Beach House - Teen Dream
Reviewed by yewknee
Everyone ranted and raved about this album so much I was convinced I was not going to like it before even cracking into it. I hadn't heard previous releases and whenever an album gets the amount of hype this has gotten I am almost always confused where the excitement has stemmed from. I will admit to being wrong in this particular case; Teen Dream is a solid record. I think it's a bit of the same sound throughout the record - very similar tempos, sounds and pace for every song. However, that sound is an enjoyable one; atmospheric, forelorn, a bit melancholy and perfectly engaging. [www.myspace.com]
