    Pop uber-producer Max Martin is somewhat inevitably on hand to make sure the album gleams even harder than this sharp, lurid foursome do on their own. Unfortunately, Rush! is also a record that dashes about trying to tick all the boxes, with Måneskin’s English-language songs far outnumbering the Italian ones.

    Måneskin are a band who know what they are and what they’re good at – because while it’s true that Rush! starts to feel amorphous, you’d be hard-pressed to find a single moment in its 50-minute runtime where you’re not enjoying yourself just a little.

    Unsurprisingly, it’s overcooked in places. In addition to super-producer Max Martin (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry), an array of producers come and go on the 17-track record that nearly stretches to a full hour. ... But little could possibly dampen the record’s spirit and spunk.

    What Rush! lacks in heft – a couple of glancing lyrical references to sexuality and gender notwithstanding, not even Måneskin’s loudest cheerleader is going to claim it as a weighty album – it makes up for in enthusiasm. If that enthusiasm occasionally tips over into a cloying eagerness to please (Supermodel is a little too desperate to remind listeners of Smells Like Teen Spirit), more often it’s infectious.

A Rock album that brings back old memories, but which the more experienced can recognize is not revolutionary. Revival of the past with calibrated production, but lacks some depth in the choice of terms, but that was not their goal. In order to maintain their success they went for commercial rock, rightly so, not to be forgotten two years after Eurovision. But they can give and must give more, if they do not want to make rock collapse in this rush to the ER to revive it.… Full Review »

You can see that they have experimented a lot with their sound, traveling between different genres, going from more serious and deep lyrics to more light and fun ones. Maybe I would have preferred that there were a couple more songs in Italian, but I would say that the album exceeded my expectations. Well done!… Full Review »

Some self-repetitions and references to the 2000s, such as Fall Out Boy. There is no authenticity. The only thing that is remembered is Damiano's vocal timbre, which also gets boring by the fourth track. The group is trying to save their career with outrageous antics, which are also not surprising. Bowie did all this back in the 70s. The album is weak and mediocre. Thank u, next.… Full Review »
