Alvvays - Blue Rev

Release Date: October 7th, 2022

I saw them open for The National, and i really really wanted to like this.

Review: but i don't find their music to be very catchy. When "Pharmacist" came out, i thought it was a nothing track, and now given the context of the album, it's still a nothing track. Maybe I expected it to be fun and singalong material, but overall, its just an hazy, shoegazey, noisy album. I'm not saying it's bad, but I just don't get why this album is getting so much praised. "Many Mirrors" is my favorite song .

SummaryWith all the praised, i went in thinking this would be bop after bop, but it's not. It's just a hazy, shoegazey mess, if you're into that sort of thing.

Favorite Songs: Many Mirrors, Belinda Says
Rating: 6/10
