Tenterhooks finds Silversun Pickups leaning into the nervous electricity that has always powered their best songs: fuzz, urgency, and melodies that look over their shoulder. The foil-stamped gatefold and insert make the anxiety feel suitably deluxe.
Superjudge is Monster Magnet’s fuzz-worship scripture, a churning mass of stoner-rock swagger, psychedelic drift, and riffs that seem to arrive trailing smoke. This 2LP edition gives the band’s early cosmic thunder room to orbit.
Never Hungover Again is Joyce Manor’s tiny monument to big feelings, a 20-minute collision of pop-punk velocity and breakup-afterimage tenderness. Every chorus sounds built to be screamed by people who know better and do it anyway.
