Knocked Loose – You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To

Knocked Loose have nothing left to prove. The Louisville quintet are one of the most successful mainstream hardcore acts out there, even playing sets at major festivals like Coachella. And yet, despite all the success and attention, they cranked the aggression up to eleven with You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To, while still including some unexpected experimentation which separates them from their peers in the genre. For example, when’s the last time you heard a dang reggaeton beat in the breakdown of a hardcore song? Knocked Loose created a fantastic record that’s 27 minutes of catchy, moody, and aggressive hardcore. You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To is everything a fan could’ve wanted – and then some.

Tbh I didn't get it either, was wondering if it was some kind of "reinventing the wheel" joke

almost impossible to read a hardcore-by-numbers (ft. occasional showstopper) write-up without at least a little discourse about innovation, v little of which is meaningful or interesting or expressed outside of the ol wheel trope yh

It’s a reference to my Chamber review from last year, which has apparently supplanted my Porter Robinson review as Johnny’s new meme of choice

Every artist of X genre has at some point stood at the crossroads between air-quotes innovation and sticking-to-the-formula

Unfortunately one Yolo review cannot contain an entire site's worth of wheel discourse
