One of the best Midwest Emo records you'll ever hear. One of the best records you'll ever hear... At least if you have a similar taste to me. Remastered.

Modern Baseball & Marietta - Couples Therapy
83

An excellent EP with 2 excellent Marietta tracks and 2 excellent Modern Baseball ones. Excellent cover too. Excellent.

Modern Baseball - The Nameless Ranger
80

Not quite as explosive as the bands other works, but still a catchy romp through MOBO's pre-Sports library

Modern Baseball - Holy Ghost
97

Holy Ghost is special. It's catchy, it's thoughtful, it's witty, it's emotional. Truly Modern Baseball's magnum opus and one hell of an album to go out on.
I can't put in words how much this album means to me. It's neat.

Modern Baseball - Sports
88

MOBO came out swinging with Sports.
It's Modern Baseball.

Modern Baseball - You're Gonna Miss It All
89

My only complaint is that I wish it was longer.

Modern Baseball - MOBO Presents: The Perfect Cast featuring Modern Baseball
89

The Perfect Cast is perfect. 6 great MOBO tracks featuring Modern Baseball.

The Front Bottoms - You Are Who You Hang Out With
30

Overproduced and uninspired. Sella's voice, love it or hate it, is a huge part of The Front Bottoms' charm and the heavy use of auto-tune dilutes that charm to a point that it doesn't really exist.
Up to this point the worst TFB songs were just middling to decent, but many of these tracks are truly bad.
The single Outlook is excellent and had me incredibly excited for this album, but hot damn did they miss the mark.
Batman and Outlook get a pass, they slap. Paris is genuinely atrocious.

The Front Bottoms - In Sickness & in Flames
85

In Sickness and in Flames feels like a true culmination of The Front Bottoms' catalogue while leaving behind the worst qualities of Going Grey. It's a more mature sounding album to their past works and while it may not work for everyone, it definitely works for me.

The Front Bottoms - Going Grey
60

A sidestep from the sound that defined their first three albums, Going Grey isn't necessarily a bad TFB album, just decidedly different. I enjoy most if not all tracks here, but none have me coming back consistently. Not a bad album, but not a great Front Bottoms album.

The Front Bottoms - Back on Top
79

A step back from their previous two releases, Back on Top keeps the writing style I love from TFB and infuses it with some poppier production that while solid, does feel a little too well produced for my personal liking. Still has some all timers, Ginger is underrated as hell.

The Front Bottoms - Talon of the Hawk
89

An excellent follow up to their self titled album, once again not a weak link in the track list. Everything I love from self titled, but now with what is arguably THE The Front Bottoms song, Twin Sized Mattress. Slaps.

The Front Bottoms - The Front Bottoms
89

Not a weak link in the track list, it might not be for everyone but it sure as hell is for me. Gimme that voice crack, those power chords and them vulnerable lyrics.

Jeff Rosenstock - WORRY.
92

At the time ambitious album from Jeffy boy, pays off massively with an energy that flows through the album making it completely captivating.

Hot Mulligan - You'll Be Fine
78

The hits truly hit and they come at you fast. A lot of catchy emo.
As an album it does feel a little wonky at parts, the instrumentals on SPS stick out especially, though the acoustic version of this track far makes up for it here. A good album. A good dog on the cover of the album.

Jeff Rosenstock - HELLMODE
93

Jeff Rosenstock rocked up with album of the year for 2023. The energy he brings to every track is as infectious as ever with a variety of styles meshing together to make what is his best work to date... Or joint best with Worry, gimme a few years and i'll get back to you with that verdict.
DIY at heart with insanely solid production all around. Top tier.

Mom Jeans. - best buds
73

It's cringe, but very endearing cringe.
A lot of the songs feel very similar so if you don't like one, odds are you wont like the album. For me, it's fun and has a Bob Burger.

Hot Mulligan - Acoustic Vol. 2
80

Another great accoustic EP with no weak links. Heem Wasn't There's vocal performance is top notch

Hot Mulligan - Acoustic Vol. 1
80

Honestly I prefer the acoustic versions presented here to their original tracks
