Really good pop/shoegaze music with an eerie, glitchy atmosphere

I can't be the only person on the site who has heard this album who doesn't dickride it constantly.

>>39995293
Yeah, I guess. I just don't really like electronic shoegaze at all. I've always attributed shoegaze to the use of guitars, so it never made sense to me.

this album is amazing, besides the first track

That album isn't actually similar to britpop. Ride's later albums are full-on britpop, tho.

just because it has some reverb on like 3 tracks doesn't make it a shoegaze album, fuckboy

People don't hate them because they're bad, it's because they just sound like a MBV demo. They are a blatant rip-off of MBV's sound. At least the other nu-gaze bands have some authenticity in their sound.
