It's fine. I understand that this isn't my natural territory for music, so my takes aren't going to be the most informed or nuanced for this band since I'm trying something new and different to me.

i thought you were pretty spot on, although i would rate the s/t above this because it has more standouts although i cant really get through it

Album Rating: 2.5

Thanks, I appreciate that. I usually give a midline rating to any album that doesn't have anything catch my ear at all the whole way through. Was this a pleasant listen? Sure, but I can't remember any particular point in any song as a standout... I do like the mood it gives off: that hazy, reverb-soaked vibe suits my fancy.

fwiw this is butt boring and hard to defend within its niche too, even one of the 2-3 worthwhile Beach House albums would have you on higher ground. lots of hazed-out dream bands repping a similar sound beyond the meme diary these guys set out

Duly noted Johnny, thanks for the rec.

actually skimming your ratings, skip that and just discog run Slowdive plz for everyone's sakes (including EPs, but you'll see why)

lemon glow was the end 🥲

Coincidentally, I'm just finishing a first listen of Souvlaki right now! It definitely has more going for it than this did. I'll keep plugging away at their discog

Beach House make soundtracks for movies that don’t exist. Maybe that’s why there are 150,000 TikToks set to clips of “Space Song,” from 2015’s Depression Cherry, many of them unattached to a specific meme but involving similar themes: crying, a false sense of profundity, feeling small in a big world. Somewhere along the way, “Space Song” racked up 343 million Spotify streams, and Beach House emerged as one of the most influential 2000s indie rock bands still going. Now Scally is unsure where they should put “Space Song” in the setlist for the Once Twice Melody tour. Over takeout shrimp cocktail, calamari, sandwiches, and fries, he plays out the scenarios—first third or encore?—until Legrand announces that we don’t need to talk about it anymore. While she can muse endlessly about creative concerns, she’s less interested in conversations about streaming and “the industry,” and sometimes loses her patience with Scally’s curiosity (or “hypothetical blabbing,” as he calls it) about such topics. It feels like catching a glimpse of the perpetual push and pull dynamic that makes Beach House work.

I don't see how any beach house album can even compare to souvlaki in terms of quality

bonded with my gf over beach house in the early days, it was said it was the sound of falling in love. we weren’t wrong. but. things changed, you see…

Beach House are monumental; and more so than most other bands there really is a lot of fan disagreement about which is their best album - a sign of their consistently strong discography.

(but the correct answer is of course Once Twice Melody)

Oh jesus, spinning Depression Cherry and I just hit "Space Song" by pure accident. So THAT'S where that song from all the Instagram reels and stuff is from... Kinda surreal to hear it there first and now here...

Album Rating: 2.2

Beach House pre-Depression Cherry is mostly on par with this garbo (a testament to their shared fanbase), but their records since are to this as Slowdive is to Beach House as a whole

...or in other words I don't see how any beach house album can even compare to souvlaki in terms of quality [2]

I've never really connected with Souvlaki - prefer Pyg and their newer releases to be honest.
