Doves may not have any of the attitude, youth or sartorial influence of their forebears but, by God, they make being sad after drugs sound great.

Gloriously basking in the ethereal ones before them, their debut Lost Souls is a shoegazing twist of emotional bliss.

The more I listen to this album, the first five songs are 90+ but the album is a little front heavy. The second half is solid enough to support the highlights but is a little weaker
This is a great album that has some britpop tendencies but ultimately is in a leauge of its own. Honestly not in the best state to write so ill update later
This was my first time listening to doves and damn was I blown away by this. This album feels like the best vibe ever. The mixture of ambient, dreamy, shoegaze, and indie all work so damn well together and it just makes me fall in love with what I’m listening to.

This is about as Post- as Britpop could possibly get. Atmospheric, dramatic, beautiful songs from one end to the other. It's an indie rock classic, to me. I don't come back to it very often but it's always a great experience when I do. Really great record.
Started off very promising, but it lost me towards the end. I expected it to be creepier, but it lacked in some of the tracks, so that threw me off. Still, there were parts that I truly loved, like 'firesuit' (my favorite by far),'here it comes' and 'melody calls' that just sound special.

Doves are always perfectly serviceable, but there's nothing that massively stands out to me.
