[pwnu]

this music makes me sad about my divorce. i’ve never even been married

[robertoborgs]

it's very satisfying to watch this drummer play

[coblt]

I didn’t know they can sound sadder but when they started talking how their kids don’t like their music I felt like rushing to hug them.

Day 1 of Recording:
"Fella's, I'm gonna need you to bring me every goddamn xylophone you can find"

[weezerfanatic]

Stay home is the best American Football song. I used to love Never Meant, but I think Stay Home perfectly expresses what American Football attempts to convey to its audience; the facts of life, the melancholy nature of it, and finally acceptance of the order and chaos of the various interactions and experiences that people have and make with each other.

[Nahh_Bro]

I hope they know that their music still appeals to Midwest college students. Watching this instead of studying for finals

[residentsleeper]

The extended intro on Silhouettes really does the song justice. Such a beautiful song.

"I'll make new friends... in the ambulance" is the biggest emotional ride i've ever experienced from a single sentence. Always gives me chills

[dramartin]

Hope you always think of me when you listen to this... we used to enjoy it so much together and now I can't listen to American Football without traveling to your warm hugs in my mind. I will always love you. MBM.🖤

[gloryxkid]

The one American football video where people aren’t having a shit storm over them not playing never meant, genuinely surprised haha

[frogery]

liking this music and not having anyone in your life to share your love of it with is a tragedy

[Jamesaroni]

Just listened to their entire discography last night. Love these guys

[christmeiss]

steve lamos cracks me up, loved watchin him turn his snare on into 'silhouettes' - too smooth

[luizspindola]

Main guitar: the "I went to through a rough patch but now I'm clean" dad
2nd guitar: the "I have 3 daughters and no son" dad
Bass: the "I never married but I'm cool with my kids" dad
Drums: the classic american dad, who just happens to play the drums too
Vibraphone: The "I became a father at 16" dad
Keyboards: the "I think my girlfriend's pregnant" dad

[fffnck]

That transition into The One With the Wurlitzer almost made me shed a tear 😭

[scotlandiwishyouhadstayed]

their faces, the emotion, the pasion, the love for their music, american football really is a ONE in a lifetime band, not to mention lp1, such a masterpiece.
