Followup from shoegaze second-wavers Ride, this has all of the big heaping guitars that you'd expect from the style, delivered in a highly accessible package. There's plenty of hooks and melodies, sounding more like later acts like Silversun Pickups, Kulashaker and Swervedriver than the noisy crush of My Bloody Valentine.
Some works better than others: the pop bounce of Twisterella and Mouse Trap have good driving energy, the gloomy New Order moaning of Chrome Waves, not so much.
It all sounds a bit samey by the end, but I guess that goes with the territory when you're playing ever note at once 3.5/5
