74 white 72.5 ewbaite 72 maladroit 71 green 70 Hurley 66 Van Weezer 65.5 red 62 pacific daydream 60.5 teal 56 black 53 raditude 53 make believe 50 listener rankings pinkerton 83.5 blue 80.9 white 78.1 ewbaite 74.8 OK human 73.9 maladroit 70.9 green 67.5 hurley 60.5 red 58.7 van weezer 58.7 make believe 47.2 teal 47.1 black 46.7 pacific daydream 45.5 raditude 40.6 fan rankings pinkerton 94 blue 93.9 white 87.6 OK human 81.6 ewbaite 80.6 maladroit 70.5 green 60.3 red 58.5 van weezer 57.5 Hurley 49.6 Pacific daydream 43 make believe 42.1 black 39.5 teal 33.8 raditude 29.7 do with this what you will

Phenomenal videos. Would love to see you tackle a band like Green Day in this format!

I definetly like to pick and choose from different Weezer Albums, I guess that's a good thing, from Buddy Holly to Happy Hour, to Dope Nose, Hash Pipe I could go on, I'm weird in the way of not picking an album from a group I enjoy and seeing what I like, I'm trying not to do that this time with SZNZ Summer lol

I think the Red album is my favourite Weezer record. I would never say it's they're best. I'm not even sure if it's top 5, but I think it is my favourite

Not a massive fan of Hurley or Pacific Daydream but Pacific Daydream is actually the album that got me into Weezer (I know weird). I heard some of their blue album stuff before but thought Pacific Daydream was good indie pop in the Summer of 2017. At the end of the day Pacific Daydream not a favorite (anymore) but I think it has some respectable moments. Sorta the same feeling with Hurley.

I think slowly over time the Weezer fandom will come to agree that Raditude is at least better than Black or Pacific... the back end of the album (minus the controversy of LITA) it really comes across as a well done memorial and send off to 2000's pop punk. Very enjoyable when filtered.

Wow, I just spent 12 and a half minutes just to learn that it's Weezer and it's Weezy. What a ripoff. jokes aside, it was cool to see the different reasonings behind each ranking, and compare them to my personal ranks despite my somewhat incomplete catalog. I am currently up to 2016 for albums (+ OK Human and SZNZ: Autumn [yes I know this is not an album], specifically _not_ deluxe albums because then I can go back and listen to all the good stuff I missed out on...or bad stuff idk) and the rankings of the pop stuff seems to be a warning... but maybe I'll like or even love them! you never know unless you try anyway, I have to go lie on the floor and listen to Can't Stop Partying (Nightcore) for the next 12 hours to -numb myself to all human emotion- prove the greatness of Raditude in all forms and break away from the hivemind

I can't find anything wrong with Raditude. I love it.

Raditude has a good album cover. Also... IT'S BAD BUT NOT WORSE THAN TEAL

I agree with basically the whole ranking but as a certified Weezer apologist I could even make an argument for Raditude being good if I think about it long enough

I love "Love is the Answer" it's imo one of the best songs on Raditude so I don't get why all the hate Definitely better than "I'm Your Daddy" and 10x better than "Can't Stop Partying"

Raditude has some good songs on it. I said it.

Raditude is one of Weezer's best album.

What's funny is I've recently used Weezer as an example of a band that has had the same sound and has been making music forever.

I like Red, Make Believe, and Teal. I've never really gotten the hate for them. Edit: I've now also gotten into Raditude recently.

I actually have Hurley in my Top 5. It's got great songs (Memories, Run Away, Trainwrecks), good songs (Hang On, Time Flies, Ruling Me), and a bad song (You know which one). It's no Pinkerton, Blue, or EWBAITE, but I love it

Ratitude is great and I’ve previously seen many people who say it’s their best album.

Ok human is weezers best album and if you disagree you’re wrong

For me, Pacific Daydream is a phenomenal album. I was going to write top 3, then top 5, then realized how many more records would still take precedence (Blue,Pink,White,Green for me imho) but surely PD is their best pop record, i don't find it overproduced and most of the songs are just amazing (Any friend of Diane so good, the hits Mexican Fender& Feels like summer, also Get right, Wknd woman). I guess what i mean is that it's better than Hurley, Red album, Van weezer.

i'm proud to be the world's biggest raditude fan, because i'm the world's only raditude fan. i'm your daddy in particular is unironically my favorite weezer song. and the deluxe edition has the underdogs, which honestly is so good it could've carried the album if was on the standard release. some might say that this is a result of me not thinking about the music consume, but i prefer to believe that it's simply because i can't stop partying partying oh god please help i can't stop partying partying but fr this both of these videos have not surprised me. but i do wonder where szns would've fit if it was considered an album, as well as death to false metal which i personally believe to be the most unlistenable collection of songs that has ever had the nerve to call itself an album

Man Raditude is over hated :( I like a few songs on it

Weezer forever! They are one of the most versatile bands of all times. Always growing and working. I love Weezer and Raditude is my favorite album.

I have to say that for me Raditude is a good album, definitely.

I'm deeply surprised Black is lower than Pacific Daydream. The best songs on PD can't come close to the mid songs on Black to me. High as a Kite is a beautiful song and trump's all of PD easily

Pacific Daydream is a gem. I think it's more underrated than Hurly and Maladroit by a long shot.

Raditude is a great album.

Other than a couple songs in the middle, I actually enjoy Raditude. It's got a fun quirk to it that isn't on some recent albums
