Lazer Guided Melodies

Pretty chill. I imagine this would be pretty mesmerizing when high lol. I enjoyed this quite a bit. 3.5/5

Some nice atmospheric rock. I really enjoyed while listening to it, but absolutely nothing stuck with me once I was done.

This was the soundtrack to my summer in about 2001. 22 years later (!) and it takes me straight back to being high in some field somewhere. I know Spiritualized found success in love songs, but it's the longer sonic voyages that really stand out here. Just absolutely unlike anything that was around at the time (shoegaze? stoner rock? ambient?) and unlike anything since.

Sway slow. Stay low.

Background music, very loopy and repetitive, pleasant enough but not massively engaging.

What moron put this garbage on this list? I don't give a fiddler's fuck about this "shoegaze space rock" trash. 6 minute songs in which nothing happens except echoy boops beeps and zaps, with the odd song having reverb heavy moaned lyrics laid overtop. Fuck this garbage. Try being enthusiastic about the music you're making. My God I hate shoegaze. There's an hour of my life I'll never get back. The only song that had a hope in hell of being in any way good was Run (cover of Lynyrd Skynard's song Call Me the Breeze) but it was even awful.... Just less awful. The first half of the album was "better" than the last half simply because the songs averaged only around 3:30 - 4 minutes each, whereas the last half, they average 6 minutes plus each. No one needs 6 minutes of this horseshit. The album definately overstays its welcome at just over an hour of runtime.

Overall, this album is garbage. No redeeming qualities. Just utter trash.

Favourite songs: Run...i guess?!?

Least favourite songs: Symphony Space, Take Your Time, Shine a Light, Sway, 200 Bars, and the rest of this shitty album.

1/5

One day, someone will need to educate me on why Spiritualized are held in amazing regard. Can't shake the feeling that I might be missing something.

That felt proto-post rock, just with synthesizers. I quite liked it. Very chill

It took me three listens to get into the right mindset to enjoy it.

But when I got there, this ambient space rock was a great experience.

Super dreamy, atmospheric, spacey music. Very interesting. But not something I want to listen to often.

This gets a little too spacey for me. I fell asleep while listening to this... multiple times. I prefer the more raw vitality of Spacemen 3.

This is like if english pop and house had a baby. And then the Space Rock part happens. its pretty boring.

Chill, lush album. I definitely think Spiritualized got better after this but it's a really solid debut nonetheless.

Glorious, one of the best discoveries so far. Beautiful stuff

Cero interés en 2021 para mi gusto. Prescindible.
