    Is the air out yet?
    In the beginning, they were enthusiastic with fresh music and were hyped in the media until they waved off. Now a few years have gone by and Greta Van Fleet deliver more and more loose songs. No one can really inspire on this album anymore. They are in the generic and insignificant phase of their band history.

    Vocals are great and even the instruments sound really good and it has a good mix, but some disappointing songs makes us feel that this record is not exacly like we wanted it to be. It´s not their best work, but definitely not their worst too

    They’re still unabashedly clicked into late ’60s-early ‘70s bygone rock, and Starcatcher is, indeed, classic Greta Van Fleet.

    Starcatcher feels like their most consistent and complete record yet. [Aug 2023, p.74]

    It’s a record so entrenched in referencing other music that it ceases to be artistic expression, and is entirely separated from expression as a concept, floating in its own sterility. Looks like it’s back to the drawing board for whichever craven startup CEO cooked this one up in the experience machine; you won’t be able to unplug fast enough.
