    One of the most beautiful and well put together emo albums of the last few years. I loved schmaltz which was my introduction to SLS since then i checked out their other stuff which i also really enjoyed and i think this might be their best work yet. The vocals are beautiful as always, the instrumentals are well put together with most of the time gorgeous guitar melodies and the lyrics areOne of the most beautiful and well put together emo albums of the last few years.

The vocals are beautiful as always, the instrumentals are well put together with most of the time gorgeous guitar melodies and the lyrics are depressing, very realistic and overall just very well written. Its not for everyone but if you like pup or joyce manor you will most likely also like this… Expand

    What a great, evolving band. With each of their releases becoming a little bit tighter and stronger it is such a refreshing thing to see in this genre. The lyrics are meaningful, and you can hear the passion and pain in the vocals. I always admire an album with an opening track that really hits you. This one has it.

    Standout tracks : Routine Pain, Dolores, Losers Pt. 1 & 2

    If your are a little aware of the whole punk/emo scene you must have heard about these guys.
    This album touches deep emotions since the first track, the vocals are spectacular and everything seems to be perfectly recorded. Really enjoyable album though may hit a bit harsh.
    Best songs: Kick, Beach Front Property, Losers Pt 1 & 2

    This is definitely the anthem album of a generation. First song hits hard and they keep laying it on for the entirety. Stop what you are doing and tell your friends about this album!

    Absolutely crushing, anthemic, angst filled yet energizing masterpiece. That's all. The soundtrack to 2020. Criminally underappreciated.

    Breathtaking, emotional and beautiful. I cried on the first listen, especially Losers 2. I absolutely loved every minute. 10/10.

    THE album for 2020. Perfectly expresses the dread that we felt without a single wasted moment.

    Brave Faces Everyone doesn’t have a bunch of easy answers either — it’s more a record of solidarity and mutual support than it is anything more prescriptive.

    Brave Faces Everyone feels like a defining moment for the band. By furthering their sonic template, they show just how they have grown into dynamic and articulate songwriters while retaining their ability to write rabble-rousing, shout-along choruses. What's more, Spanish Love Songs understand that even on the darkest, desolate morning there's hope to be had in waiting for the sun to come up.

    What we have here will likely go down in history as the band’s magnum opus. It’s just so fucking massive and Netflix-level binge-worthy. Without a slow song or acoustic number, Brave Faces Everyoneis ten tracks of loud, abrasive rock music that should connect with anyone who’s life isn’t perfect.
