They had the opportunity to become one of the first important shoegaze acts of the 21st century, but they ruined it with mediocre dream-pop. I'm genuinely pissed off.

But they were always dream-pop, anon
You're acting like Sparks was anything special. People only highlighted it because it was slightly novel to hear BH playing shoegaze. Compared to what the genre has to offer, it's an average song.
Elegy to the Void is by far the best song from this set of albums, whatever genre it is

They've been playing great dream pop for more than ten years. Get over it.

Seriously can we talk about how fucking good the B side of Thank Your Lucky Stars is?

When did they ever make shoegaze?
>>59654564
literally just finished it rn and got damn

I need another few listens with Elegy, it just hit me as very weird and unexpected, but the other three on side B are astonishing
>>59653987
They have never played shoegaze, ever. If you want shoegaze go listen to something else.
Dont criticize bands that arent shoegaze for not being shoegaze. It's retarded.

Coldplay is more shoegaze than Beach House

i hate the whole attitude that each album has to be different to the last. oh no, they're repeating themselves, why aren't they doing different things each time?
why should they?
and then the stuff that /mu/ wets itself about is just the stuff that sounds more like mbv
beach house make really nice music of a specific type, and i hope they continue making it.

somewhere tonight is really good. i love her singing on it, actual proper beautiful singing and not just husky murmuring
>>59654564
Shit. I also like Majorette and One Thing now that the official versions have been posted. I imagine All Your Yeahs sounds great too. Definitely better than Depression Cherry in my opinion.
This was a good album imho
