Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby
Girls Against Boys

I've listened to some masterpiece albums, but very rarely does an album grab my attention as much as this. The bass feels like someone grabbing you by the collar and shaking you back and forth. The lead guitar almost feels like secondary to the drums and bass on this thing. It's a really unique take on post-harcore that avoids the genres trappings and but also its staples in equal measure so much so I hesitate to even call it that. I reference devil and God a lot in my reviews only cause it's a touchstone. Where it takes the staples of the genre and perfects them delicately tiptoeing around its cliches and traps and occasionally leaning into them. This album throws them out the window and you are left with something very unique and original. It's not perfect, a lot of duds and flat moments in what would otherwise be a belter of an album Stand outs are definitely, rockets are red, learned it, and bullet proof cupid Billy's one stop and bug house also deserve mentions 8/10
