"Ogbert play a raw, unhinged, massively catchy form of emo built from shredded throats and gnarly melodic guitar riffs. The song titles include 'Malkmus' and 'Matthew Renzo vs The Hoboken Parking Authority' and 'Rats! It Didn’t Work!' Despite a sober conclusion that leans into the death and despair underpinning the album, most of I Don’t Hate You distills Ogbert’s dark feelings into hooks so intense they can’t help but feel euphoric.

As Brooklyn Vegan pointed out, the album pulls from pillars of the genre ranging from Cap’n Jazz to Taking Back Sunday, but with a fresh, manic urgency that reminds me of Pup. With that in mind, their songs are built for wilding out at a basement show or a crowded club, just going absolutely apeshit while screaming, 'What’s your fucking problem?! Why the fuck are you always like this?!' and 'I found your copy of The Bell Jar in my closet!'" -- Chris DeVille (Stereogum)
