boring, corny, and formulaic. I could barely finish it
The only reasons the first one was good was because it wasn't awful and it was first

Bad mixing on the vocals.

generic

Okay, now can you explain why it isn't good without using hollow buzzwords?

what the fuck do you want, a thesis?

>>68554605
ok
>The album American Football (2016) by American Football does not emotionally excite me nor have any intellectual value, and follows along common musical constructs by the emo/indie scene that shows a lack in creative expression or artistic investment. I did not feel compelled to complete my listen.
>I believe from my understanding that their debut work gained critical acclaim for not being shallow and emotionless and for being an early work to the scene.
Better?

i like the instrumentals a lot, but the whole track titling thing being the first lyric of the song makes me laugh. still a solid album and i like it.

It's just meh

It's a solid album. Nice sound to it and some emotionally gripping moments.

It sounds good beacuse it's like a mix of their debut and Owen.

it just sounds like a shitty owen record. that's it. I can't think of how else to explain it.

no, I want a cogent response. Not these vague labels.

I agree that its your run-of-the-mill contemporary rock, emo music. But the songwriting carries enough weight to keep it on repeat.

they've just always sucked
