why is this the only shoegaze album worth listening to ?
that's not even the best lush album
gala is the best lush album
>>64116354
Lush weren't good
That album is not shoegaze
>Disregarding all of Kinoko Teikoku's work, especially their earlier shit.
Okay
>>64116376
gala doesn't count
>>64116381
objectively wrong
>>64116388
they're ok I guess
they still don't have that perfect pop sound that lush got on split
so they're not worth listening to
>>64116410
aww fuck you!
>>64116381
/thread
>>64116493
sorry man
>>64116381
>lush weren't good
debatable
never made a good full album tbqh but had decent songs here and there
>not shoegaze
true

>>64116354
not sure why you think that
shoegaze is the only style of rock music at the same level of artistry as classical and jazz.
>>64116612
this is awful t b h
>>64117706
shoegaze is all the same annoying-reverb drenched creatively bankrupt bullshit. fuck you.
he gibs me dat is better.
>>64117748
shoegaze is the only style of rock that balances focus on accessible pop songwriting skill, experimental timbres, and emotional depth and complexity.
>>64117807
third wave ska does all of those things but better eff you
>>64117706
kek
>>64117807
>experimental timbres
??
Lush were Britpop you dummy
idk man but that album's really fucking great and i enjoying listening to it more than loveless and souvlaki.
i just want SONGS, you know?
epic bait
>>64117866
terrible argument
>>64117853
later in their career, yeah. not split.
lush are my favorite band but what the fuck is this
>>64117853
>i know nothing about shoegaze
>>64117853
>i know nothing
>>64117907
>>64117932
They were always Britpop. Stop trying to drag them down.
miki is qt
>>64117940
i know
>>64117949
objectively wrong.
please stop spreading ignorance.
>>64117949
when will this meme end?
>>64117956
this
It's not but best song is The Invisible Man.
>>64118023
>implying it's not when i die
when will you?
>>64116612
fuck you
>>64118063
no need to be rude man
that was uncalled for
>>64116354
because it's by the poppiest group. they didn't lie to themselves about making anything more than sweet-sounding pop songs, so they made the best songs instead of being pretentious.
>>64118126
poppiest at the time...
>>64116354
Uhhhh guise does that say Slint?????
>>64118149
even now they're one of the poppiest bands to be considered "shoegaze".
>>64117807
wrong but kind of an interesting thing to think about
>>64118168
split
>>64117807
what emotional depth, you fucking mong?
>>64118218
if you actually listened to music, you'd have heard it.
>>64118190
there's nothing wrong about what I said.
>>64117807
L O L

If Lush were such a good band, how come they haven't released an album in two decades?
>>64118089
ocean
>>64118247
their drummer hung himself
>>64118255
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN????
>>64118255
>>64118283
it's like a body of water
>>64118264
So what? Just get another one.
>>64118247
they didn't feel like it or something
>>64118302
i guess by now they did
Wait so did they release a whole new EP or just a single?
>>64116354
*dream pop
>>64118348
They have a new EP out.
>>64118390
Siiiick.
Love seeing these classic band reunite.
>>64118410
me too
we need more material from the more short-lived bands of that scene.
10/10 thread bros
>>64118433
I agree completely
>>64118438
I agree completely
just listened to this.
i really liked it.
their jangly sound is way better than that sadsack reverbcore trash gaze is known for.
where do I go next?
>>64118438
...
its just shitty britpop
what next are you going to say ride is shoegaze?
>>64116354
i only really listen to them when im horny

spooky is better
>>64118595
this guy knows what's up
>>64116354
it's not.
no shoegaze is worth listening to
>>64118643
your shitpost isn't worth reading
Huh, didn't know /mu/ even knew who lush is.
>>64118658
>>64118668
The only people who actually like shoegaze are the fags where it's all they listen to
People with good music taste hate that gay shit
Still have to listen to Gala and Topolino but I got the Origami box set and so far
Spooky > Split >>> Lovelife
I suspect Gala's gonna be better than Split as well. Honestly, I didn't think much of Split until The Invisible Man kicked in. Might grow on me with more listens. Spooky was great all the way through, though.
