Saturday Night’s Alright For Commenting: 9/29/18

Joyce Manor came out with a new album last week, or maybe it was two weeks ago, I don’t know. I found their first album on Punknews.com that has showed me so many great albums. They do have one the best end of year top ten lists on the internet. It was a constant clatter and raucous rampage of two minutes songs. Their next album was strange, but it made me feel violent all of the time. Their album after that, Never Hungover Again, is one of the scars on my heart and is one of my favorites of all-time. Whenever it came out I didn’t like it right away, but it, like the ones other their first one, took some time for me to fall in love with. This album also cracks me up. When it first came out I thought it was about being so wild and in the moment that it was impossible to be hungover, projecting myself across their songs, but then last year happened and I realized the album was a reflection on the end of youth and the fact that, no, they will never stay up all night and be hungover again. Their next album was super strange but not in a literal way. It just does and will forever make me feel strange and make me ask people how do they feel about Kanye West because I think he’s great I think he’s the best. And their newest album is a 22 minute post-punk, adult punk, thing that’s super pretty that just makes me think of the kangaroo with boxing gloves in Tekken 2.
