"90s alt rock with shoegaze elements" = first wave shoegaze

Of course Colton would be in the “Ride isn’t shoegaze” camp. ;-P

The key here is to take the historical view - they were called shoegaze at the time (one of the very first to be called it!) so even though the style evolved beyond their sound that doesn’t make them less shoegaze than their counterparts.

A slight irony here is that out of the "big three" 90s shoegaze bands/albums, this is the only one to have shoegaze as its only primary genre on RYM. Make of that what you will.

Yeah I guess Cyg was just saying what I said but more succinctly.

Idk I'm just tired of the "Ride isn't shoegaze" discourse, guess I can excuse Colton since he's fairly new to the style.

Eh, probably more like the average user's 3.5 I'd say. Or at least my 3.5 and I think I'm a pretty average rater as far as how I distribute them relative to my enjoyment. My average score is 3.5 and some change but I consider that to be skewed high since I'm pretty selective about what I check out, I think Cyg is probably less so.

I tend to overrate things too



My objectivity will never hit 80% at this rate

How can you not be mindfucked by “Dreams Burn Down”????

Also, 8-track version FTW.

Follow up is kinda different, more bright and power pop oriented.

The only great songs on this album are “Seagull” and every track after it.
