This is worth jamming in full at some point for sure and as I said the new one is great too, just pure fun noisy dreamy pop tunes.

Album Rating: 4.5

You're part of the problem. :-P

Admittedly I might overrate these guys a bit as they were one of the first bands on the noisier end of the indie rock spectrum that I heard but either way I still enjoy them.

Album Rating: 4.5

I still adore this album.

Album Rating: 3.5

It's a really good album. Every song sounds like it's paying homage to a different 90s indie band though - not that that is a bad thing as such.

Album Rating: 4.5

It's the best 90s album that wasn't released in the 90s imo. It hits all right notes.

To be fair I still haven't heard most of the bands they supposedly emulate here.

What actual 90s album/band would be your number 1 rec for me based on my love for this?

dinosaur jr, pavement, jesus and mary chain, sonic youth, sebadoh, eric's trip, yo la tengo

Album Rating: 3.5

Get Away - Dinosaur Jr

The Wall - early Placebo

Shook Down - Teenage Fanclub

Holing Out - Sebadoh

Suicide Policemen - The Clientele

Georgia - Yo La Tengo

Suck - Pavement

Stutter - Bedhead

Operation - Ash

Sunday - The Field Mice

Rose Gives a Lilly - instrumental Sonic Youth

Rubber - early Smashing Pumpkins



Something like that

this style of music is one of my favorites but this specific album feels so calculated, as if they did exactly what doof did and picked an influence for each song

Album Rating: 3.5

Ryus, they get away with if for me because:



1. They write some great songs.



2. It sounds like they had fun writing/recording the album.



If the songs were a shade weaker or if it sounded like a chore for the band the album would quickly lose all appeal.

Album Rating: 4.5

Nice, a few bands I haven't heard of mentioned there. I def really need to get on Dino Jr, Pavement, Sonic Youth as well as more Smashing Pumpkins and Yo La Tengo.

boney it amazes me how many classic indie bands you havent heard

Album Rating: 4.5

I guess not knowing the influencers helps this for me but I still think they absolutely nail the sound and there's so much energy, the songs really pop. I'm not one to automatically criticize a band for being derivative, songwriting is the most important and I think they achieve that here. Plus from a sound perspective there's just so much fuzzy creamy goodness here, I love the guitar sound.
