Garlands isn't even banshees worship tho. And also this is way better.

I haven't heard Garlands and this isn't fumbling, it's great
Sometimes I wonder if ethereal wave was better than the dream pop it inspired
then again Dead Can Dance's debut is patchy

this is a great, underrated album and heaven or las vegas is a perfect gem of an album that exists, especially as of late, in the spotlight of cocteau twins' career. so I can't really pretend to care if someone wants to fight that current. this is like a 4 probably and that album (HOLV)'s a 5. and blue bell knoll's a 3 or maybe a 3.5. and treasure's a 4, maybe a 4.5. and garlands is ass I don't like garlands at all, this is way way better than garlands

yeah love's easy tears is probably a 4.5 too. but cmon how could you listen to when mama was moth and cherry-coloured funk back to back and be like yes this former song primes me for an album as good as this latter song like no way jose cherry-coloured funk is way better. i'm wrecked rn
"sugar hiccup" is basically just "heaven or las vegas" also [you could argue what this means in any direction but listen.]
but even "ivo" hits harder than WMWM. and "lorelei". treasure. what a great album.

""Sugar Hiccup" is basically just "Heaven or Las Vegas""
They have similarities but Sugar Hiccup is better for a few reasons:
-it's got rawer production (a general strength of this and Treasure compared to later stuff)
-a better name (which might seem like a shallow thing to point out, but both names heavily affect the overall chorus, so I'd say it matters here)
-I feel like I don't need a 3rd reason but I like both songs, I just like Sugar Hiccup more
I'm not trying to shit on HoLV, it's a fantastic record, but this and especially Treasure hit what I'm looking for way more (in fact Treasure's one of my hardest 5s, and one of the best 80s albums in general)

yh sugar hiccup way overstays its welcome. there are some solid tracks here, but that ain't one of them; more a prototype for their later shit
taste preferences over prod are kinda secondary to the facts that holv has a prechorus where sugar hiccup does not, and that that prechorus is better than any constituent element of either song. ars getting crosseyed over the differences between good titles, good lyrics and good phrasing when he should be doin the damn maths

Never have I thought in my life "this song is better than this other song cuz it has a pre-chorus" and I don't believe I ever will
It's about the overall feeling of the sound, if you get too caught up in music theory then are you really enjoying the song or are you just tying to lawyer your taste as superior?
No objective music lawyering please, no one likes lawyers

I say that this is better than HoLV not because 3x8=24, but because I like how the average song on here sounds more

gonna chalk up english comp alongside maths bc you missed the cinch that prechorus is better than any constituent element of either song. does not mean that all songs with prechoruses are better than songs without prechoruses jfc
also enjoying
>No objective music lawyering please
>makes literal list of reasons why one song is better than another

Paying enough attention to the boringness that is a Beach House song, to determine whether or not it has a pre-choruses, is the kind of chore I'd need financial compensation to do.
As for the garlic: You're confusing me with ReefaJones who cares about that

All I know about Sicko Mode is that it and Maroon 5 worked together to ruin the Superbowl Halftime that was supposed to be dedicated to Stephen Hillenburg
Bad memories you just dug up
