So apparently Wisp got their start on TikTok. I don't really care about TikTok, but this album kind of rules. This is a collection of six really solid heavy shoegaze (is that a term people use?) songs. Pandora and Luna sound incredible. It's a shame if anyone who likes shoegaze dismisses this because of its social media roots, and I'd encourage them to at least listen to Luna. This album is so short, and the songs are so consistent in their quality, it makes for a breezy listen. Excited to see ... read more
This is a short, nice, sort of incongruous album. Most tracks fit into the shoegaze/dream pop mold, but Montana is kind of country/folk and Movey sounds straight out of the Toe Jam and Earl soundtrack. I'd also say that some tracks sound a little too alike such as Idaho and Track which are placed right next to each other yet start with very similar riffs. I appreciated At It Again cranking up the energy and tempo a bit in the middle though.
Despite not being a cohesive album, Moveys has some ... read more
This is a fantastic album. Lush has more of a pop sound than similar bands, with prominent vocals and shorter songs.

Uptempo tracks like Blackout and Starlust are mixed with more relaxed songs such as Desire Lines and When I Die, keeping the album interesting and fresh all ... read more
Somehow, I had never heard of the Smiths until recently. This is the album of their I've found most enjoyable. Most of the songs have a slower pace but are really nice. The livelier stuff is the best though. The Headmaster Ritual is an outstanding first song, and all of the ones after that are solid until the eerie title track which feels really out of place. Barbarism Begins At Home has a crazy instrumental jam that reminds me of the best moments in The Headmaster Ritual, so it's a shame they ... read more
The Bends is Radiohead's magnum opus. (So is OK Computer and In Rainbows)
Radiohead's sound really changed after this album when they embraced more spacey effects along with more sophisticated concepts and production. The Bends is rawer, more essential rock. Songs like Bones and Just have an edge to them with walls of distorted guitars and shouted vocals that the band never got back to. And it sounds great! The mix of these more hard-rocking tracks with the softer, sentimental ones gives this ... read more
