Why is this album so underrated?
Nobody talks about this gem which was arguably responsible for kicking off the white noise/vacuum cleaner sound, later perfected by MBV in Loveless.
Even their next album's pretty great despite changing genres.
One of my favorite albums ever, serious consideration for all time favorite

I just can't hear it, I like the album some but I've always struggled to understand the massive amounts of praise it gets...it's just way too clean and polished for me

>underrated
>muh shoegaze

>>74602758
same
>>74602759
try Taste Of Cindy and the other Loveless like songs first, then move on to the rest
>>74602809
Darklands is a pretty great classic rock-ish album that had a few(3) charting singles back in the day, but Psychocandy has more lasting appeal.
bump?
>>74602809
This. It's also a better album.
its overrated. really not that good at all.
There are only two types of songs on Psychocandy: Just Like Honey and The Living End.

Uhhhhh taste the floor?
Never got into this one, I love noisy music and pop music so this should be a solid 10 for me, but the noise seems very superficial and running parallel to the music rather than in conjunction with it. Plus the '80s production (not like the slick pop sound, the weird cavernous reverby mess like the cure's Pornography) doesn't help it either.
And before anyone suggests the age of it excuses it, White Light/White Heat married noise and pop together brilliantly and that was 1968

Better question:
Why is this so underrated?
>>74602730
overrated as shit
it's mediocre pop rock with a layer of noise, that's all
>>74602730
because a lacking sense of history and hideously bad taste is what comprises 99% of the music listeners
ps automatic is their best
>>74604492
