Schadenfreude is a 2020 studio album by American post-hardcore band Shiner, their first release in almost 20 years. The album comes after Shiner reunited for a series of performances in the 2010s and reissued all of their previous studio albums as vinyl LPs.[2] After slowly piecing together musical fragments and songs from individual band members and demoing in 2018, the band finalized the recordings and released it in 2020.[2] The reunited band supported the album with a tour through 2022.[1]
Writing for Exclaim!, Chris Ayers gave Schadenfreude nine out of 10, praising the musicianship, songwriting, and mixing.[3] Chris Deville of Stereogum gave a positive reception to lead singles "Life as a Mannequin" and "Paul P Pogh".[4] Members of Hopesfall picked their favorite albums of 2020 for BrooklynVegan, listing this at second place.[5]
