Jeff Rosenstock | No Dream

Andre

If you’ve listened to and liked Jeff’s other work, then you’ll probably like this new album. He always makes good ol’ pop punk songs that makes you wish you were at Warped Tour.

If you read my recent article on “5 New NYC Punk Albums” you already know that I am over the moon for anything this fella puts out. Their ability to have stayed so consistently good, and still introduce innovations is pretty wild. For any fans of feel good poppy punk music this will be a hit. Good work Jeff.

I seem to be in the minority, but I am pretty disappointed with this record. I feel like Jeff replaced the tender, varied instrumentation of his previous releases with a palette of tired pop punk tropes. Jeff’s ability for huge emotional and tonal range within a short song gave those records legs. Many of the songs feature great guitar solos and some memorable lyrics, nonetheless, I miss soft-loud/mature-whiny Jeff. Those oscillations in character were key. Here I’m just getting the whines and volume without the range and perspective.

Dillon

Painfully earnest punk for when you need it and right now I need it. Jeff gave us a gift with this one, a bleak, bleary, and tear-filled, but somehow still pretty upbeat gift. I could write more on this, but should I? No, instead, I’ll just say this: Go listen to it.

I think I would have loved this as a little kid. Which is a compliment, unbridled energetic 2000s passion. A good introduction would be for an action scene in Frankie Muniz or Marykate & Ashley movie. I wouldn’t choose this music but i like it when its put in front of me. (Hence my love of soundtracks). By minute 8, it gets mosh-pit...maybe it’s because I'm afraid of my own anger but I don't like mosh pit.
