2.5 averageSandwichBubble | August 25th 24

Heartbreaking: 7/10 post-punk act you enjoyed and subsequently forgot about just released a middling alt rock record. Millions dead.

Confirming they're one of the biggest rock bands right now, Fontaines D.C. slightly let go of their gothic vibe to fully embrace their more commercial, britpop linings - and boy does it work at crafting bangers my dad wouldn't believe were released in the past month.

0.0 didnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | August 23rd 24

You will fall into one of two camps: A. This album is their big hitter where they really show just how good a band they are, or B. This album is a boring slog that undoes so much of the personality laid out on the previous releases.

Outside of the singles it's... really boring? Big
U2 hours over here.

These two singles are the best thing the band has ever done, and I am really excited to see them do something more streamlined and condensed

4.0 excellentcjbizzlebizzle | December 15th 24

'Romance' is a return to form for the Irish alt/punk rock fashionistas and their best release since their first LP 'Dogrel'. After a slow intro, the songs pick up the energy and deliver without many misses in the track list. 'Starburster', 'In the Modern World', 'Here's the Thing' and 'Death Kink' are the highlight tracks for me giving a mix of more upbeat catchy rock tunes and more emotional downbeat songs. The album finishes with 'Favourite' which is one of the groups best songs to date; the transition from the last chorus to the last verse through the end of the song is sublime. One of the more exciting alt releases in a while.

Boring, boredom, I'm bored after all, not even 5 top songs from this, Fontaines on
autoboringpilot. Not recommended, but Starburster is awesome.

I wish this whole album was like starburster. The second half is sooooo boring save the closer
