I adored Souvlaki after my first listen, becoming one of my favourite albums. But for some reason, the first couple of times listening to Loveless didn't do it for me. Now I think it's fantastic.

shit slaps, enjoy

>>72917067
It didn't click for me the first few times too anon, now i can't get enough of it

enjoy your listens

>>72917067
ah man.. i miss that feeling.

i remember when it 'clicked' and i would blast this in my car surrounded by shoegaze heaven

You're not alone. For me "Only Shallow" and "When You Sleep" were immediately appealing, but it took several listens to really appreciate the rest. Since then it's remained a top five favorite. Perfect example of a "give it another listen" album, and very rewarding for anyone who doesn't write it off as le ebin vacuum maymay.

i knew it would.

I own Souvlaki on vinyl (although it doesn't look like the one pictured, the back is just black with a tracklist)

I think Alison is one of the greatest songs in the genre, and definitely a 10/10, but the rest of the album is mediocre and hardly worth a second listen, lol.

you are an unironic retard

You'll grow out of it in a few months.

isn't anything is better imo

>Souvlaki Space Station isn't the best song on the album
kys

>>72920471
lol

>>72920248
I actually agree with this
Souvlaki was one of the first albums I ever really got into and try as I might after years I can't enjoy most of the album beyond Alison and Souvlaki Space Station. I think it's a bunch of pretty-good-to-average pop songs that build a little bit on what other bands did before. I don't think they're particularly original or innovative, especially not Pygmalion or their new album.
That's not a judgement or anything I'm just relieved to know that I'm not crazy and someone shares my opinion

>>72921072
>i dont like X music because it is not innovative enough.
what

>>72921522
I don't like it because I think it's kinda boring. I just also see a lot of people talk up Souvlaki and Pygmalion as being groundbreaking or experimental in some sense or another and I've never understood it.

ok so im new to shoegaze/dreampop
what artists/albums/songs would you say were the influences for souvlaki and Pygmalion
