    Feels Like is a debut of the same melodic stripes as Weezer’s Blue Album, and it comes as a package deal with all the emotional honesty and intensity of their Pinkerton.

    They’re sounds we’ve all heard before but done spectacularly.

    The directness of Bully's songs--both emotionally and melodically--is their strongest asset, but it's tough to argue that Bognanno has any discernable weakness when it comes to her music.

    They've reused almost every song from their EP. But that's forgivable when the band manages a knockout with almost every punch.

    Feels Like doesn’t reference any specific dates or weather, but it feels like a summer coming-of-age album.

    Much of the sweetness on Feels Like comes from the re-recorded and rearranged tracks from the band’s self-titled 2014 EP.

    The Nashville band’s debut is a grab-bag of early-90s alt-rock styles that sounded tired by the mid-90s--and haven’t got any fresher since.

    Feels Like is one of the best albums of 2015. A refreshing debut from a band that goes back to the basics of garage rock and then amplifiesFeels Like is one of the best albums of 2015. A refreshing debut from a band that goes back to the basics of garage rock and then amplifies the feeling with crisp instrumentation, great lyricism, and a growing rage sprinkled with great melodic shifts in-between. And they do it all void of today's digital tricks. The production of this debut album, alone, shows this band is going places and I, for one, can't wait to see what they do next. Expand
