If you’ve been a record collector for any notable length of time, you’ll probably have a few albums in your collection of — well — questionable quality. I’m not talking about ones that are guilty pleasures, or ones that are a little embarrassing to admit you have in your collection. (Though I’m sure those exist as well, but that’s a subject for a future list…) I’m also not talking about ones where it’s just a flat out shity pressing. The terrible condition I’m talking about: the records that are truly beat to hell.

Ride 4 EPs Vinyl Cover

Ride | 4 EPs | Vinyl Unboxing

I can’t think of shoegaze as a sub-genre without thinking of three instrumental bands in its original late 80s early 90s heyday: My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and this band: Ride. All three made a resurgence in the 2010s, releasing new music and reissuing old. The latest to resurface is this, Ride’s simply titled 4 EPs.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart gave us their debut, self-titled LP in 2009. The band created this interesting blend of indie pop with hints of shoegaze and even emo.

Saint Etienne Good Humor 25th Anniversary Vinyl

Saint Etienne | Good Humor | 25th Anniversary Splatter Vinyl Unboxing & Album Review

Today I’m taking a look at Saint Etienne’s fourth studio album, Good Humor, which was released in 1998. Known for their blend of indie pop, dance, and electronic music, the band had already released three successful albums prior to Good Humor, including Foxbase Alpha (1991), So Tough (1993), and Tiger Bay (1994).

Mercury Rev Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev | Deserter’s Songs | Album Review

For those not in the know, Mercury Rev is an American indie rock band that formed in Buffalo, New York, in 1989. Their fourth album, Deserter’s Songs, released in 1998, is considered their breakthrough album and has become a classic in more modern indie rock. The album features lush orchestration, soaring vocals, and haunting melodies that remind me a bit of a mesh between The Flaming Lips and The Polyphonic Spree, the latter of which formed a few years after the release of this album.
