60s nostalgia but with modern production and instrumentals. Makes me wanna re-listen to "Pet Sounds."

Cute

"Riot!" features some of Paramore's most anthemic and impressive performances of their career, but not all tracks recieve the same treatment. There are plenty of moments that feel either a bit too generic or confused as to what they want to be.

It's fun and well-produced, but the second half of this record features some of the most uninspired and forgettable songs MCR has ever put out.

The instrumentation and tension on this record can be very rewarding at points, but much of the lyrics on this record are so uninspired.

Eerily good production, but there are a few tracks I don't find all that inspiring.

yeah gurl get it

Fun but occasionally inconsistent in quality.

Adventurous sounds and solid rapping. The ending is incredibly underwhelming.

The sound on this follow-up to Volume Alpha comes across as more developed, personalized, atmospheric, and consistent given just how long this record is. THat being said, the length can hurt as some tracks are quite simply a bore - something Volume Alpha didn't have as much of a problem with. It's still incredibly mesmerizing and very impressive that once again lyricless, atmospheric background noise can be so memorable.

The first half is consistent and electric. Unfortunately, the songwriting and instrumentals become more and more lame as the record progresses, making the latter half feel like such a slog to get through.

I think it's nice to see this genre of rock revived in 2026 as I feel as though the mainstreamability of this indie-punk-rock-esc style is at this point quite vintage. That being said, I don't think tapping into this sound is enough to separate The Fencesitters from any other typical actor within this genre. This record feels like a marked-up version of any generic rock band you'd hear at a bar on a Friday night - not to say that's a bad thing (as I do quite like this style ... read more

Bill Callahan's writing on "My Days of 58" is masterfully thought out with much intimacy interlaced with well-timed playfulness.

There's nothing inherently wrong with "HALO", and much of it shows quality in its production and flow, but Tiffany Day doesn't really try hard enough to sculpt her own image. The style also wears itself out fairly quickly, with only one or two tracks in the latter half feeling substantial. I do, however, really like the start and ending of this project, but not a whole lot in-between.

Consistently amusing.

It's very impressive how Charli was able to take a less-than-ideal situation and turn it into a defining aesthetic.

Very ambitious paired with bombastic instrumentals. Unfortunately, the lyrics can be incredibly annoying at times.
