CRITIC REVIEWS
80
On Rush! Måneskin continuously prove that outcasts deserve a good time, and they are here to give it to us.
80
With 17 mostly terrific songs (three sung in Italian), only one breaking the four-minute mark, the collection has the jittery intensity of a lion pacing before feeding time.
80
Best of all, the unhinged rap-rock of La fine and Il dono della vita’s jazzy swell – both sung in emotive Italian – prove their credentials as ambassadors of the universal language of rock’n’roll. Bravissimo!
80
Rush! is dazzling proof that Måneskin are capable of writing rings around most modern riff monkeys.
80
These are mostly songs that are designed for the biggest stages, and surely destined to stay there.
80
They draw on the gloriously stupid, disruptive spirit of rock'n'roll as we used to know it.
80
Måneskin don’t waste any time trying to claim the throne on ‘Rush!’ – they already know it’s theirs.
80
With Rush!, Måneskin make good on their Eurovision rock promise, delivering an album that's campy, inspired, and thrilling all at the same time.
80
Måneskin won their title largely through sheer excitement – big, loud rock ‘n’ roll thrills bursting with panache and style and charisma and sex. On third album RUSH! this modus operandi remains so: every OTT moment here is designed to dazzle.
70
The self-assumed swagger that enlivens the 17-track Rush! emanates from the focus attack of the band members, whose playing thrums with attitude.
70
Exhaustive and exhausting, ‘Rush!’ feels like the definitive word in this unlikely rock phenomenon – at its best, it’s a feral reminder of how entertaining the genre can be.
70
The album feels and sounds like an unstoppable force, which is undoubtedly where Måneskin is at – and, if we’re to continue on this upward trajectory with them, what a ride it will be.
60
Third album from Italian rockers has energy and charisma wedged into English-language songs.
60
The Eurovision winners’ third LP boasts gleaming production values and nuanced songs, but tries to tick too many boxes.
60
While it’s true that Rush! starts to feel amorphous, you’d be hard-pressed to find a single moment in its 50-minute runtime where you’re not enjoying yourself just a little.
60
The Italian quartet prove themselves sharp operators with an infectiously enthusiastic record inspired by a grab-bag of influences.
60
The Italian band cap off a whirlwind period by sticking to their guns in the face of industry bluster and interference.
60
Rush! sees Måneskin pulling out all the stops and drawing on a range of genres, from glam-rock and punk to the power ballad, for an eclectic end product, but one that lacks the cohesion of their previous record.
30
A miserable buffet of rock ‘n’ roll cliches, from saccharine ballads to off-color glam to bland MTV rock. It’s essentially homeopathic rock muzak.
20
At the very least, Måneskin should probably start flossing.
It might just be the fact that I don't speak or understand Italian so it comes off as more palatable when the music is the only thing I can judge on first listen, but Måneskin works really well when they stick to an energetic punk sound and EXCLUSIVELY speak in Italian.
However, they leave this Italian-only formula and make a complete English-only turnaround on RUSH! on 14/17 tracks, leaving you with a messy album chock full of questionable cringy lyrics, unfortunate mixing, and ... read more
Horny filler after horny filler after horny filler. Crazy how the only songs I liked on this album were all spoken in Italian. And while most of this album is just painfully mediocre, the bad songs are HORRENDOUSLY bad, like "BLA BLA BLA", "KOOL KIDS", and "READ YOUR DIARY". Not many songs make me physically cringe, but Maneskin managed to release three of them on this album, so I guess they have that going for them.
Ok so it has taken me a few days to actually figure out what I think about this new LP from Italian rock outfit Måneskin.
There is no doubt the band could've done better by leaving some tracks out and maybe rewriting a few.
When I first heard Måneskin win Eurovision in 2021 I was pumped and full of hope that rock would come a little closer to being mainstream, which some might dislike but as a rock fan I enjoy there being more of us. They for sure gained a lot of fans and so ... read more

This is seriously lacking in any sort of originality, personality, literally anything, I seriously don't know what some of y'all are seeing in this
