American Football - American Football

One of the Greatest CD's Ever

Self-titled American Football is amazing from beginning to end. There is nothing wrong with this cd at all. If you don't have it already, then get it now. April 11, 2008

Pleasure to listen to

Great layered guitars, interesting time signatures, and at times very deep reflections (lyrically). Plenty of nice clean guitar instrumental tracks, that are especially good for spacing out. Recommend for a long drive home (without spacing out) March 7, 2008

Good chill music

A little slow at times even for what it is, but excellent chill music. It can be picked apart musically, or it can flow through you in the background as you go about your day. The trumpet adds a unique element to the sound. Highlights include "The Summer Ends," "For Sure," "Stay Home," and "The One With the Wurlitzer," although the entire album should be listened to in its entirety! August 17, 2006

Wrote the book, threw it away, all before the genre became musically irrelevant

Masterful songs flow throughout this beautiful, emotional(but-don't-call-it-emo!)disc, scaling the heights of Kinsella and co's excellent, under-rated and influential discography at the crossroads between his hypnotic and mathematical best. There are moments when the compelling structures falter a bit under their ambitions, but by far, to me, it is the wonderful synthesis of everything his earlier bands did in the way of tight percussion and everything his later work did for melodic depth in repetition in one very heartfelt and convincing package, from one musical loving band to one musical loving ear- not to be missed for fans of the emotionally intricate.

amazing album but...

they are not emo. i'd say they were post-emo indie/math rock with a bit of a jazzy twang. whatever. just buy it and see for yourself. August 6, 2006
