"Is Nothing Feels Good the quintessential emo record? Maybe, maybe not, but you could do a lot worse than starting here. Though now 18 years old, the Promise Ring's landmark sophomore album retains the freewheeling spirit its members, then in their early twenties, imbued it with. Listening to it isn't about being transported back in time to their youth, or yours for that matter—it's about encapsulating all the frenetic, nervous joy that comes with new adulthood."  - Pitchfork
