This modern classic is also revisionist history. Joyce Manor largely ignores emo’s mainstream salad days, going back in time before the ’90s underdogs became overlords in the 2000s. Similarly, Never Hungover Again is a discreet, short album (10 songs in under 20 minutes), a tribute to the days when emo musicians were more inspired by the doomed wit of the Smiths than the pompous grandstanding of Queen. The songs are pretty great too — pared down, infectious poppy punk that gets to the point and moves on. “The Jerk” pogoes along with amateurish urgency and “Falling in Love Again” is refreshingly guileless, like a lot of the best emo was before it became big business.
