Teen Dream

nije za mene, al fora, na trenutke baš lijepo :)

A good album that I wouldn't normally listen to. That's a three star rating, baby

I didn't hate it, but it made me feel very very sleepy. 2.5

Loved it! The really focus in on a particular style that really works for them and they're a pleasure to listen to.

Maybe the second half wasn't as great as the first.

Loved it! Dreampop, ethereal. Great as background music, or active listening. It's versatile

Kind of a drone but in a good way.

I'm sure this is well done for what it is, but I really can't stand this style music.

this was monotonous

Nice enough

Teen Dream by Beach House completely passed me by back in 2010—I’d never heard of the band or the album until now.

Given the glowing reviews, I was expecting something truly special. But honestly, this one just didn’t land for me. I understand that it was seen as a fresh alternative to indie and pop at the time, but to my ears, it feels middle of the road. Nothing stood out, nothing stuck with me, and overall, I found it quite dull. It lacks the energy and inventiveness of similar-era acts like MGMT.

Favourite tracks: “Real Love” and “Silver Soul” were okay.
Least favourite tracks: Most of the album, unfortunately. It just feels very mediocre.
Album artwork: Not much to say—uninspiring.

Airey upbeat and ambient dreamy indie made for chilled out coffee shop background music playlists - pleasantly woozy and unobtrusive, pretty, light, lush with energy from the bass, style from the synths, and heartfelt earnestness from the vocals - but ultimately kind of boring empty purely mood music.

Atmospheric and so beautiful

Playing Tame Impala music before Tame Impala was Tame Impala...

Not a bad listen, though some of it was pretty boring/wallpaper (and not in a fun, ambient way). Not offensive, just not a standout indie album. 3/5

Great album to play in a room down the hall while you take a nap on the living room couch.

First one on this list where i hadn’t heard of the band … didn’t do much for me and not sure why it’s here.

I never was into them because they felt really smug about their schtick. Listening to it now I've mellowed out and this sounds a bit more up my alley. It still gets a bit repetitive and dull but not as bad as I remember.

Perfection!
I could literally sleep to this, coincidentally, I have many times!

This is a record that I can't really imagine anyone having a strong reaction to one way or the other. It's so aggressively bland. Like dry white toast - you might not want to eat it but if that's all there is, it'll be fine yet unmemorable. I can't really pick out anything to comment on, it's all just...fine. Vocals? It's got them. Drums? Yep. Guitars and bass? Sure. Synths? A lot. But like, none of it stands out at all. Honestly I don't get why it has such high ratings. I guess because it is put together well and isn't offensive in any way? I don't know, it just seems too safe to me. 2.5/5 but I guess I'll round up because I've heard worse albums?

Don't got a ton to say about it. 10 years ago might have been a 4, but not really looking for this kinda indie rock right now, personally.
