Raditude is Weezer's seventh album, released in 2009. It was the band's final studio album on Geffen Records, and teased on lead vocalist and frontman Rivers Cuomo's YouTube channel in November of 2008.The album marked a major departure from their previous sound, more so than Weezer (The Green Album). Responsibilities among the band members were shuffled a bit, with session musician Josh Freese playing drums, Pat playing guitar, and Cuomo relegating himself to the role of frontman, a move that was later referenced in the song "Back to the Shack".The album marked a period when the band dipped their toe into mainstream pop, best exemplified in the synth-heavy, guitar-less "Can't Stop Partying". It was also the first Weezer album where Cuomo brought in outside co-writers, a trend that would continue until OK Human (though Rivers would still bring in collaborators to work on lead singles).The album spawned four singles: "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To", "I'm Your Daddy", "Tripping Down the Freeway", and "The Prettiest Girl in the Whole Wide World". The latter two were only released on iTunes. Like its predecessor, the album received a deluxe edition with four additional songs.

New Sound Album
 Raditude (Music) / int_22093e9b
comment
New Sound Album: A radical departure from their previous efforts, moreso than the Green Album and Make Believe. Though their signature power pop sound is still present, this places a heavier emphasis on the pop. Until the release of Pacific Daydream, it was their poppiest album.

Bros Before Hoes: The video for "I Want You To" features Rivers rejecting a hot girl because the rest of the band's attempts to impress her got them injured.

comment
Out-of-Genre Experience: "Love is the Answer", an out of nowhere Bollywood-type Hindu song, with hindu verses in-between. It's so out of place with the rest of the album because it was originally intended for Make Believe (which, while not having any Hindu songs, has Hindi influences).

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: "I Want You To" was reportedly based on a date that Rivers had with his wife Kyoko Ito before they married.
