 Silverstein is one of the rare examples... capable of somehow standing the test of time.

 This certainly does not seem like the best album to be remembered before drowning: it lacks focus, a direction.

Silverstein’s tenth album, 'A Beautiful Place To Drown,' marks two decades of their career and embraces collaborations with notable artists. While blending post-hardcore roots with pop-punk and EDM elements, it struggles with consistency and clear direction. The album shows ambition but reflects common issues in modern alternative rock, trying to appeal to broad audiences yet not fully reestablishing the band’s legacy. Some tracks stand out, but the overall work leaves mixed feelings. Discover Silverstein’s evolving sound on ‘A Beautiful Place To Drown’ and judge the mix of post-hardcore and pop-punk yourself!

 It’s all black or all white. You’re either right or left, liberal or conservative, intellectual or speak as you eat.

 If there’s one thing the Spanish Love Songs teach us, even without the pretension of dropping who knows what truth from above, it’s that being wrong is fundamentally the norm.

Spanish Love Songs' third album, Brave Faces Everyone, delivers a powerful blend of Midwest emo and indie influences. The band confronts the divisive nature of society while focusing on personal battles such as abandonment, addiction, and disillusionment. Dylan Slocum's expressive voice and raw lyrics create an honest portrayal of human discomfort. The album refuses easy answers, emphasizing that being wrong is normal. It carries a tone of hopeful realism amid the harshness. Listen to Brave Faces Everyone for an unfiltered emotional journey through raw indie and Midwest emo soundscapes.

 Blink-182 are making the third, monumental transformation in their history.

 It is wrong to think that with Tom DeLonge blink wouldn’t have ended up equally in the shredder of this music business.

Blink-182’s Nine showcases a bold blend of experimental sounds and pop-punk roots, reflecting the band’s evolution over two decades. While embracing modern production and electronic elements, the album polishes its familiar energy with Matt Skiba’s presence marking a clear stylistic shift. Despite mixed moments, Mark Hoppus’s honest lyrics and Travis Barker’s impactful drumming reinforce the band’s enduring spirit. Nine signifies a pivotal transformation for blink-182, balancing nostalgia with contemporary influences, though not fully satisfying longtime punk purists. Listen to Blink-182’s Nine and explore their daring fusion of pop-punk and experimental sounds!

 The essence of Strung Out is absent, lost in the mirage of what it was, struggling to reach what it wants to be.

 A 13-track torment when half would have sufficed.

This review examines Strung Out’s 2019 album 'Songs Of Armor And Devotion', acknowledging technical skill and catchy moments but criticizing overall inconsistency and a loss of the band's core essence. The departure of longtime drummer Jordan Burns and introduction of Robert Shankle are noted but unexplained.

 The album strikes from the first listen as an unassailable monolith from any side for quality and production level.

 Map Of The Soul: Persona falls completely short of its premises, returning the impression of facing a boyband stuck between expressive ambition and market demands.

 Bad Religion have always represented in the punk/hardcore field the reason that follows instinct, the mind that arms the hand, the wisdom that channels anger, impetuosity, and passion into something more than just music.
