Raditude is the seventh studio album by American rock band Weezer, released on October 30, 2009, and is their final album on DGC Records, Geffen Records and Interscope Records.[5][6][7] The title of the album was suggested to Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo by actor Rainn Wilson.[8] The album's first single, "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To", was released in August 2009. The album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200. The album's cover artwork is a photo of a dog named Sidney, originally published in the August 2009 issue of National Geographic.[9][10]

The album was initially released in Australia on October 30, 2009. It was made available in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2009, and the following day in the United States. It opened at number seven on the Billboard 200, selling 66,000 copies in its first week of availability. As of September 2010, it has sold 240,000 copies.

Background and recording

[edit]

Knowledge of the record was first made public by Billboard.com, who reported that Weezer was to head into the studio in early November 2008 to record a seventh album. A YouTube post titled "Let's Write A Sawng: Step 16," uploaded on November 15, 2008, showed frontman Rivers Cuomo in the studio with producer Jacknife Lee short-listing[when defined as?] three songs from a list of 23, adding speculation to the recording of a seventh album or new B-sides.[11]

In May, the band's webmaster and archivist Karl Koch revealed that the album had no set release date, and that the band would be recording additional material. He revealed that Cuomo would be the sole lead vocalist on this album unlike their previous album, 2008's Weezer (also known as the Red Album). In early summer of 2009, session drummer Josh Freese joined Weezer as the percussionist, with regular drummer Patrick Wilson taking over guitar duties for Cuomo. Freese performed with the band at the KROQ Weenie Roast. In an interview for the event, the band revealed that the new album would be released in summer 2009.

On July 24, Weezer played three new songs in Korea at the Jisan Valley Rock Festival: "Can't Stop Partying", "I'm Your Daddy", and "The Girl Got Hot". "Can't Stop Partying" had previously been released in demo form on Cuomo's Alone II album in 2008. While performing "The Girl Got Hot" on July 26, 2009, at the Fuji Rock Festival, Cuomo revealed that Weezer's seventh studio album would be released in October 2009. August 4, 2009, saw the final recording sessions for the album, with mixing of the disc beginning two days later.

"Can't Stop Partying" was co-written with hip-hop producer Jermaine Dupri, and features rapper Lil Wayne. "Put Me Back Together" was co-written with The All-American Rejects members Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler.

Rhythm guitarist Brian Bell stated that he had reservations about the inclusion of outside collaborators and the album's overall mainstream pop aesthetic. In a 2010 interview, Bell revealed that he "[had] a conversation with Rivers about [Raditude]. And he said, to put my mind at ease, that this is just one album out of many more that we are going to make in our career. When I heard that, I was like, okay, cool, well that’s a great way to think of it. We’re just trying something and this is just one record out of many more. When I heard that, I was fine with it."[12]

Promotion

[edit]

On August 14, 2009, MTV confirmed that the first single, "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To", was to be released on American rock radio on August 25.[13] The track leaked less than a week after the announcement,[14] and the official release of the single to radio was moved up to Tuesday, August 18.[6] A music video for the single was filmed with director Marc Webb and co-starring Odette Yustman.

Via updates on their official website, the band revealed in August 2009 that the album would be called Raditude and released on October 27. This date was pushed back a week to November 3. On October 13, the band announced "The Weezer Raditude Club," which allowed customers to pre-order Raditude and gain access to exclusive tracks each week leading up to the album's release.

Weezer recorded a promotional performance for Sessions@AOL. Guests included Kenny G, Chamillionaire and Sara Bareilles. Kenny G's contribution was a solo after the second chorus of "I'm Your Daddy". Prior to the performance he said that he knew nothing of Weezer. Although Cuomo and Kenny G live near each other in Malibu they had never met before the recording, which was done in one take. Kenny G commented in the green room on the lack of rehearsal, "...that's OK. I'm a professional."[15]

Raditude was sold in conjunction with a Weezer version of the Snuggie, a popular wearable blanket.[16]

The album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200, selling 66,000 copies in its first week,[17] only about half as many copies as the band's previous album, Weezer, sold in its first week in 2008.[17]

While Weezer did not necessarily promote the album live (this can likely be attributed to the cancellation of the majority of the album's promotional tour),[citation needed] handfuls of songs from this album were still performed throughout 2009 and some of 2010, and the lead single has become one of their more frequently played live songs in recent years.

