Slowdive is the only shoegaze band who's albums sound good to me.
They have the shoegaze aesthetics without it all sounding washed out in reverb or being excesively noisy.
I guess shoegaze is not for me.

open your fucking ears faggot

fpbp

I like Alcest you might too

well thats just rude

That's because they are dream pop. While most shoegaze has his roots from noise and rock music expecially, dream pop uses the classics verse bridge chorus formula which is way more accessible to the listener (except for songs like souvlaki space station and a few others of course). Plus the sounds aren't that abrasive or difficult like the Wall of Sound guitar effect of mbv but rather much more simple stuff like some reverbs and delays here and there. If you like Slowdive you'll like stuff like Ride or Candy Claws.

What about Lush? They are melodic too.

Souvlaki is okay, but I can't pinpoint anything on it that makes it unique or memorable.
It's a pleasant listen; Loveless has a whole different sound going for it that I can't find in other bands.
And you know what? Bowery Electric is higher on my list than Slowdive, too.

open your fucking ears faggot

This album is just snore-inducing slowcore with heavy reverb, SSS is the only good track

It's too fast to be slowcore

no u

I feel you. Like most of shoegaze just doesn't have great catchy melody writers. There's not a single good melody on Lovess expect maybe the intro to When You Sleep.

Slowdive is master of writing catchy melodies on guitars and vocals.
The fact that Souvlaki doesn't try to be typical hazy shoegaze for a lot of the record and it has songs like SSS which sounds like a dub song and it has the most adventurous melodic work with the multi guitar parts/vocals make it far from unmemorable. Loveless to me is unmemorable because of how they are all boring pop songs with no style outside the shoegaze aesthetic; epitome of style over substance.

why are souvlaki fags obsessed with loveless
you never see a lovelessfag bitching about souvlaki

We'll have to agree to disagree. Even if Loveless can be considered as a case of "style over substance," it left a greater impression on me.

it really doesnt get better than loveless

One just did that here lol not to mention Loveless fags' sheer obsession with their album with a mighty claim about how others in shoegaze never came close to it said as an obvious fact.
Fair enough man its just personal taste

Their only good song

good opinion

Ride is so much better than Slowdive

Back in 2014 I was made fun of for listening to Slowdive and MBV lol

Im so desensitized that even the noisiest shoegaze sounds soothing to me. How anyone could be challenged by shoegaze still amazes me

Where my Kitchens of Distinction Bros at?

>Fast songs with a punk/power pop energy
>Highly inspired by The Chameleons, the best post-punk band
>Some of the most beautiful guitar sounds in Shoegaze
>Brilliant lyrics

That's a sign that this board used to be based.

based beyond belief

Strange, they're the only shoegaze band who sound shit to me.

Ride > MBV >>> Slowdive

You realize there's music for different moods right? Sometimes I need an album that'll slowly wash over and engulf me into its universe, which Souvlaki does perfectly. If I want something more driving and traditionally rock then Ride fits the bill. Loveless is a great mixture of the two.

Much more dream pop than shoegays
