YMMV / Fontaines D.C.

• Awesome Music: All three of their albums are solid gold. Highlights include "Sha Sha Sha", "Too Real", and "Boys in the Better Land" from Dogrel; "I Don't Belong", "You Said", and "A Hero's Death" from A Hero's Death; and "In ár gCroíthe deo", "Jackie Down the Line", and "I Love You" from Skinty Fia. Really though, pretty much everything they've done is worth checking out for fans of post-punk.
• Epic Riff:
  • The main riff of "You Said" is enough to make your soul leave your body.
  • "The Boys in the Better Land" is based around a jangly guitar riff that gets the whole crowd dancing whenever they play it live.
• Tear Jerker: They have some pretty big ones.
  • "The Couple Across the Way" from Skinty Fia is an absolutely lacerating song, an accordion ballad from the perspective of a self-loathing old man who has long since stopped loving his wife but is stuck with her in a state of shared misery. Near the end of the song he ponders whether a young couple living next door will end up like him when they're older.
  Across the way moved in a pair
  With passion in its prime
  Maybe they look through to us
  And hope that's them in time
  • "The Lotts" is the only truly dark song on Dogrel, a brooding, melancholy number about a particularly rundown area of Dublin. It conveys poverty and despair pretty effectively with just a few lines of lyrics.
