Raditude: Deluxe Edition leaked...

Here are my track-by-track initial reactions:



Here are my track-by-track initial reactions:

RADITUDE
(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To - Same as it ever was, old news. Good, but not great. 4/5
I'm Your Daddy - I still love this chorus and bridge. But wish it had stayed "Here's Your Daddy" and was about caring for his daughter. 4.5/5
The Girl Got Hot - Meh for most, but I really enjoyed the harmonies. 3/5
Can't Stop Partying - Not into some of the effects, and think there should be more bass. I like the Alone II version better, but I dig Lil Wayne's part. 3/5
Put Me Back Together - Lyrics aside, I love this wholeheartedly. Awesomesauce. 4.5/5
Tripping Down the Freeway - Eh, not my cup of tea. Not bad. 3/5
Love is the Answer - Way better than expected. Felt it worked out quite well. 4/5
Let It All Hang Out - Really love the melody, so many squeedlies. 3.5/5
In the Mall - Biggest letdown. I really liked everything else I've heard by Pat. This just didn't work for me. 2.5/5
I Don't Want to Let You Go - Thoroughly enjoyed this. Natural closer. 4.5/5
DELUXE TRACKS
Turn Me Round - Thought the verses were alright, didn't care for the chorus. Sounds like Maladroit, and I think it's from that era. So it makes sense. 3/5
Get Me Some - The screaming solo, enough said. Just, odd. 2/5
Run Over by a Truck - Very interesting. I really like the main piano riff. Furthest from anything Weezer's ever done. 4.5/5
PGITWWW - Silly intro. Really like the organ, and love the chorus after the second verse. Terrific. Always loved the Homie version, and now this might be the best Post-Pink song. 5/5
The Underdogs - So many movie montages will work with this. Better than clips led me to believe it would be. 3.5/5

Raditude - 3.65/5
Raditude: - DE - 3.63/5
I did not see that coming. Could this be the third best? We've been waiting...

Of course, all leaks and downloads aside, I believe you should always support the bands you enjoy. And I recommend buying on vinyl (even though in this case, you won't get the deluxe tracks...PLEASE CHANGE THIS PATTERN, WEEZER).

So buy some records!
