But it plays to the overarching theme of being fearless in the face of doubt. It is a great album, from start to finish.8 meaty tracks of pretty good post-punk from these two multi-talented musicians If not for her whimsical phrasing and over-articulation of words, her paper-thin vocals would feel virtually anonymous. Album Rating: 4.0 great review, you did an awesome job at nailing the one thing about japandroids i love the most.

Halfway through, though, the track pivots to a spry midtempo shuffle, transforming into a deceptively hopeful tribute to personal independence: “I’m in love with my future/Can’t wait to meet her.” During a period in history when time itself seems to have come to a halt, and the future is uncertain, the song’s lyrics smack of irony: “I know supposedly I’m lonely now/Know I’m supposed to be unhappy without someone/But aren’t I someone?”Eilish gets even more animated in the music video for “My Future.” The clip, directed by Australian artist Andrew Onorato, is bathed in cool blue tones before a rainstorm gives way to a more colorful palette, matching the song’s shift in mood and tempo. Genres: Indie Rock.

Celebration Rock is a high energy, fuzzed out rock spectacle that takes a number of listens to fully appreciate. I'm sure many people will point this out, but the best way to describe this album is by the title; this album is 8 tracks of joy, fun, and celebration.
