"The best moments of American Football occur when the band’s relatability and their development of the genre become obvious.”
"One of the most devastating breakup albums in the history of breakup albums."
"We're only now beginning to recognize how American Football struck an emotional chord, one that’s proven to be every bit as resonant."
"This is the story of American Football... the story of how three kids going to school in Champaign-Urbana accidentally managed to create a major piece of music that has stood the test of time, regardless of how minor the whole period was to them.”
“As the leading forefathers of Midwest emo, American Football guided the genre with twinkly, math-rock riffs and melancholy lyrics that any suburban teenager can relate to. Needless to say, American Football is a quintessential record among the scene, achieving cult status years after with its iconic appeal.”
“Holmes and Kinsella’s guitar playing is the most emotive the genre has been privy to, inverting the typical power trio dynamic and rendering Kinsella’s minimal lyrics as a platform for elaboration rather than the final word.”
"...the most influential album in the genre."
