Nothing But Thieves

Catchy, moody rock that sounds like it was recorded in 2000 instead of 2016. This is something that I would have listened to in middle school on my discman over. and over. and over. It’s not really great music, but it makes me want to jump around and flap my bowl-cut hair around anyway because it’s fun.

Recommended tracks: 4, 7, 8, 10

1. (3:38) Light mid-tempo guitar that blows up into a falsetto, heavily-produced chorus.
2. (2:53) Mid- to up-tempo modulated vocals over heavy drums and twangy guitar.
3. (2:45) Energetic with lots of intense rocking out as well as emo vocals.
4. (3:25) Catchy melody with the characteristic guitar and shouting lyrics.
5. (3:27) Down-tempo and moody, exploding at the end with lament.
6. (3:52) A down-tempo, more boy-bandish track than the others.
7. (3:50) Really compelling melody that gets stuck in your head. Relatively varied throughout the whole track.
8. (3:01) Light verses punctuated by an infectious, head-bobbing chorus.
9. (4:07) A slow ballad that is perhaps overly emotional.
10. (3:37) A guilty pleasure of a ‘90s-wannabe track with heavy guitar on the chorus, complete with moans and groans.
11. (2:26) Up-tempo quickie manic jam-out.
12. (3:37) A light, slow jam that is likely unremarkable.
