American Football build on their distinct craft for creating pop songs out of odd time signatures, seamlessly weaving multi-minute epics without ever feeling overblown such as on Silhouettes, cementing the band's return as a success. American Football, not to be confused with British Soccer or Norwegian Table Tennis, have finally found their footing. After the disappointing second album, their third effort feels like a legitimate step foward for the band. The production is gorgeously textured, retaining their emo/math rock sound while leaning more into dream pop territory. It’s also extremely well-written and Mike brings out vocal performances that actually stick.

American Football’s original triumph, on their 1999 self-titled debut, was to reunite two shy siblings: emo and post-rock. It was a pioneering album where lyrical clarity was obscured and complicated by the stealth musical textures surrounding it. Like Slint’s Spiderland, or Codeine’s The White Birch, even Talk Talk’s Laughing Stock, American Football asked far more questions than it cared to answer. But there wasn’t a band around anymore to explain it, anyway. The three young men who made the album – Mike Kinsella, Steve Holmes, and Steve Lamos – split up pretty much on its release

American Football was released on Polyvinyl on September 28, 1999. According to an issue of CMJ New Music Report dated 18 October 1999 the album performed well at college radio stations, which might be due to Kinsella's musical past. Despite the minor success, the band broke up due to the members no longer living in the same. Owen and Rutabega Reissue and touring. In April 2014 American Football announced they were reuniting for live performances.

About American Football. Dubbed as the most influential album in the genre by Pitchfork, emo band American Football’s debut self-titled album is recognized as a cult classic, with Rolling Stone ranking it as the sixth best emo album of all time. The album is also referred to as LP1 due to there being three American Football LPs. The album was originally recorded following the breaking up of band One Up Downstairs, which previously featured vocalist Mike Kinsella and guitarist Steve Holmes

American Football (known colloquially as LP3, as all the band’s studio albums are self-titled) awakens with microscopic bell chimes and shudders of vibraphone as the seven minutes of Silhouettes swaddle the band’s guitar lattices in reverb and glitter-gray exhaust. It’s Steve Reich reincarnated as a tinny iPhone alarm on lead singer Mike Kinsella’s nightstand, going off after a sleepless night. Nearly every track on LP3 pushes out toward the five-minute mark, and where previous American Football songs were internal journeys, this album’s travel to new vistas in all directions. The flow of Every Wave to Ever Rise is languorous and asymmetrical like a tide pool before its outro descends into the same deep water as the Cure’s Disintegration, whereas the intro of Doom in Full Bloom dares to toe the vast oceans of Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
