    This is the result of three women who have perfected their sound, now it’s our job to listen.

    On the whole, Nosebleed Weekend is a triumph, The Coathangers’ strongest top-to-bottom album and one that proves the band can maintain its essence as it evolves.

    Its excellence and momentum vastly outweigh one’s ability to describe it.

    The 13 songs on Nosebleed Weekend communicate angst, anger, and regret by turns, but that feeling of comfort rests like a soft pillow at the very bottom of the mix, giving the trio enough confidence to explore corners of their sound they had never thought to unearth before.

    On their fifth album, the ’Hangers burrow deep into the world of post-garage pop that feels not too far afield from Georgia indie-rock kin Pylon covering Suzi Quatro. [No. 131, p.55]

    While some tracks do begin to sound alike, the effortless cool that drips from the more fleshed-out and established cuts provides Nosebleed Weekend with more than enough substance to make up for them.

    Polished without losing all its edge, Nosebleed Weekend is another well-written collection with little flab, despite being the Atlanta trio's longest LP to date.

    If calling Nosebleed Weekend the Coathangers' most professional work to date sounds like damning with faint praise, it admirably confirms this band isn't messing around.

    The change of scenery manifests in the album’s wider sonic palette as the trio embrace classic pop (Down Down), garage-rock (Had Enough), surf punk (Watch Your Back) and even resemble a grunged-up Heart on Perfume.

    The record resists you making sense of it. It hits, laughs, ends.

    Nosebleed Weekend goes for the gut and mostly hits it dead-on. Occasionally their ideas get the better of them.

    The Coathangers bring some good punk sensibility to the table but the majority of these tracks lack the velocity that would bring them into moshable territory.
