This feels like nostalgia

*cries from nostalgia*

True

>A completely pedestrian work. The groundwork is bland melodies that no one could make appear anything but amateurish, thus Shields & co. decided to cleverly hide them amidst loud and irritating drone, some cardboard drums and vocalists so bad I seriously cannot fathom why anyone ever thought it was a good idea to record them. Now, I obviously do not oppose the concept itself, given my well-established love for The Jesus & Mary Chain, but I feel there is a fundamental difference between the bands: while JAMC worked noise into songs, taking ear-piercing white noise as something to work with harmonically, MBV layer chunks of coarse not-quite-so-white noise over their subpar Britpop trifles of songs. The result is not hypnotising, haunting, dreamy or whatever vague adjective you choose to apply, to me it all sounds rather morose. The work of a band who dabbled in pop music and (understandably) decided it was not their forte, choosing to expand their half-formed songs to crude noisy "jams" that certainly don't sound like quarter a million pounds was spent on them. It's lifeless, anemic, and essentially boring.

Fuck I hate the pretentious hipsters who hate on this masterpiece. They're either deaf or just completely stuck up with shit taste. Ugh.

Wow well said OP

Can you please talk about other albums? Yes, its a masterpiece, it transcends all of time and all of that, but seriously there is more music out there. Everything that is said has been said. I agree with the OP but I feel like I see this album posted twice a day.

Some japanese shoegaze band called Coaltar of the Deepers had that effect on me. Their discography is entertaining.

This just sounds like Lost in Translation to me. But, like, really good.

Lol why does every RYM user have an inflated self worth? like as if harping on an album older than them somehow makes their lives any better

>>71734889

Their loss.

I hate the pretentious hipsters who actually like this drivel

This was quite underwhelming, desu. /mu/ hyped it so much, yet it's okay at best. When You Sleep and Loomer are the only tracks that are good.