Raditude received mixed reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 57 ("mixed or average reviews"), based on 22 reviews.[19]

A positive review came from Matt Collar of AllMusic, who wrote that "Musically, Raditude really sounds like vintage Weezer, but never in a pandering, played-out way", praising "I'm Your Daddy" and "The Girl Got Hot" for being "as sparkling with creative enthusiasm as anything the band has done since 'Buddy Holly'."[20] "Songs about going to meet your girlfriend's parents or how the ugly duckling in junior high school suddenly turned into a double-take ice queen, are an odd thing for men pushing 40 to sing about. But perhaps because Weezer are as sexually threatening as melted Solero, such an approach sounds uniquely stylized rather than criminally creepy," Kerrang! reviewer Ian Winwood remarked.[29] Noting the backlash the album had received, Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone wrote that "when it comes to taunting and baiting the crowd, [frontman Rivers] Cuomo makes every other rock star out there look like a dilettante", while praising the album itself as being "full of gloriously cheesy Weezer tunes".[27]

Scott Heisel of Alternative Press gave Raditude a mixed review, calling it "the antithesis of everything you loved about the first two albums" and writing that the album "takes a severe and almost irreversible nosedive" following the third track "The Girl Got Hot".[30] Rob Mitchum of Pitchfork criticized Cuomo's lyrics for seemingly being "stuck in an eternal puberty, forever 13—confused, horny, hyperbolic, obsessed with brand names", and concluded that "the record's teen-boy empowerment message doesn't have much to offer anyone over 13 years old".[1] Spencer Kornhaber of Spin wrote that the album "might be enjoyed for what it is—extremely catchy, fist-pumping pop—and for what it represents: escapism", but felt that "the second half sags, the ballads bore, and weirdly, it's too short".[28] Huw Jones of Slant Magazine panned the album as "a thematically vacant and sonically uninspired collection of ditties tailor-made for mainstream radio" that contains "an abhorrent cocktail of deluded lyricism and indolent musicianship."[31] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters felt that Raditude should be judged for being "a collection of straight-faced, irony-free pop songs written by a guy who knows his way around a hook", concluding, "As a Weezer album, it is nothing short of a profound disappointment. By any other standard, it's just the worst album of the year."[32]

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Raditude is the seventh studio by band , released on November 3, 2009, by . The album marks Weezer's final release on the DGC and Geffen labels before moving to other imprints. The title Raditude—a portmanteau of "radical" and "attitude"—was suggested to frontman by of . Recording took place primarily in 2009 across various studios, with Cuomo collaborating with multiple producers including , , , , and to infuse the record with a glossy pop-rock sound aimed at a younger audience. Notable guest appearances include saxophonist on "I'm Your Daddy," rapper on "The Girl Got Hot," and on "Can't Stop Partying." The standard edition features ten tracks, such as the "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To," a power-pop that peaked at number 81 on the Hot 100. Raditude debuted at number seven on the US , selling 66,000 copies in its first week, though it sold fewer units than Weezer's prior albums. Critically, the album received mixed reviews, earning a score of 57 out of 100 based on 25 critics, with praise for its catchy hooks but criticism for its perceived immaturity and overproduction. Publications like awarded it a low 4.5 out of 10, calling it emblematic of Weezer's shift toward juvenile themes, while gave it a more favorable 7.5 out of 10 for recapturing the band's fun energy.

Background

Conception

Following the success of Weezer's self-titled 2008 album (commonly known as the Red Album) and its subsequent Hootenanny tour, the band sought to pivot toward a lighter, more radio-friendly sound that emphasized pop accessibility and high-energy hooks. Frontman Rivers Cuomo, drawing from his growing fascination with contemporary pop and hip-hop elements, aimed to infuse the project with "strange and exotic creative situations" to refresh the band's direction after years of rock-oriented experimentation. This shift was motivated by Cuomo's desire to explore collaborations that could blend Weezer's core guitar-driven style with modern production techniques, moving away from the rawer, alternative rock focus of prior releases like the Red Album. Cuomo's songwriting for the album took place primarily in and early 2009, marking a departure from his traditionally solitary process as he opened up to co-writing with external contributors for the first time on a project. He composed initial demos at home, including early versions of tracks like "Can't Stop Partying," which was co-written with producer Jermaine Dupri, who provided hip-hop-inspired lyrics; an acoustic demo of the song featured on Cuomo's 2008 solo demo collection Alone II and reflected his experimentation with upbeat, party-themed narratives. events, particularly Cuomo's 2006 marriage to Kyoko Ito, influenced several songs, infusing them with themes of domestic bliss and longing; for instance, the "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" directly drew from his marital experiences, capturing a sense of reaffirmed commitment. This period of relative stability allowed Cuomo to balance introspective lyrics with playful, youthful energy, while his systematic approach—often involving spreadsheets to catalog ideas—helped generate over a dozen potential tracks before final selection. To achieve a polished, contemporary pop sheen that contrasted the band's earlier rock-heavy albums, decided to partner with producer , known for his work with and on sleek, arena-ready productions. Lee was brought on board in late 2008 to handle much of the pre-production, focusing on enhancing Cuomo's demos with electronic flourishes and hip-hop-inspired beats, while additional collaborators like and contributed to specific tracks. Early track selections prioritized infectious anthems such as "The Girl Got Hot" and "I'm Your Daddy," selected for their potential to appeal to a younger audience through witty, hook-laden structures. The album's working title emerged from the slang term "raditude," coined by Cuomo's friend and actor to describe a "radical attitude" of unbridled positivity and enthusiasm, which Cuomo adopted as it encapsulated the project's vibrant, optimistic vibe.

