Album Review: Neckscars’ “Unhinged” Delivers Raw Emotion and Intensity

August 2, 2025 0

k. I enjoyed the journey Neckscars took me on, albeit a short one. The album’s lean run time still hits hard. If your taste in music runs a gauntlet of genres, Unhinged is for you and may become your new obsession.

The album begins with a powerful introduction through the first three tracks, “Tiers,” “Manor Mooch,” and “Passive Aggressive Pickups,” which exude a vibe reminiscent of Rise Against. These songs are dynamic and impactful, particularly the chorus of “Passive Aggressive Pick-up Truck,” with lyrics like “I insist, you’re not doing us any favors. I resist, what are we even living for?” Some tracks delve into the realm of Fat Records with energetic punk rock featuring fast double bass pedals.

However, Unhinged also delves into 1990s rock territory with tracks like “Dancing In The Stars,” “Burn Me into Nothing,” and “Dual Roads.” These songs provide a transition to familiar sounds that complement the more aggressive tracks on the album. The standout track on the album, “Song You Used to Know,” presents a refreshing change of pace from the album’s harder edge, adding depth and variety to the overall experience.

Unexpectedly, I found myself drawn to Unhinged more than I anticipated, thanks to its experimental nature. The album defies strict categorization into a single genre, offering a diverse mix of styles that include elements of emo and pop punk. The concise duration of the album still manages to leave a lasting impact, making it a compelling listen for those with eclectic music preferences.

In conclusion, Neckscars’ Unhinged on Sell the Heart Records is a compelling and dynamic album that showcases the band’s versatility and willingness to take creative risks. Featuring a blend of influences from various genres, this album offers something for everyone and is bound to captivate listeners with its unique sound. Whether you’re a fan of punk rock, alternative, or 1990s rock, Unhinged has something to offer, making it a worthwhile addition to your music collection.
