Melt, by Straitjacket Fits

Melt

by Straitjacket Fits

supported by

Brian Worthing One of the greatest albums in rock history. It plays like a greatest hits compilation because the songs were so good. Carter and Brough were truly the Lennon/McCartney of the late 80s/early 90s. The lyrics, songs, singing, playing…everything is perfect. Every song is great. I’ve bought this album multiple times because I feel it deserves it. I’ve heard probably tens of thousands of albums in my lifetime and this is in my top ten. Masterpiece. Favorite track: Down In Splendour.

I've been enjoying the Bats since Daddy's Highway. They keep doing what they do and I keep enjoying what they do. What else can I say? Bat's entertainment? tideracer

everything is alive
by Slowdive

supported by 20 fans who also own “Melt”

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
