No other answer is even respectable, unless you got into them around the time before the Green Album was released, in which case you have been led to believe that Pinkerton is some kind of holy grail for sensitive nerds, and you are allowed to transpose the first two.

The people who post here will never convince me that Green Album hate has nothing to do with all the hype that surrounded their "comeback." It took away so much cred for folks who were "into Pinkerton since it came out" that it was impossible they would ever be allowed to like The Green Album.

And Maladroit just ain't that good.

Damn fine words, LooGAR... Damn fine words indeed...
and, to be fair, I have bought every one of their albums on the first day of release, having been an L.A. kid with his ear to the ground on such things...

I don't have Maldroit, but I can't fuck with the other three...they've all got their own thang going on...overall, I'm a Pinkerton guy, but those three are all just different enough that my preference is gonna vary from day to day

Blue >>>> everything else

Never warmed up to Pinkerton. Green album is decent, and Maladroit's saving grace is the Keep Fishin' video.

Objectively I say Blue, Pinkerton, Maladroit, Green but for my personal favorites, I'd probably switch Pinkerton and Maladroit.

The Green Album had a couple of good songs but clocked in at like 31 minutes or something lame. It felt like listening to an EP. At the time, I liked it because it was good to hear Weezer again but I've found it's not one I pull out and listen to anymore. I think Maladroit is really good. Slave and Death and Destruction are great songs. I'm looking forward to the new one but not getting my hopes up.

Blue & Pinkerton

the recent albums seemed so "banged-out-by-friday" that I never gave them much attention.

I hated the over-saturated guitars and production on Green, too. Blue had a really nice, crisp, bright production that suited them well. Pinkerton was a little more raw sounding, but it worked perfectly with the loose, personal material.
