"ppl being reductive as an attempt to sound enlightened but really just sounding dumb"

isnt this like your trademark

remember when you said
"this album kinda sounds like what Loveless would sound like if they were actually experienced/technically proficient enough to bring the idea its cover conveys to life"

Album Rating: 2.5

"imagine thinking that a song simply having cathartic and twinkly melodies makes it similar to the war on drugs my eyes are rolling into the back of my head rn"



i didn't even list a reason, was thinking production more than anything (lost in the dream). interesting that you see a different similarity though



"ppl being reductive as an attempt to sound enlightened but really just sounding dumb"



you literally asked me lol [2]



the sweet trip bro-ness has transferred over into slowdive i see, i'm at least glad you chose their worst album to be sweaty about. didn't you say unprovoked in this thread at one point that this album is more "technical" than loveless lol?

anyway check new kraus for good gaze

Album Rating: 4.0

this might be weakest but only because the three previous records are all super incredible, especially pygmalion

Album Rating: 4.0

in what way is it not?

Album Rating: 4.0

in terms of arrangements and production this is obviously more technical than Loveless. not that that necessarily makes it better. but it does

lmao if you knew the first thing about loveless you would know how untrue that is

Album Rating: 4.0

i do know the first thing about Loveless and it's bad mixing. don't get me started on the second thing

Album Rating: 3.5

Agreed, even if I slightly prefer Souvlaki to Pygmalion.

Album Rating: 4.0

ya if this was in any other shoegaze band's discog, particularly one not as consistently good, this would be #1. Pygmalion > Just for a Day > Souvlaki > this to me

Album Rating: 4.0

is pygmalion even shoegaze

Album Rating: 4.2 | Sound Off

Maybe the songs with drums, but I’d say it’s mostly ambient/dream pop.

Album Rating: 4.0

Pygmalion is post-rock, there I said it.

Album Rating: 3.8

I don't think that's a hot take boney

Album Rating: 3.8

After all weren't we all yelling about talk talk in that thread a few days ago for some reason?

Album Rating: 4.2 | Sound Off

There’s some post-rock in there yea. Pygmalion is a very unique record that draws from a lot of styles.

wow y'all got fuckin shredded on the last page
