I believe this album is super underrated, it has some really interesting things going for it.
Now that Inferno is out, this album feels very much like a setup for it, and a good one at that.
Not nearly as dance centric as the others so far, but it’s good in its own way. The production still sounds very nice. I’m loving the zappy, drawn out synths on these singles
Crazy to me that it’s actually good ðŸ˜
There’s a fun amount of passion put into this, you can tell he cares. And for what it’s worth, the production is good.
This is a super fun one. My favourite track is Elysian, by far. It's nothing insane, but it's vibey, catchy, indie pop rock. What's not to love?
Really great, chill ambient piece. The deluxe edition of Inferno was worth every penny
I have lost all respect for The Guardian. This is my album of the year, thank you.
This was actually one of my favourite songs in 2025 ðŸ˜
I do think it’s really good, obviously inspired by the Tetris, and the vocals work into that really well. The whole thing has a fun energy
Honestly incredible. It makes sense it would be good, coming from a member of Radiohead, but wow. I don’t think there’s a single bad track on here.
I will admit, the humour took its sweet time to land for me. I really could not get into some of them, but after some time I warmed up to it and started to love it.
One thing that’s very specific which I liked, is in the track Is There Anybody Out There?, they reuse instrumentation from Meddle, specifically Echoes, which I think is the best Pink Floyd song. That was really appreciated, and as a general statement the band sounds great here.
In the first couple minutes of the album, I ... read more
Just a touch less entertaining than Heaven Or Las Vegas, but still full of hypnotic vocals and airy production.
The vocals are definitely the highlight, they sound so classical and dreamy.
How can music be nostalgic when it’s your first time hearing it?
This feels similar to ZABA by Glass Animals (one of my favourite albums), im guessing they took inspiration from Animal Collective. Merriweather Post Pavilion is pretty much everything ZABA does, but better.
My favourites are:
In The Flowers
My Girls
No More Runnin
Crazy production; I’m a sucker for this kind of thing
My favourites are:

Death & Romance
Fear, Sex
It’s way better than Rock Music, but doesn’t really take off at all? It sounds like an incredible build up, but builds up to nothing. Maybe that’s just a first impression, and it will grow one me. We’ll see
Maybe I'm just a Beach House glazer, but this album is incredibly underrated. I was really feeling something powerful in the lyrics today, and by chance I decided to continue my Beach House discog dive with 7. That was an amazing choice, because the tracks on this album have lyrics that are so uniquely profound and charged with personality. Such creativity isn't found very often.
My favourites are:
Dark Spring
Lemon Glow
L'Inconnue
Drunk In LA
There are only a few misses on this album. The lyrics paired with the vocals is hypnotic, like a true dream pop album. The feel that I get from listening to this album is best described as vulnerability. It’s as if the music is expressing its deepest vulnerabilities with the listener, which makes for something magical.
My favourites are:
Mouthful of Diamonds
When I’m Small
Bloody Palms
