10. Solar Power (Solar Power, 2021)
“Jack Antonoff co-wrote and co-produced this track with Lorde. It took a couple listens for this song to grow on me but I played it while driving home late at night and cruising in the summer weather with this song playing changed everything.”
9. Gaslighter (Gaslighter, 2020)
“This album was produced by “Bleachers” alternative rock frontman, Jack Antonoff, and Bleachers is one of my favorite rock bands, so I thought this would be a killer rocking album, and this is for many of the tracks, but there are also several super slow sleepier tracks that I felt just dragged the album down into dullness for me personally.”
8. Goodmorning (Gone Now, 2017)
“If you listen to it with just the left earphone in, you only get the vocals during the chorus. It’s really nice. First time listening to this song on my headphones I was so surprised cause it was so trippy.”

7. Stop Making This Hurt (Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night, 2021)
“I love how Jack takes acoustic instruments like piano, trumpets, saxophones, guitars, percussion and electronic sounds made by electric guitars and synthesizers to create catchy upbeat instrumentals. Acoustic elements give a beautiful sound to electronic music.”
6. Let’s Get Married (Gone Now, 2017)
“It’s very rare to find an artists whose music truly resonates with your soul, but Jack Antonoff has done exactly that. You won’t stop listening. The music has grown up some since the previous album and it will grow on you. Jack’s experiences in songs transcends his own viewpoint and gives you a new lens to view those moments from.”
5. Chinatown (feat. Bruce Springsteen) (Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night, 2021)
“The more I listen, the better it gets. Especially love how the song subtly passes the vocal baton from Jack to Bruce. The slow transfer of vocals from Jack to Bruce is an ingenious form of respect because it shows that Antanoff’s voice is really only there at the beginning due to Springsteen’s underlining influence on him.”

4. Wake Me (Strange Desire, 2014)
“Straight forward 80’s inspired pop songs. Jack Antonoff shows that he is a quality musician with a talent for using the nostalgia for 80’s pop. This album feels like it comes straight from the era that it is attempting to emulate and effectively captures the mood of those older songs.”
3. Don’t Take The Money (Gone Now, 2017)
“Love this. I didn’t like FUN – but for some reason I feel like there is so much of Jack in everything that is Bleachers. just awesome lyrics, and the irony of real life that I see in his songs make them addictive to me”
2. I Wanna Get Better (Strange Desire, 2014)
“If you’ve heard “I wanna get better” on the radio you will find some of the same energy and feel on other songs , you won’t feel dubbed into buying music that doesn’t sound like what made you like them in the first place. Some music feel of the 80’s and 90’s in the right ways, yes you’ll wanna move your feet.”
1. Rollercoaster (Strange Desire, 2014)
“.This embodies everything amazing about that wild, rebellious romance that’s so rare and special to have. This sounds like it belongs in the 80’s. It slaps so hard though. That’s what I like about Bleachers, they sound so 80’s. This is a great summer song.”
