Fuck Pitchfork. Bleed American is one of the most important albums in the emo genre. Sure, it's pretty basic at times, but they delivered some great songs. Nostalgia hits me hard, Bleed American was the soundtrack of my youth and one of my favorite albums of all time.
Starting 2025 with Foals! Great album that has just little parts that remind me of Antidotes (as in Blue Blood). Its like they changed a lot in few years. Anyway a good and well crafted album.
Nothing to be hyped about. More of the same, but not that bad as you guys are saying.
