  9. 7.0 |   Clash

    A late album rundown boasts a plethora of Italian language thrills, a reminder that Måneskin pack out actual, genuine Serie A stadiums in their homeland.

  17. 3.0 |   No Ripcord

    Rush! is such a bloated mess of a record it’s almost guaranteed to be a smash hit. A miserable buffet of rock ‘n’ roll cliches, from saccharine ballads to off-color glam to bland MTV rock. It’s essentially homeopathic rock muzak
