4.0 excellentplatttt | February 14th 24

In terms of shoegaze, this is a nice middle ground between Ride and My Bloody Valentine. The soft vocals and fuzzy guitars are there as hallmarks of the genre, but it seems to focus more on riffs than atmosphere. Black Metallic is probably top 5 'gaze songs ever.

3.5 greatBritch2tiger | December 14th 15

A pretty impressive album w/ a voice that in itself is perfect for a shoegaze album for it's atmospheric & enveloping nature over every track, but the biggest flaw w/ this album is the lead's lack of expanding their songwriting beyond romance... Maybe I'm being a bit hard on this album, but I cannot feel anything beyond puzzled as to why this band would squander it's potential in this manner.

4.0 excellentSlantedAndEnchanted | August 6th 07

Good album, fairly consistent. Catherine Wheel nicely mixes shoegaze with pop and arena rock.
Black Metallic is fantastic
