 Rush! is an LP that, while containing some successful tracks, doesn’t do justice to the Måneskin phenomenon and reveals it for what it is: a product artfully constructed by record labels and thrust into the fray too soon.

 Damiano, Victoria, Ethan, and Thomas know how to play, sing well, speak excellent English, and have fun when performing live, but unfortunately, they are still a band far from maturity and unable to leave a mark.

Måneskin's third album Rush! marks their full international debut with a mainstream rock sound. While some tracks like "Gossip" and "The Loneliest" stand out, the album suffers from immature lyrics, overlong tracklist, and moments lacking creativity. The band's image and stage charisma remain strong, but the musical offering feels inconsistent and overly crafted by producers. A promising effort that falls short of truly capturing the band's potential and maturity. Discover Måneskin's Rush! and explore their bold attempt to revive rock for a new generation.

 Måneskin are a mainstream group, they have always wanted to be mainstream. The key to understanding Måneskin is their performative talent, their freshness, and the fact that they currently represent the contemporary.

 They may not be liked; their music may not be liked but just the fact of having brought so much Italy to every corner of this ailing planet can only bring us pride.

The review highlights Måneskin's RUSH! as a significant step that reinforces the band's mainstream success with a youthful and performative style. While the album recycles some familiar rock riffs, it draws attention with mature ideas and ironic themes. Italian language tracks add depth and introspection, balancing the playful, glam-inspired energy. Some tracks fall short, but overall the album is seen as a promising, well-produced work that honors the band’s origins and growing international presence. Dive into Måneskin’s RUSH! and experience the fresh energy and irony shaping modern rock today.
