Raditude is Weezer's best album. Now before you groan, this isn't some contrarian opinion, this is objective fact. With this album the band shows their true colors: shallow, tasteless, banal, trend-hopping talentless hacks. Instead of Rivers hiding behind adolescent, pseudo-intellectual "deep" lyricism, he immerses himself in the kind of hallow, bland pop writing he represents at heart. Instead of dipping their toes in different styles like in the past, they go full-on, even bringing on Lil' Wayne to complete the scene. Raditude is Weezer at their most primal - stupid, angsty, and immature, and it's better to embrace that fact than to continue hiding behind a false sense of depth. Raditude is a more honest record than anything else Weezer has attempted, because it strips away every pretense and put-on they have cheated two generations of GenXers and Millennials with for over 20 years. Every Weezer album is ultimately an exercise in formulaic mediocrity (especially intelligence-insulting Pinkerton), but Raditude gives it to us straight: bad, but no bullshit. Every kissless virgin Weezer "fan" is oblivious to how truly awful they are, even during their so-called "classic period". They've proved nothing beyond their less-than-basic understanding of what makes a hit, and even then I balk at whoever was moronic enough to support the band by making their songs hits to begin with. Fuck Weezer, and fuck every loser who likes them.
