Chantelle TW

I'd like to express my adoration for this album. As a fan from prior to the release of their self-titled debut LP, I fell off for many years. I stopped listening from about 2016 and I came across this album and thought to give the band a resurrection in my repertoire of bands. As an outsider for a while, I found this album quietly placed in their list of releases. It was there but it didn't make an impact. Until you listen to each song individually with a special kind of attention. This album from start to finish is a work of art. The feeling of this album is something I want to bathe, to swim in. The sounds are mesmerising, nostalgic, yet brand new. They cover all the genres. There is something different everywhere. It's everything I didn't know I needed and now I cannot stop. This album has resurrected the love I should have had for the 1975 all along and I suggest you take the time to sit down and listen to NOACF, to explore the work behind the scenes, to watch the music videos, and to just exist alongside this piece of artwork.

A timeless album. I will go back to this album again and again, and it remains a perfect capture of the pop-punk era of the early 2000s.

A wonderful insight to a twenty-something year old making it in the world of music. I really enjoyed reading about Awsten’s youth, the cringy stories he had to share, how Waterparks came to be, and his helpful advice along the way. I definitely enjoyed this type of writing and loved the concept of leaving in typos and random errors as explained in the very beginning of the book, and this felt very real to read. I wish more autobiography-spec books were written this casually. You don’t often get to read a non-fiction perspective of someone your age making their way through the world, so I found this book very comforting and I definitely took many lessons from here and applied them to my own daily life. Highly recommended read.

This album takes me back to the roots but in the freshest way. A modern take on All Time Low’s classic sound. Each song is catchy, fun, and a perfect snapshot of everything this band is. Glitter & Crimson is my definite fave.

This album I will listen to loop after loop, the transitions are flawless and each song is its own work of art. I Felt Younger When We Met is a clear highlight, an explosion of a song that you can scream in your car or the shower. So much love.
