11.15.19 | not too upset by any of these picks other than 5
8, 11 and 13 I'm in agreement |
Sinternet
11.15.19 | can we ban the word overrated |
zakalwe
11.15.19 | No it is incredibly necessary and valid |
fogza
11.15.19 | I like 8 way way way more than dear science, which was a misstep to me. But good call on the wall. |

11.15.19 | 10 and 12 are amazing albums, not overrated at all. |

Dear Science was the only essential album they released, Cookie Mountain is too murky/cluttered and 'authentic indie points' courting...though 'Wolf' and a few other tunes are excellent |
fogza
11.15.19 | Really? Cookie mountain is fucking awesome. Dear science made me stop listening to them. |
Artuma
11.15.19 | oh great, another "bash the wall" thread
also cookie mountain is much better than dear science, much more interesting |

11.15.19 | people rave about the production on Cookie Mountain but for me it swamps everything, just sorta a 'loudness' champion but also somehow really dulled. Bit of a soupy swamp.
Dear Science is nice n' crisp, almost danceable, enjoyable to listen to. |

11.15.19 | I think Cookie Mountain is 'faux-interesting' lol
I know what it's up to
'Let the Devil In' is absolutely abysmal and sits in the middle of the record too |

11.15.19 | I remember excitedly downloading DS, liking the opening track, and then crushing disappointment. I blacked out and awoke in a field of ash and blood. Oh dear... Science. |

10/10 comment, would read again. I do actually like Cookie Mountain, but it is a flawed record that panders to indie-isms, Dear Science simply has better songs. |

11.15.19 | I mean it has DLZ, what can compete with that? |

DLZ is ok, but it's hardly as exciting as I was a lover. Or Blues from down here. |

DLZ is great and it brings me memories of that scene in the car park from Breaking Bad which is always nice. |

11.15.19 | 9 is the only Beach House I've heard that doesn't sound like an air conditioning simulator, implementing actual Songwriting, working with a real life drummer and broadening their aesthetic palette worked a treat there
"it just sounds like it tries too hard to be epic."

Atari
11.15.19 | Agreed with 3. Some classic tracks but gets more credit than it should considering it’s not even top 5 Dylan |
wham49
11.15.19 | disagree on 3-4 although 2 does have some down spots, but the highs are world changing |

12.09.20 | Felt the same way about 2 for a long time but it grew on me hard |
