Dogrel was good iirc, lost interest after tho

A Hero's Death has always been their best imo, most consistent/realized and a great atmosphere to it

Agreed, AHD is their best

Skinty has higher highs than AHD for me, so I err towards it. It feels even darker, too.

Album Rating: 4.5
Skinty absolutely doesn’t have higher highs for me. I can’t rly point to a lot of standout moments, I just remember thinking the album was tightly executed and fun for what it is. This is much better songwriting and took me by surprise

Nothing here reaches the heights of Skinty’s opener, I Love You or Nabokov.

Album Rating: 4.2
Nabokov is very annoying, the vocal take on that song is absolutely awful lol. I Love You is their best song tho true

Yeah I’ve gotta agree with Rowan on that one

Album Rating: 3.5
What the hell, Nabokov’s amazing. Vocals have gallagherish flavor, which normally wouldn’t appeal to me, but here it was the way to go.

In the Modern World is an elite song

"Skinty absolutely doesn’t have higher highs"
Nah, there isn't one song on here that matches Roman Holiday, I love you, Jackie down the line or Nabokov

Album Rating: 2.8
Roman Holiday, Skinty t/t and I Love You >>>> the whole of this record fs
quality standard this one has to contend with is more around Big Shot's level, and it reaches it pretty inconsistently. gave it another listen and have fewer gripes than before on a song-by-song level, but am still lost by how little synergy there is between any of these tracks - really jumbled, dissatisfying tracklist

Yeah, Jackie Down the Line is everything a pop single from these guys should be. Still more rock n' roll than most of the songs on this thing. And Johnny's right, there's a lack of stylistic cohesion here.

Album Rating: 4.5
One man's 'lack of cohesion' is another man's 'they can embrace variety like a proper mainstream rock headline act now'.
It's interesting, despite a slight lack of pep before on Side B before the closing pair of songs, this is still the most concise and attention grabbing/retaining listen for me.

Starburster and In The Modern World are ace tracks

last 2 songs on A Hero's Death are still their high watermark tbh but I like more songs on this one than AHD overall
|

Album Rating: 3.0
AHD has killers like Televised Mind, Lucid Dream, Hero's Death, Living in America, I don't belong. Best overall vibe and consistency and no outright clunkers

fontaines try not to release 3.5 album challenge*
*impossible
|
| |
if the band could use the ear they have for singles on an entire album one day i would like that
|
| |
> Starburster is probably the most embarrassing thing I've heard this year
woah fogz that's one crazy take
that's about the only song on this that reaches (near) the heights of the 3 SF singles