Recording

The recording sessions for Weezer's seventh studio album, Raditude, took place over several months in 2008 and 2009 at various studios in the area, including RubyRed Studios and The Thom Thom Club in , and The Document Room in , with mixing handled at The Village in and Ameraycan Recording Studios in North Hollywood. Principal production began in the fall of 2008 following the band's Hootenanny Tour, with final tracking wrapping up in early August 2009. Producer , who had previously worked with the band on tracks from their 2008 self-titled album, oversaw sessions for multiple songs and infused the material with contemporary electronic and pop sensibilities, employing techniques such as on Rivers Cuomo's vocals to achieve a polished, radio-ready sound. An early version of "Can't Stop Partying" produced during these sessions with Lee leaked online in 2017. contributed production on select tracks, including the "(If You're Wondering If I Want You to) I Want You to," bringing a rock-oriented edge to those recordings. Throughout the process, the band's lineup remained consistent, with handling lead vocals and guitar, on guitar and backing vocals, on bass, and on drums and additional guitar. Sessions also incorporated planned guest features to explore hip-hop influences, such as Jermaine Dupri's co-writing and Lil Wayne's rap verse on "Can't Stop Partying," recorded remotely and integrated during production.

Composition

Musical style

Raditude marks a notable shift in Weezer's sound, incorporating and elements while blending the band's established roots with 2000s influences, as seen in the work of artists like through shared producer . This evolution is evident in the album's use of synthesizers and electronic beats, creating a more polished production that contrasts with the relatively rawer, guitar-driven aesthetic of earlier works such as . Key instrumentation features prominent synth layers and programmed rhythms, contributing to an overall upbeat, hook-oriented framework. Tracks like "I'm Your Daddy" exemplify and textures with anthemic arrangements, while "Can't Stop Partying" integrates structures alongside hip-hop influences from collaborator , featuring an upbeat pop-rock composition with electronic production, rap verses, and a structure that blends rock choruses with hip-hop elements at around 122 BPM. Similarly, "The Girl Got Hot" employs a schaffel swing beat reminiscent of , enhanced by "woah-oh" backing vocals for a Top 40-ready drive. The album's songs generally adhere to mid-tempo verse-chorus forms, with an average tempo of around 122 BPM ranging from 106 to 136 BPM, emphasizing catchy refrains and energetic propulsion typical of contemporary . Production techniques under and others, including and , prioritize layered electronics and clean mixes to heighten accessibility.

Lyrics and themes

The lyrics of Raditude predominantly explore themes of romance, infatuation, and youthful energy, capturing the exuberance and uncertainties of young love in a manner that evokes adolescent experiences. The album's lyrics shift toward lighter, more celebratory narratives compared to the introspective anguish of earlier works like Pinkerton. For instance, the lead single "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" serves as a direct declaration of affection, inspired by Cuomo's real-life hesitation in pursuing the woman who would become his wife, emphasizing vulnerability in romantic pursuit amid fears of rejection. Humorous and self-deprecating tones permeate several tracks, reflecting Cuomo's playful in navigating relationships and social awkwardness. In "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To," the humorously address the "awkward moment" of unspoken attraction, blending earnest with lighthearted exaggeration to highlight personal insecurities. Similarly, "The Girl Got Hot" employs witty, observational humor to depict reignited at a high reunion, where the narrator awkwardly approaches a former peer who has transformed physically, underscoring themes of belated desire and social fumbling with a edge. Pop culture influences and hip-hop slang add a contemporary, energetic layer to the , broadening their to a younger audience through relatable references and collaborations. Tracks like "Can't Stop Partying" incorporate hip-hop vernacular and club culture motifs, with the chorus proclaiming "I can't stop partying, partying / I gotta have Patrón, I gotta have the beat," co-written with and featuring , to evoke a high-energy party atmosphere while subtly nodding to sobriety struggles beneath the surface, reflecting Cuomo's personal battle with addiction. Cuomo intentionally blended rock structures with hip-hop elements to modernize Weezer's sound, drawing from celebrity-driven trends to infuse the themes with vibrant, pop-savvy flair. This optimistic, party-oriented lyricism marks an evolution from the darker, more tormented themes of prior albums. Where Pinkerton delved into raw emotional exposure and heartbreak, Raditude embraces infatuation and levity.
