Against Me! – Transgender Dysphoria Blues (Total Treble)

Laura Jane Grace is taking this whole “first transgender rock star” thing seriously, both in the “transgender” sense and in the “rock star” sense. Transgender Dysphoria Blues is an album about feeling like you were born into the wrong body, about the struggle of trying to become the person you already know you are. And Grace delivers her lyrics with five-alarm urgency, crafting those feelings into universal anthems. Against Me! have never lacked for energy, but they’re now playing with a new force and precision, piledriving their hooks deep into your grey matter because they know those hooks mean something. –Tom [LISTEN]
