American Football - American Football (LP1) [FULL ALBUM STREAM]

POV: You did not have fun in 10th grade

One day I'm gonna fist fight that house.

you will never be a 15 year old living in suburban Midwest during 1999 riding your bike in the fresh breeze at the sundown of the last day of summer while thinking about your high school crush Feels bad man

This band was good enough to build a whole fanbase off one album... crazy

53 yrs old, a wasted life, 23 yrs as a heroin addict, lost my partner to anorexia 12 yrs ago which completely broke me ,clean now for 4yrs and completely lost in life and this music is so comforting.. almost like an explanation for my state of mind over those years, I only discovered American football recently and i have downloaded all of their albums and have found great solice and satisfaction in it, some people call it miserable but it's heaven for me.

Strangely enough, I heard "The Summer Ends" last year in a Tokyo McDonald's on a rainy September day... I don't know who makes the playlist there, but it was an incredibly bittersweet moment to spend alone with a double cheeseburger

The first anfootball is truly americ's best album.

Me in 1999: This new American Football album is great. I can't wait for them to upload the full album stream in 20 years time

Crazy that this used to be the anthem of "modern kids" and now it's the anthem of broken, middle-aged dads. Time really does keep stretching and stretching.

Pretty crazy that an emo album from the 90s made a random house in Illinois almost mystical to me.

The four houses of emo: Fall: American Football (1999) by American Football - deals in regret and having to accept things coming to an end, perhaps relationships or cherished experiences. Summer has ended, and with its changing colours fall brings the transition from one stage of life to the next. Winter: We'll Get to It Eventually (2014) by sports. - deals in self-doubt, frustration, evaluating the ways in which things could be better since life has changed, and the ways in which they're not. With harsher weather, winter evokes harsher and more anguishing emotions. Spring: Home Like NoPlace Is There (2014) by The Hotelier - deals in the newly developed mental anguish, anxiety, and depression, perhaps it's seasonal as a result of the past winter. There's a lot of analysis on death and grief, but spring also means that things are coming to life again slowly, so maybe there's something to look forward to. Summer: Charmer (2018) by Charmer - deals in nostalgia, remembering how all the different seasons have brought emotions into life, and what you've learned from these times. There's references to spending time with people out in the sun, and hopefully developing new experiences and relationships to take forward into life.

cool now i can cry legally

crying in FACGCE : LET'S JUUUST FORGEEEET...

"I like American Football." "What's your favorite team?" * Pulls out headphones. "This one."

Hi. My name is Slavik. I'm writing this now to express my change of attitude towards the beginning of myself listening to this album up until now. Another main reason is to catalogue my emotions to my future self reading this. It's interesting how I've changed. Originally, I listened to this two years ago. I recognized this album's themes; the theme of nostalgia and childhood struggles. At the time, I appreciated that I still had access to my high school days. I knew those memories would ultimately become memories of the past and I indulged in doing as much as I could to enjoy them. I'm now facing the finale of my high school days. I've had many struggles, especially after I began listening to this album. I had a girlfriend that I couldn't emotionally handle. I was accused of doing horrific things. It's been a struggle to say the least. I'm not who I was emotionally anymore. I've matured and learned through my many experiences but I realize now, that just comes with life. I've enjoyed my time with the many friends I've made. All that's left is the final stage, which are my exams. It'll be nice to look back at this comment and understand how I felt. I'll view myself as childlike. That too is something that comes with time. College has a bittersweet atmosphere to it. I hope I'm not the only one in my friend group who experiences that same emotion towards it. I'm sure some do. Most of everyone I know will no longer exist to me soon enough. It just comes with time after all. It'll be strange to experience the lack of closeness of a classroom when I enter college. Anyways, I'll leave it at that. Thanks for anyone who cared to read everyone. Thank you to myself who choose to revisit this comment. I can only hope everything is going just as planned. Goodbye.

Emo is back on the menu boys!

if you are listening this without a broken heart, it's cultural appropiation

The first time I listened to this album I was standing outside my aunts house and just looking at the snow as the sun was setting and every time I listen to this I think about that moment and it makes me happy

This album was a freaking life changer.

if I lived in the Midwest i'd be depressed af too
