Dinosaur Pile-Up Celebrity Mansions
First discovered this band with their previous "11:11" which I loved. "Celebrity Mansions" is getting more commercial attention which makes sense because it has a decidedly lighter and more fun tone. A bit of Smashing Pumpkins influence mixed with drop tuned guitars. And I don't even like most of Smashing Pumpkins but this works pretty well. If you want some legitimate radio bangers listen to this album. If you want something a little moodier listen to "11:11".		3.0

Shrezzers Relationships
I see the Dance Gavin Dance comparisons very clearly, but honestly I like this a little better. Will have to reconsider this statement when the new DGD album comes out. But back to Shrezzers: DAT SAX THO! Such a novelty but it works. Helps keep my attention more than I would have thought.		3.0

John Garcia John Garcia and the Band of Gold
Queens of the Stone Age instrumentation meets White Stripes vocals. The grooves on this album hit so good. Album has definitely grown on me. The deep muddy guitars and the dynamic vocal range that goes from grit to squeaky falsetto will keep this record from sounding like most anything else that came out in 2019.		3.5

Red Handed Denial Redeemer
If I had never heard Protest The Hero's "Kezia" before listening to this album I might have thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread. Laruen's vocals are impressive. The guitars are varied enough to keep your attention. But the overall song structure is a little bland. There are no iconic or even especially interesting moments on this record. And the influence from Protest the Hero feels too direct for me to not be constantly thinking "I like Protest the Hero. And this is like Protest the Hero. I should be liking this more, right?" It's all simply...good. Not great.		3.0

Green Day Father of All Motherfuckers
It's albums this remind me why I started to evolve into more of a blink-182 fan. It is disappointing to hear this tongue-in-cheek farce of an album after Green Day was starting to get back on track to having some actual weight to their music with Revolution Radio. But alas...no. The songwriting is very VERY lackluster here. The album is listenable in bits, but anything past two songs in a row feels redundant and uninspired. Try harder next time, Green Day.		2.0
