This is an album for Vada Vada lovers. If you’re familiar with Wyatt and Fletcher’s solo projects, Enjoy and Puzzle, you can hear how both brothers’ distinct musical styles come together to create this wonderful album. The guitars, synths, and samples come together to make something that feels both familiar for the band but still very new and unique.

It’s always a little difficult to review albums after the first listen. I had never heard of this album or band before, so I went in blind. Decent vocals and enjoyable instrumentals. Pretty good would listen again

Another calm and decent listen. I enjoyed it more than Head Over Heels, but it’s another album I don’t have much to say about.

A decent, calm listen. Not much to say about this release, but I would recommend it. It’s cool to see that a band my mom loved decades ago is still popular to this day.

An album I grew up listening to often. I don’t have a lot to say about it. Maybe it’s just because I’m most familiar with this album, but it’s one of my favorites in her discography. It has a lot of passion and emotion put into it, and it’s an album I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving.

This is an artist I grew up with and I’ve been listening to her for literally my entire life, but I’m a little less familiar with this album compared to her other releases. It may not be my favorite album of hers, but it’s still enjoyable. This is her second album, and we can hear her musical style lean into the more traditional country style that we heard on her first album. She’s a strong vocalist and I think that her voice matches the instrumental sound of this album well, making it a decent listen worth checking out.

This is currently the band’s newest album, and it marks them returning to a similar musical style as previous works after experimenting stylistically with MADLO. Pretty standard release for the band, and I don’t have anything critical to say about it. If you like Car Seat Headrest’s other music, you won’t be disappointed with this.

Not too much to say about this. I’m not that familiar with this style of music but this was fun to listen to. No criticisms here. I had a nice time cleaning my room and listening to this.

My mom recently gave me a lot of her old CDs and plans on giving me more. I had never heard of this band or album before so I was going in blind. I appreciated the overall sound of the album and loved the vocals and guitar. Definitely worth a listen.

I remember listening to this album the day it came out and falling in love with it immediately. This is probably one of my favorite 2020s albums and it seems like it brought a lot of popularity to the band. It sounds slightly different from previous works, and I’m interested in how Viagra Boys will expand from here. It still contains all the elements that make Viagra Boys’ music amazing but pushes the boundaries of what to expect when listening to their songs.

An underrated release compared to other Viagra Boys albums. A pretty solid album by the band that continues to showcase their musical style in a great way. Probably my favorite aspect of a Viagra Boys song is the saxophone that you’ll hear in a lot of them. It feels more personal and emotional when compared to Street Worms, the album that came out before this one. While this may not be the most popular VB album, it’s still absolutely worth a listen. Rest in peace Benjamin Vallé.

The band’s debut album. Here we see a continuation of the post-punk energy and storytelling lyricism that was present in the EPs released before the album. Some songs are a bit mellow and calm, but they’re paired with catchy and energetic tracks on this album. I think this is a good showcase of what the band can do and I’d consider it a good starter album if you want to start listening to Viagra Boys

An EP with only three songs that is a little overlooked compared to other Viagra Boys releases. The lyrical storytelling on this release is amazing and I love basically everything Viagra Boys puts out. This is probably one of the best bands I listen to and I think everyone should check it out. This was released early in the band’s musical journey, but it’s still just as great as their new work.

A decent release that I don’t have much to say about. Good for casual listening. An album with a great sound and notable powerful male vocals. This is one of those bands whose songs I heard as a kid just from my mom playing them around me, and I’m proud to have one of their records in my collection.

A chill album that uses a lot of synths and samples to create its sound. Good for casual listening and easy to enjoy. I’ve been a fan of the album since the day it came out, and I find myself coming back to it frequently.

Puzzle’s newest studio album. It’s fun to listen to and I appreciate his musical style in it. My one small complaint is that Fletcher’s vocals can get a little breathy at times, but it’s not that big a deal for me personally. The instrumentals are put together well and I appreciate the sampling in some of the songs, though I feel like this release had less of that sampling as opposed to releases like Places We Choose Not To Look or The Rotten Opera. Looking forward to see what direction the Puzzle project goes towards in the future.
