I don't know of any mainstream screamo bands.

Album Rating: 4.3

I know they're both called "blackgaze" but to me Alcest and Deafheaven are very different bands. Deafheaven are solid and Sunbather is an excellent achievement in particular, but overall Alcest are best no question.

Album Rating: 5.0

yeah talons the blackgaze term is too wide a net. i was going through some blackgaze lists somewhat recently and absolutely hated 3/4ths while adoring the other 4th. think it's the screamo-type vocals/influence that is pretty ubiquitous in the "genre"

'Sur l'autre rive je t'attendrai' is rated the worst song on RYM but I really like it

Not by much.

Album Rating: 5.0

Glad you're warming to this Doof.

What you have to accept is that this album has about 2 tricks that it plays out repeatedly but that that's not a problem in the slightest.

They are some pretty tricks.

album occupies its own little atmospheric niche, it is starting to call me back - think it will top out at a 4 but you never know



album is surely Boney's Launchpad into black metal ;D

So good seeing the love for this. Used to be such a quiet thread even though everywhere apart from sputnik this is generally considered their landmark album

Album Rating: 4.0

This was their landmark album for me, until they released Ecailles
