Deathconsciousness – Have a Nice Life ★★★½
Year Album Artist Stars Score Genre 2008 Deathconsciousness Have a Nice Life ★★★½ 77 Rock Shoegaze Post Punk Deathconsciousness is an atmospheric, muddy, desperate feeling record that draws from the dark, post-punk sounds of Joy Division, the heavy, slowcore plodding of Low, the drawn-out post-rock creativity of Slint and the haunting noise-rock production of earlyContinue reading “Deathconsciousness – Have a Nice Life ★★★½”

Slowdive – Slowdive ★★★★
Year Album Artist Stars Score Genre 2017 Slowdive Slowdive ★★★★ 88 Rock Shoegaze Dream Pop You’ve gotta love it when a band makes their first album in 22 years and it ends up being their best.