>>64118718
Found the shoegaylord
>>64118716
You should like Gala. It's kind of a mixed bag of their "noisy" and dreamy shit.
spooky is pretty psychedelic i gotta say
>>64118716
The Invisible Man's the only song I like off of it.
>>64118753
>"noisy" and dreamy
Hype.
>>64117807
this is all right honestly
>>64118806
Don't get misled to think it's gonna be some MBV type stuff though. I put noisy in quotes cause it's only really noisy by Lush standards, which isn't that noisy, but still kinda noisy.
>>64118781
psychedelic is the worst musical buzzword ever
which lush album best complements the feeling of that sweet, sweet MARIJUANA highh??
so does /mu/ like lush or something?
i'm seeing them live on 4/20
>>64118920
i like kush
>>64118921
jealous tb h
>>64118921
sweet, have fun, post how they are live on /shugazi/ after too.
>>64118868
I can see that. Spooky never got all that loud. It really just seemed like a more energetic take on early Cocteau Twins or something. I could see it playing nice with Head Over Heels, perhaps even Garlands.
>>64118921
please don't ruin your life with weed you have a lot to live for
>>64118960
I've yet to check out those CT releases. Are both of those from their earlier goth sound?
>>64118973
No he fucking doesn't.
>>64119007
you don't know that
be positive
>>64118920
New EP came out yesterday and there was a box set for RSD.
>>64119014
in positively HIGH
Split sucked desu. Least favorite out of the essential five (Loveless, Souvlaki, Nowhere, Chapterhouse, Split)
>>64119021
didn't know there was a box set. hopefully there's worthwhile unreleased material there too
>>64119005
I'd say they're the albums that are firmly rooted in that sound. Garlands is pretty damn close to the likes of The Cure's Pornography whereas Head Over Heels is kind of inbetween that bleak goth sound and what they'd eventually become on Treasure.
>>64119046
It's just their 3 albums and 2 compilations, nothing that didn't already exist. I think it's more a thing for people like me who had never checked out Lush before now that they're back together again.
>>64119134
damn
piracy has always been working for me but I guess it's a cool collectors item for gaze enthusiasts.
>>64119094
Sounds cool, I love Pornography, I gotta check these out.
>>64119478
>I love Pornography
lol
Why is Split always the most recommended? Spooky and Gala are much much much better.
>>64119478
You should. Garlands can be hit or miss since it's admittedly a one-trick pony but it's good if you like that one trick. Head Over Heels isn't a favorite of mine as I feel it's a "growing pains" album personally but I won't deny that it displays growth and diversity compared to Garlands. Sugar Hiccup in particular foreshadows the band's future style quite well.
>>64119560
They seem like a band i'd wanna notice how they grow and change with each release.
>>64119040
I can't stand Chapterhouse aside from Autosleeper.
every shoegaze album is worth listening to, actually.
>>64119642
not split.
>>64119658
ESPECIALLY Split.
>>64119642
better than what OP said still wrong
what would they even do live? stare at their shoes?
>>64119752
I assume they'd put on a show and play some music.
>>64119752
well of course
>>64119804
but would they be gazing at anything?
>>64120023
you're living on it
lush is bro-gaze
>>64120308
more like you get no lays
as in you don't get laid
>>64120308
>bro
Maybe whatever the female equivalent of that is, but you don't attain bro status with songs like Ladykillers.
>>64119533
No fucking clue.
Actually they're all kind of recommended equally, but both of those are miles ahead of Split.
>>64120388
I hear Split posted and mentioned way more though.
filipinos are some of the more creative races in the world
>>64120451
what are those?
>>64120364
sis?
idk if people actually say that though
>>64119630
I liked the first few tracks but the rest were kind of bland. Nowhere is similar too. Seagull was 10/10 but the rest was meh
>>64120489
i think they're called cunts
>>64120418
I think I did download Spooky and Split years back in a sharethread but started with Split because it was more recommended. Back then, it kinda put me to sleep and I didn't bother with Spooky until, well, today. I think I like Split more than I did back when I first listened to it but fuck man, Spooky blows it out of the water. Wish I hadn't slept on it this long.
>>64120501
Decay is probably my fav track off Nowhere. Also the title track but that's a bonus track.
