Unbelievable. Every track is killer, it's almost impossible to pick a favorite.

Beach House have realized the trance like aura behind their sound and have truly embraced it. And for those rpeople who say there isn't a standout track like Norway, did you listen to Other People or New Year?

I listened to this less than twice and I think that'll be it. It's nice and all but not interesting or fresh or anything. I think I'm losing touch with sputnik's trends and tastes because all these high ratings are actually baffling to me.

Exemplary modern Dream Pop album. I not only see this as Beach House's best record, but as one of the best records of the whole decade. The sound design is flawless, everything sounds great. The songs are all amazing, also songwriting-wise. Definitely a classic for me.

FINALLY Beach House wake up and, well, bloom. Instrumentally, this is far richer and more compelling than anything from their prior catalogue, and you can tell from the very well executed, compelling intros to 1 and 2, and from the post-rocky unfolding of 1 despite relatively generic BH vocals. Vocals do remain the main hold up here and still sometimes feel tame and a bit bland for example early on in 2, but they often eventually vary, with more adventurous vocal compositions, which then complement the richer instrumentals. 3 shows this with an ok first track, but a second half where the band finally reveals its potential and explodes a bit. 4 is an actual sweet good song that I'd come back to, but 5 is more regular BH albeit with more meat to it. The album peaks with 6 and 7, which are my first real BH jams, have more prominent drums, more ideas, and are just overall far richer and more compelling. Just hear the synthy bridge at min 2 on 7 for example. 8 is nice but doesn't reach the same jaminess, while 9 comes back to their regular flaws - albeit still with the richer sound on this album. Melodies on 10 evoke candy claws a lot, it's nice and better than their older stuff but still quite protracted and not truly my cuppa, while the ghost track feels like a bit of a bore. Clearly superior to anything else they've put out, with fewer flaws and songs I actually liked, so hell I'm slapping a 3.75

The dream popped in my head. If Candy Claws is the new kids providing us the most original and adventurous dream pop AOTD, Beach House remains the ol' uncle concentrating on what he does best: pleasant, aerial and full-of-sounds dream pop. It's good, but you'd rather listen to Cocteau Twins.

You've spent too much time in Africa, my friend. If this had more bongos and fancy flutes I'd bet you'd be right on top of it. Just give it time to bloom.
