Since Rev and Doc asked for it, here's the Weezer Discography ranked:
Blue
Pinkerton
Everything Will Be Alright in the End
White Album
Red Album (including bonus tracks, it would be much lower without them)
OK Human
Pacific Daydream
Raditude
Make Believe
Hurley
SZNZ: Spring
Green
Van Weezer
Maladroit
Black Album

Your ranking of Maladroit is maladroit.

People seem to think that album is good. Same for Green. Both are pretty bad.

I always remember Nebraska as being the one Bruce album everyone was supposed to like but it totally bored me anytime I tried it. Willing to give it another go now my palate is at least a tad more refined.

Green is then doing their fratbro pop rock shtick at it's freshest, a d thus most tolerable. Everything after that gets incrementally worse and worse.

Pretty good one if so, i gotta say. Everyone I knew, none of them big Bruce fans, seemed to have that album, i just never got its appeal.

A friend of mine was a big Bruce fan and would play stuff that "you'll like for sure." I'd ask him, "What's wrong with his voice?" and he'd get angry.

I think its a bit for insecure contrarians that are afraid to like popular things. It’s the stark, lo fi counterpart to the big, obnoxious Born in the USA, so it’s inherently cooler.

It’s just so bland, unimaginative, and uninspired. The songwriting tricks he employs on later albums are the periodic highlights for me. Also, he really loosened up his vocal delivery closer to his Pinkerton rawness on more recent albums to the point that his Green voice is just so bored and neutered, it really gets to me.

There are some decent melodies here and there but nothing else on the album matches the pep of Hash Pipe except maybe the outro of Simple Pages. And the trick he employs at the end of Simple Pages and only that is something he does not hesitate to do on other later albums.

Yeah that makes a bit of sense alright, definitely got a bit of that vibe off it. Ry Cooder Paris Texas was another in that vein.

It's not good but it's definitely better than Green.

I think the tribute album is the more interesting listen. Johnny Cash did some decent covers too.

I think the real marketing ploy was turning a bitter and sarcastic song about a Vietnam vet into a jingoistic anthem.

I read that as Jungleistic.
