''Maladroit'' was released on [[May 14]], [[2002]], and was self-produced like ''[[Pinkerton]]'' (Rivers would say 'unproduced').  The gap between ''[[The Green Album]]'' and ''Maladroit'' remains the shortest gap between any two Weezer albums at a day short of one year.  The man on the cover is [[Rupert Peasley]].

The cover was ranked as one of [http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/6194-the-worst-record-covers-of-all-time/7/ "The Worst Record Covers of All Time"] by Pitchfork Media in 2005.


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 venture beyond ten tracks.  The first 600,000 copies were numbered in a limited edition, with gold foildigits at the bottom corner.
