I had never heard of the shoegazing genre before, and after I looked it up I performed my traditional album blog eye roll. Apparently, the term was coined by the British press to describe the stage presence of the artists in these groups. I guess they would perform in a detached way and stare at their shoes the whole time. This really gets creepier the more I think about it, but I do watch more than my share of horror movies.
Anyway, I was prepared to not like this but strangely enough, I was kind of into it. It felt youthful in a charming way, and there was enough variety between the tracks to keep it from getting stale.
Not my favorite by any means, but not as bad as I was expecting. The key to this List is low expectations!
RATING: 3/5
