Nothing wrong with a to-the-point review. It's why I like sites like AllMusic.

Visuals need a review, thinking on doing it.

I just can't get into Visuals. A few songs stand out but as a whole, it does nothing for me. This one, on the other hand, is still such an excellent album. So many good moments. "Rows" is a phenomenal piece, as is "Clinging to a Bad Dream,"The Night Believer," and "Interview With Girls."

Visuals totally needs a review. Pretty amazing throughout with a few small hiccups here and there.



A or A-: Nothingness and No Regrets, Learn Our Crystals, Candy Pieces, The Wake of Your Life, Heavenly Jewel Thief

B+: In A Better Place, Carry Me To Safety, Twist Quest

B: Ay Ay Ay, Zanzibar

B-: 85 Videos

C: Shoulders



can't remember how I feel about the other bonus track so I'll get back to ya'll on that.



I think Visuals just makes my top 5 of 2017.

I really like Shoulders, C songs for me are Ay Ay Ay, Heavenly Jewel Thief with its maddening jingle bells, and Twist Quest, which I liked at first but now I can't skip it fast enough.



Otherwise agreed.

Best songs are Ay Ay Ay, Twist Quest, Carry Me to Safety and most of all Heavenly Jewel Thief.

Twist Quest sounds like early Mew, just more annoying.

Visuals grew off me pretty much immediately. Carry Me To Safety is pretty much the only track I still feel an urge to listen to.

I'm a retard, I meant Seeker Shivers, not Twist Quest, which is a fantastic song.



We need a Visuals review badly.

the lyrics are lame and it's over-the-top grandiose, but i like it. the rest is dime-a-dozen mew, without any real great guitar hooks or memorable melodies

not sure tbh, never cared much to look into their lineup. frengers and no more stories are the only 2 albums i've ever been really into. and apocalypse has some damn great tunes. these days i think frengers is their best by a mile tbh
