It needs a "lede." Lede is fancy wiki/journalism talk for the first sentence of your article. We format it to draw the reader's attention there, bolding important terms:

''Maladroit'' was the first Weezer album to feature current bassist [[Scott Shriner]], after the breakdown and departure of [[Mikey Welsh]]. It was also the first to contain a booklet with lyrics (which included a special message thanking Weezer boardies), and the first time a Weezer album ventured further than the standard tracklist of 10 songs.

'''''Maladroit''''' is the fourth studio album by [[Weezer]], released on [[May 14]], [[2002]]. The album is known for its "heavy metal" sound, and for the Weezer fanbase's involvement with the recording process.
Immediately following the release of ''[[The Green Album]]'', Weezer fired their management, Atlas/Third Rail Management, and longtime manager [[Pat Magnarella]], leading to a protracted legal battle. According to [[Karl Koch]], the firing was a "statement of intent" and [[Rivers Cuomo]] felt that the band didn't need management, and could simply fund their next album with their own money and pay themselves back when the album sold.
The band recorded demos for the album in [[2001]], between legs of the [[Midget Tour]] in 2001. This included sessions at [[Steakhouse Demos|Steakhouse Studios]] in late October and [[Cello Demos|Cello Studios]] in early November. During this period, the band also revived the moniker "[[Goat Punishment]]" to perform a series of shows, including one recorded and [[Weezer concert: 10/24/2001 - Los Angeles, CA|broadcast for the HBO program ''Reverb'']].
