The new American Football is ugly. It doesn’t make sense to exist.

 American Football hasn’t matured with their audience: their audience fell in love, saw other things grow like Owen which anyway damn are not American Football, and now they face this thing.

The review expresses strong disappointment in American Football's LP2, criticizing it for lacking the emotional depth and subtlety of the original 1999 album. The album's heavy reliance on predictable arpeggios and vocals reminiscent of Mike Kinsella's Owen project do not resonate well. The reviewer emphasizes that neither the band nor its fans have matured together, resulting in an alienating experience that fails to justify the album's existence. Read this honest review to see why American Football LP2 divides fans and decide if it's worth your listen.

 The Wozard Of Iz is everything we can ask from trip-hop.

 This album, like Stranger Things, is set in 1983. And here too, as in Stranger Things, there are Synths aplenty.

 Derivative elements in music as in cinema can work quite well if they are limited to form.

Timecop1983's Lovers EP Part I channels 1983 nostalgia through dreamy synthwave arrangements with balanced melancholy and epic vibes. The album excels as an instrumental synth-pop exercise but falters slightly when attempting pop vocals. Similar to Stranger Things, its retro style charms more than its deeper content. Dive into the nostalgic synthwave world of Timecop1983 and experience the 1983-inspired dreamy vibes today!

 It’s not a midlife return to adolescent anger: perhaps, I think, it’s more of an awareness of the role of material needs in the emotional sphere; a hateful and urgent misanthropic declaration.

 Jacopo Lietti choking and shouting and pushing himself like never before.

Giønson's self-titled album delivers honest, raw hardcore punk without nostalgic conformism. The intense vocal work and bleak, misanthropic lyrics set it apart.

 If J Mascis’s solos were a human being, they would be Mr. Clean, but black with afro hair, moving like Ibrahimovic when he celebrates with his arms wide and with Batman’s voice from the Nolan films.

 Dinosaur Jr. are among the few who can afford to be pretentious, possibly mannered.

The review praises Dinosaur Jr.'s signature powerful sound and exceptional guitar solos, especially on tracks like 'I Walk For Miles.' However, it highlights notable production and mixing flaws that affect the album's overall impact. Some songs feel underdeveloped or lose their punch, and there are critical remarks about vocal mixing and ballads. Still, the band’s distinctive energy and musicianship remain evident throughout. Discover Dinosaur Jr.'s latest album and judge their powerful riffs and solos yourself!

 Since I started listening to music as a kid, I’ve fantasized about powerful and heavy music like this barging into melodic contexts.

 Chicken 'n' Dump is the classic Melvins-style slow jam. For a gentle headbanging.
