"The magnetic Jeff Rosenstock stays fully armed with his power-pop anthems, as full of indomitable hooks as they are of paralyzing doubt and cynicism."
"As a collective package, POST- is incredibly accomplished. You’ll relate - hard - you’ll be shook, you’ll feel attacked, because this record underlines in red marker some uncomfortable truths which are articulated uproariously. POST- has set an extraordinarily high bar for the rest of punk in 2018 to clear."
"The record is near hypnotizing from the getgo, with the record opening up with the 7 and a half minute garage-state of the union address “USA”, having you sing along yet lose your mind in a fucked up ambient sleepwalk later on."
"POST- serves as a reason to stop being so mopey and bitter with ourselves and to channel that into something we can change the world with, no matter how much time that could take. We’ll never let them win, and maybe nothing will ever be the same, but as long as Jeff is as Jeff does, everything will be alright..."
"It plays like a culmination of everything he’s mastered over the years: A woolly narration into the spoils of America and all its broken promises that picks up some friends from the basement to shout-along into the late night hours."
"...10 tracks of bruising pop, barely veiled rage, bloody fingernails and biting optimism that we didn’t even know existed four days ago. Jeff Rosenstock albums are always a wild ride. Turns out they’re a darn good way to start a new year, too."
"Restless punk idol Jeff Rosenstock surprise-released his sixth studio album early on New Year’s Day. POST- is Rosenstock’s first since 2016’s brilliant WORRY, and it’ll shake your amorphous sense of New Year’s apathy right off."
"With POST-, Jeff Rosenstock has done a fine job of making cheerful music for unhappy times."
"He is an exuberant punk-rock supernova, grinning and roaring and not-so-quietly despairing. He is a rambunctious bard of late capitalism, perceptive as he is blunt, hooky as he is wordy. He is the architect of POST-, the first great record of 2018, released for free unexpectedly on New Year’s Day. He earns his lyrics’ exclamation points and the album’s all-caps title. He is, perhaps, your new favorite band. He is a guy named Jeff."
"Rosenstock dropped his latest work, on the very first day of 2018, and as you pore through all nine — the first track is a five-second spoken word intro — of these defiant, angst-y, and wondrously hook-filled songs, the genius of the move becomes evident. Post- is a savage throat-clearing. A shaking off of the dogmas of a year that brought defeats, and misery, and bewilderment on a near-constant basis. 2017 was a bummer he allows. 2018 could be better if we try."
"POST- is a confirmation of Rosenstock as one of punk rock’s greatest, most effusive living songwriters."
"POST- is an album about finding hope in the future. Not in a passive, pacifying way, but by challenging yourself to step up and take action, day in and day out. While that sounds incredibly daunting—and like a really tiring listen—the album’s most impressive trait is that it makes all that vital work feel joyous and communal. In total, POST- calls on both its author and its listeners to improve, even if it doesn’t come easy."
"Jeff Rosenstock really is the perfect person to start our 2018 season with. In the wee hours of Jan. 1, while most were waking up to hangovers (or still working towards them) the prolific punk rocker was ringing in the new year by surprise-releasing a new album, and a very good one at that. POST- is here, early and awesome; slacker rock tour de force is soon to be taken on tour by one of the least slacker musicians you'll ever meet."
"Rosenstock’s specialties are cries of joy seemingly motivated by sheer terror — while anxiety about political unrest and tech-addled alienation pervade his lyrics, the music transforms those stress nightmares into rousing, unifying anthems that somehow manage to chase the demons away."
"The album comes to a close with the most anthemic and inspiring "Fuck no!" you've ever heard, before delving into an extended Vangelisian synth outro, a breath of fresh air after a fight through anxieties, worries, anger, and coming out the other side optimistic for the future."
"And in using this straight-ahead, anachronistic bash-it-out music to reflect layered and complicated right-now fears and anxieties, Rosenstock pulls off some kind of magic trick. With no forewarning, Rosenstock gave POST- away to the world for free on New Year’s Day, as if he knew that we’d all need this little shot of catharsis."
"Rosenstock’s punk authenticity is however most clearly expressed in the banding together that sits at the heart of the record. Never devoid of a healthy crowd, Rosenstock’s defiance and continual rallying is his defining trait. Delivered with a passion that feels like it could at any time escalate to a frenzy, Rosenstock laments the USA’s current situation in true punk style with his heart on his sleeve. And when he’s in this kind of mood, you’d be hard pushed not to tag along."
