Another album with cult status in selected circles. However, these circles could hardly be more different when it comes to American Football‘s self-titled debut. On one side, there are the friends of intricate and complicated structures and, on the other, the fans of emo rock. The nine songs actually all fit on any college radio station without any trouble. »Stay Home« is the only track that ruffles the conventional structures of emo rock over eight minutes. Otherwise, the record seems almost tame compared to other candidates on this list.
