theyre both great albums and if you like slightly less grungey, more space rock vibes then you will enjoy

Ok I know I said this whole album was consistently good, but from Sideways onward it gets way better

Discovered this one via the Sput "similar bands" tab from Hum. That feature is honestly a godsend.

Starless is unfortunately not nearly as good as this, but it has some bangers

the chorus of semper fi is a real low point for them tho

I pretty much consider Sideways/Pinned to be one song because that's how it is on Spotify. That combo and Housewife have always been my faves here. After that it's probably either The Situationist, Cake or Four Feet of Fence

"Shiner" is a good band, so are many other bands. The implications of this are tremendous; Is it that "Lula Divinia" says "no!" to crazy diversity or mad-hatter ideas? Certainly it prides itself with very well executed dynamic shifts and an interesting production. Well flowing feelings of climax and anti-climax are part of your senses when listening to the pieces, although this sometimes leads up to an over-sung chorus which may be out of place. Currently it may be the only disorientating feeling in the music, whereas should not the goal be to create an ethereal feeling? Indeed, getting the balance right between ethereal motion and musical expression is extremely important in a concept album such as this, which is just so incredibly rich lyrically and expressively -- perhaps a song like "Lula" represents a band which is so certain of itself after such a time of uncertainty, and that's why the song comes across as a bit garish in parts. That's a shame, it is nearly a good song.
