NicholasM.May 26, 2009Fantastic album, one of the best I've heard so far this year.

GabrielCMay 28, 2009One of the best albums of 2008, garage and powerful noise rock, is really a masterwork as White Stripes's "Elephant", "Young Hearts Sparks Fire" and "Crazy/Forever" are two gems and each one of the songs maybe can be a future classic!

TimS.Jun 8, 2009I love this album. Its right now contending with Animal Collective's MPP for my favorite album of the year.

MycroftWJun 3, 20098-track garage debut, that goes a long way to help proving that whatever the genre, all 2009's best records are upbeat and energetic.

RobB.Sep 8, 2009Tight arrangements that somehow remind me of jazz musicians riffing off each other. Low-fi, muddy sound that is more catchy and melodic than the top 40 playlist on the conglomerate-owned radio stations.

LeeRAug 4, 2009Wonderfully crafted lo-fi garage punk. Definitely one of the best albums of the year, for me second only to Camera Obscura's "My Maudlin Career". The song structure and vocal melodies are much better than both No Age and Wavves. Brings me back to playing and going to punk shows with close friends.

EvanHAug 4, 2009Very promising debut album. More substance than Wavves or No Age, and therefore more accessible. Great album for rocking out.

KevinW.Aug 5, 2009Not only do I love their music, but I love their influences. They cover Mclusky, but they also cite their love for the Chameloens (UK). Two such diverse sounds can only mean sweet pop perfection. I saw them live last week and can say they put as much energy into their live show as it sounds like they do in their recordings.

JAMay 26, 2009It's a great noise-rock album and my favorite debut release so far this year. If you enjoy No Age or Wavves, be confident you'll love this.

AndyMay 27, 2009Some kick-ass garage-rock. My favorite record of the year so far, topping Grizzly Bear's Veckatemist and Animal Collective's MPV.

Jun 18, 2012I'm surprised these two rockers aren't as big as they should be. Maybe that's a good thing. Either way, Post-Nothing is pure rock and roll. From the pulsating drums to Brian King's rough guitar riffs, Japandroids just spill anxious youth rock. It's almost a perfect album. A-

MSimpsonAug 13, 2009A good fun album that contains good honest 'rock' tracks. Its a fun party album (and great for my runs). Thos that have commented on the basic lyrics surely don't get the point?

Aug 25, 2022Fantastic... so simple and stripped down, with easily repeatable lyrics and sludgy, powerful melodies.. this is the kind of thing that gets your heart pumping as you press your foot harder on the gas pedal

MoltenC.Sep 20, 2009What's with all these hyped-up reviews? I bought into the hype but came away feeling cheated. Garage Rock? Hardly. Or does garage rock suddenly have a new definition that doesn't include the Pebbles, Nuggets sound? No melodies or hooks to speak of. No real Songs. Give me authentic no wave, art punk, or garage rock anytime. The Japandroids just leave me cold ... and angry.

It’s all quite charming and lovely.
-
Regardless of classification, Japandroids have created something pure, something without pretense and without any concern for how smart or cool they will sound.

Post-Nothing is their eight-song debut, and it goes by in a flash of infectious, sweaty anthem jams about angsty youth problems.
