Rosenstock's latest is my favorite album of 2016, so let's tip back.
We Cool?'s not as overwhelmingly hooky or overpoweringly sincere as Worry, lacking that strangely satisfying glimpse of the crumbling New York scene - but the core magic's totally in place, roaring with love, exhaustion, determination, grappling with death, grasping at joy and clinging for dear life, all set to endless storming Weezer guitars, spiked with the Pixies, Thin Lizzy, and everything soaring.
There's truly personal moments, real rock and roll let-ya-ins, a bipolar rocket that can't stop moving or it'll start thinking, so the guitars just keep coming - an effortless piece of almost-pop-punk panacea for the desperately crowded and hopelessly alone 4.5/5
