Jeff Rosenstock is my guy!
Like pumping some maturity into Green Day, or taking the pretention out of Arcade Fire, Jeff has created a fun, emotional ride that's both easy going and a rollercoaster. It sounds like The Suburbs on steroids, taking themes of loneliness, insecurity, existential angst, and turning them into fun homecoming jams. This is garage rock that actually sounds like it's made in a garage, after scrambling home from school to do your chores in the Reagan era. It's toggles being thoughful and simplistic perfectly, resulting in one of the best feel good albums of the year from a very unlikely source. AND THE SYNTH OUTRO ON LET THEM WIN ISNT PRETENTIOUS ITS POIGNANT! TAKE A MOMENT TO REFLECT WHY DONTCHA!
fave tracks: USA, Let Them Win, Yr Throat, TV Stars, All This Useless Energy, Powerlessness, 9/10
