Rush! (studio album) by Måneskin

“Rush!” sounds like if a clipart image of a rock star made an album. The lyricism is mostly "we’re rebel rock stars" or generic love songs. It lacks any depth beyond the surface level posturing. “Kool Kids” is the pit of this concept with an absolutely horrid chorus just repeating the hollow mantra. “Bla Bla Bla” is meant to be a tongue in cheek rebuttal to critics but it is delivered so feebly that it destroys itself. The instrumentation is lacking in any real personality, being a copied amalgamation of hard rock, glam, and 2000’s revival. The whole combination lacks the originals' strengths or a hybrid vigor. One noticeable feature of the album is the superior quality of the Italian tracks. While not mind blowing, they are better written and feel tighter. Perhaps the second language was creatively limiting or the English tracks were viewed as disposable. A poor showing through and through.

Terrible.
Fake as hell.
Useless.
Unbearable voice.

if you asked me to describe the cliche 2000s rock singer voice, I would just point to this