>>64120505
Cuntgaze wouldn't sound too bad for Lovelife. Spooky and Split, that might be a bit harsh.
>>64120526
For real.
Lush fans need to start pushing Gala or Spooky.
>>64120580
>Cuntgaze
what does that mean?
>>64120620
when you gaze into a cunt
>>64120580
Lovelife lacks gaze though.
the britpoppy shoegaze is legitimately the best style ever.
fuck all that mbv shit.
>>64120620
Well
>>64120308
said bro-gaze, I mentioned it would be more of a female equivalent, and
>>64120505
suggested cunts. I'm just kinda working with what I'm given. Also, I don't care much for its musical direction but lyrically Lovelife is pretty fucking jaded.
>>64120676
Fair point.
>>64119034
please no
>>64120676
Lovelife is just cuntpop then.
>>64117807
Shoegaze is literally pop songs drowned in reverb and distorted guitar
That said I love it
>>64120775
I'd lovelife if I got to cuntpop miki or emma nahmean
>>64120775
I'd lovelife if I got to cuntpop miki or emma nahmean
>>64120795
I don't know who would disagree with this.
>>64120805
>>64120825
woah what the fuck
I wonder what Miki's first sexual experience was like.
>>64118089
GOD DAMN YOU HALF JAPANESE GIRLS
every time i even think about lush i just wanna bust a nut
>>64120795
Gaze guitarists need to cool it on the reverb. Reverb on the vocals+HEAVILY distorted guitar is the way to go.
>>64120742
HAHA FUCK YOUU
>>64120935
that song was prob written about them
weezer toured with lush
>>64121016
Reverb the everything, even the reverb. Especially the reverb. There is no such thing as too much reverb.
>>64121173
desu
I don't get it. Does /mu/ like Lush now? I don't really want you guys to.
My band's gonna cover a Lush song, help me choose which one.
>>64122107
choose a shitty one like lovelife and make it good
>>64122141
Don't talk shit about lovelife.
>>64121969
they were my favorite band 4 years ago
dont really listen much anymore but i was fucking in love with their music at one point and them and mbv were virtually the only things i listened to for a while.
>>64122107
starlust
monochrome
deluxe
thoughtforms
etheriel
>>64122183
Good taste lad.
>>64122141
>lovelife
>shitty
nonononon
>>64122183
>monochrome
yo this
it's great
>>64122377
It's also the only Lush song I really remember.
>>64121136
>tfw rivers cuomo met and wrote a song about my waifu
>rivers fucking cuomo
fuck weezer
>>64122826
it's not too late
>>64122838
idk man she's not really that hot anymore
>>64122866
I'd still fugg
>>64116354
cause it blows pretty much every rock album ever out of the water aside from tago mago and pop tatari
>>64122907
weird top three desu
>>64122907
tago mago is my favorite album ever
pop tatari is overrated
split is cool i guess
cranes were better
>>64122945
I'll have to agree with this guy.
>>64122945
>>64122957
literally who
Also rec me an album to start with them
their most ethereal pls
>>64122981
cranes
just go with forever
>>64123021
aight
So does anyone have a link to Split?
>>64123080
Just get soulseek.
You'll have every album at your fingertips.
>>64122866
Still a half-japanese goddess.
>>64123131
waifufags are weird
>>64123080
archive
>>64117760
they didn't include my fucking track
>>64122945
>>64123021
These vocals are fucking terrible what the hell
>>64118247
Their drummer hung himself.
Same for MBV and Slowdive. 20 years
>>64120388
They're not and Gala is a compilation of old 7s and stuff. It's not an actual album.
That's like " Why is Outkast's greatest hits not recommended more than Aquemoni and Stankonia??"
>>64123194
Well I don't think MBV and Slowdive's drummers hung themselves.
>>64123080
It's on like every torrent site. Streaming sites.
>>64123217
For the record, Aquemini > Stankonia
>>64123223
That was clearly a separate response to the 20 years comment. Hence the giant space between the answers.
You should hang yourself though. You're clearly a fucking cunt retard
>>64123253
Definitely. Just using them as an example
>>64123257
Don't encourage suicide you piece of shit
>>64123257
Woah
>>64123194
If MBV and Slowdive are so good, why haven't they released anything in 20 years?
