4.5 superbAlabaster Jones | October 13th 16

One of the stereotypes of emo/pop-punk is that the vocalists aren't the best of singers. And as with most stereotypes, there are people that reinforce them. That said, Microwave thinks you can take your stereotype and shove it, because their vocalist Nathan Hardy can really, really sing. Not only that, but their backing vocals are lovely as well. Yet, the vocals are but one facet of the excellence of Much Love. It's got a nostalgic sound, with song after song of emo/pop-punk perfection coming through the speakers, the only knock being that it's not the most original stuff on the planet. But, when you can write songs like "Dull" and "Vomit", that really doesn't matter too much. It's like this: Much Love is every time you've locked yourself out of your house on a rainy day, smiled, shrugged, and thought "well, at least I have a house in the first place". It's every time you have one of those days where nothing seems to go quite right, where every little thing seems to screw up, until someone tells you how much they appreciate you and makes all of those things irrelevant. Gotta love it.

A few great songs on here for the genre although I prefer the previous album for nostalgia sake.

A slightly more accessible follow up to their previous material. As before, there aren't really
any grandiose concepts in the songwriting but it works for this type of music. The tracks clearly
tell relatable stories. The vocals are little more refined from previous efforts. Lead vocalist
Nathan Hardy is good--not great--and he gives everything he's got on each track. The music has a
notable southern flavor carrying the introspective lyrics.
The sound is genre-bending. The instrumentation in general is nothing new but it?s much
chunkier/smooth than many of Microwave's peers. Chunky and smooth? like chunky peanut butter. If
you're a chunky peanut butter kind of person you'll like this.
