From the very first track on Weezer’s latest album, “Raditude,” fans and newcomers will find it hard to deny its energetic beats and theme of celebration.

Though the 10-song album is not comprised of solely original or consistently inspiring tracks, it is a typically upbeat collection. It improves with each listening and surpasses the efforts of the band’s work over its 17-year history.

The first track, “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To,” belies the sweetness the band so often displays in songs like “Buddy Holly.” With endearing lyrics like “Your mom cooked meat loaf even though I don’t eat meat / I dug you so much, I took some for the team,” it’s no wonder the song was chosen to be the first single from “Raditude.” This ode to summer love sets a lighthearted, charming tone for the whole album.

A few of the songs, though, do not gel. The lyrics in the track “In the Mall” are as uninspiring as the actions they are singing about, “Take the elevator to the escalator / Ride it down and start again.” The sixth track, “Tripping Down the Freeway,” is a lackluster effort compared to the better tracks on the album. Whereas most Weezer songs have a distinctive hook, the song doesn’t have a catchy chorus or verse that listeners will remember.

On the other hand, there are several atypical Weezer songs that provide a welcome respite from the generally guitar-heavy pop of “Raditude,” and these prove to be the most successful efforts by Weezer.

The fourth track, “Can’t Stop Partying” is a new development for the band, an electronic-club song featuring a vocal appearance by Lil Wayne that calls attention to the very frivolity it describes. “I gotta have Patrone, I gotta have the beat / I gotta have a lot of pretty girls around me,” front man Rivers Cuomo sings in an insistent way — too full of melancholy to sound like a celebration.

The seventh track, “Love is the Answer,” jolts the listener with Hindi instrumentalization and singing, conveying a message of peace and love. The album’s final track, “I Don’t Want to Let You Go” ends “Raditude” on a sublime note. Emphasizing vocals as opposed to strong instrumentals, it’s the song with the most potential to connect deeply with listeners.

“Raditude” may not be the most original album of the year, or even of Weezer’s career, but overall the album is a fun celebration and a joyous alternative pop collection.
