So, who did it best?
So, who did it best?
MBV obviously.
the new Ride is a (sad) joke
MBV - 8.5/10
Slowdive - 8/10
Ride - 6.5/10
Slowdive definitely, and this is coming from someone who never even really liked Slowdive.
Slowdive > m b v > Weather Diaries

I was never a huge Slowdive guy either but the new album got me glancing back at their old stuff a bit.
slowdive
Why don't like the new Ride?
The 6 range isn't bad, you know. I do like the first 4 songs and the closer quite a bit but my interest definitely wanes in and out in the middle of the album. I see some love for Rocket Silver Symphony and Cali but I dunno, I'm not super into them.
Slowdive is slightly better than mbv. New Ride, whatever the fuck it's called, is shite.
...
literal buttgaze.
Burger -gaze.
Slowdive>MBV>Ride
Ride's new album is still super nice though and atmospheric
MBV came out with a solid yet inferior record compared to their earlier stuff. It is still extremely unique and original. Slowdive came out with a generic shoegaze trash album that sounds like a generic indie band/ coldplay. Also it sounds like it was produced by a corporate producer
Ride - why the fuck would I listen to a new ride album?
Can't stand how good this is
Can't stand how shit this is
mbv- the only shoegaze album...and even then,it doesnt accomplish that much instead of livong with 3 tracks of nostalgia
slowdive- more of a dream pop or post punk album...with Daydreaming included as the closer
weather diaries-I dont get the hate t b h.....that album has a diverse variety of influences(space rock in the title track and Rocket Silver Symphony(Spiritualized anyone?),krautrock in Lannoy Point,progressive rock in two tracks,surf rock,dream pop and britpop)
if you are looking at it as shoegaze release,then it's normal to see it as a disappointment
