No Joy is a 2023 studio album by American pop punk band Spanish Love Songs. It is the final album to feature bassist Trevor Dietrich before his departure in 2024.
In Exclaim!, Adam Feibel gave No Joy an 8 out of 10, calling it an album with "purpose" that has "more considered" music arrangements than Spanish Love Songs' previous work. Olly Thomas of Kerrang! scored this album a 4 out of 5, summing up that "if the message of No Joy is ultimately one of perseverance, it's fitting that this is an album which seems set to grant its creators a new lease of life". At Sputnikmusic, Atari rated this release a 5 out of 5, calling it a "classic" that has "subtle rays of optimism" to serve as "a warm contrast to the band's depressing lyricism, with conflicting emotions now in constant battle", continuing that "there's no other band out there that can write such hopeless lyrics while also managing to make me feel so alive".
All tracks are written by Spanish Love Songs (Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, Dylan Slocum, and Meredith Van Woert).
