Album
Raditude
Raditude is Weezer's seventh studio album, and it arrived in a staggered release: 30 October 2009 in Australia, 2 November in the UK and 3 November in the US. It was their last record for DGC and Interscope. Following the self-titled 2008 album (the "Red Album") and coming before Hurley in 2010, it sits in a busy stretch of the band's career. The first single was "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To", which came out in August 2009.
The title came from actor Rainn Wilson, who suggested it to Rivers Cuomo. The sleeve shows a dog called Sidney, in a photograph first published in National Geographic. The album entered the Billboard 200 at number seven, with 66,000 copies sold in its first week. It's a bright, pop-minded set that suits anyone who likes Weezer at their most playful.
