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 time a Weezer album has ventured further than the standard tracklist of 10 songs, stretching to 13 songs but still retaining the normal album length of a normal Weezer album. This was only repeated twice afterwards, with the twelve track ''[[Make Believe]]'' and thirteen track ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'', Weezer’s ninth studio album. The first 600,000 copies of ''Maladroit'' were numbered in a limited edition, with gold foil digits at the bottom corner. | As with all Weezer albums, it was an album of firsts.

''Maladroit'' received strong reviews at the time of release, but remains one of the band's lowest selling albums. The album's only singles, "[[Dope Nose]]" and "[[Keep Fishin']]" received respectable radio play and MTV circulation, propelled by popular music videos, but failed to really get the album off the ground. The album tends to be divisive among fans, frequently being criticized for it's songwriting and the elsewhere mentioned "unproduced"-ness. Other hardcore fans seem to strongly enjoy it, and it remains well-liked by casual fans. | ''Maladroit'' received strong reviews at the time of release, but remains one of the band's lowest selling albums.