>>64116354
Light from a Dead Star, Desire Lines and Kiss Chase are the only good songs though
>>64116608
Not true. Split and Spooky are both good full albums.
Their only non-shegaze release is their final album, which was britpop. By that logic Ride aren't a shoegaze band.
>>64117853
On one album.
>>64123305
You're missing those other ones.
>>64123326
>Ride aren't a shoegaze band.
You know people here actually believe Ride isn't a shoegaze band.
>>64123346
Which ones?
>>64123387
The rest of them.
>>64119040
Split doesn't suck.
How is Chapterhouse an "essential five?" Also, that's not even a thing.
There's a very well-established Big Four of shoegaze: MBV, Ride, Slowdive, Lush.
They all were active in similar periods, broke up or ended similarly, and have reunited roughly around the same time and toured. British. They stand out for this.
Chapterhouse is essential shoegaze but they aren't a big four band or anything. A 5th "big" band could be argued over endlessly with so many options
They're probably the 5th biggest outside of the main 4, but Chapterhouse in the past and recently never got anywhere near the amount of press the other 4 did (or numerous festival appearances recently)
>>64119134
No, it's not a thing for "new people like you cuz they're back together."
They're vinyl albums that haven;t been pressed in over 20 years and are not widely available. Do you understand how vinyl pressings work? Do you understand record collection culture?
>>64123295
Their drummers were well hung.
Same for Lush and Ride. 20 years
>>64120451
What is this even a response to?
Nobody in Lush is Filipino. Miki is half-Japanese.
Filipinos fucking suck. They're like mexican asians.
>>64121136
They didn't. And it was probably about Rivers going to Harvard where there's tons of asian girls
>>64122945
Absolute nobodies that nobody cares about at all and have gotten no media attention ever. Nice try.
>>64123271
HANG URSELF 2 M8
>>64123475
>Absolute nobodies that nobody cares about at all and have gotten no media attention ever. Nice try.
Since when did /mu/ ever care about popularity or relevance?
>>64123295
.....are you new to music? Been in prison?
MBV released a new album in 2013, their first in like 22 years. It was relentlessly circle jerked everywhere and was in the news the entire year.
Slowdive are releasing one this year
>>64123503
>Slowdive are releasing one this year
#hype
>>64123503
>Been in prison?
maybe
>>64123534
/mu/ needs to like slowdive more though
>>64123642
/mu/ needs to like shoegaze more though
>>64123653
/mu/ does recognize shoegaze. We just don't talk about it much since it's shit.
>>64123698
pleb
>>64123698
kys
>>64123698
Have you listened to Split by Lush?
It's pretty good.
>>64123503
mbv > loveless
>>64123459
oh ok whew
>>64123653
the world needs to like shoegaze more.
Are Lush planning to make a full length?
Or was that EP a one-off type thing?
>>64116354
It's this actually fuc u
>>64123824
I hope they change their sound up if they do make a full length. I wanna see them evolve at least somewhat.
It they're only gonna sound like their classic shit, it's just an obvious cash grab.
>>64123863
I don't think they're going to make a full length.
>>64123841
is that some sort of children's book cover or something
>>64124006
Nah, it's a children's music cover.
>>64124043
No one listen to this cunt, that album is wonderful.
>>64124043
fuck you desu
>>64124006
>>64124043
They're legit the only meal artist that isn't for children.
>>64120892
probably rape
>>64124090
this, girls don't dye their hair for that long for nothing.
>>64123841
It's not.
Good covers though.
>>64123534
Man, how are they gonna move on from Pygmalion?
>>64123405
I've never heard of an essential four.
Hasn't it always been MBV, Slowdive, then Ride?
>>64124137
I have faith that it's going to be good.
>>64124162
pygmalion's a pretty hard album to top.
idk how they'll evolve from that without disappointing someone.
Shoegaze died in the 90s for a reason.
>>64124206
I stopped reading at reason.
>>64124069
Nadja is one of the most trite, trash metal bands i've ever listened to
they're exactly metal for children, who feel like metal is too edgy and harsh so they have to listen muh mature inoffensive drone meal with trash songwriting that doesn't challenge the listener
imo nu gaze bands are sonically better and more interesting than the original ones
