Open Your Heart
The Men
Released:
Mar 2012
Label:
Sacred Bones Records
Perhaps the first truly great capital-R Rock album of 2012, Open Your Heart is a monument to Brooklyn post-hardcore squall and swoon, blending feral fuzz-guitar detonations ("I'm an animal!" "He's an animal!") into quieter, more pastoral country-fried comedowns. Fans who thrilled to the vivid ferocity of 2011's Leave Home might be puzzled by the slow-burn calm of (yes!) "Country Song" or "Candy," but the thrilling title track and Daydream Nation-style grandiosity of closer "Ex-Dreams" balance it all out splendidly. Plus you can use the record's first 12 seconds to sell a ton of Camaros.
