“Two years ago, Teen Dream felt like such a complete realization of Beach House's potential that it had to make you wonder where they could possibly go from there. By just about every measure, the Baltimore duo's fourth album is stronger than anything they've done before.”

“**💭 Thoughts:** Two years after the release of *Teen Dream*, Beach House released *Bloom*, their fourth album where they continue using their mesmerizing and hypnotic signature sound. It’s a very immersive and atmospheric listen, however the only issue for me is that most of the tracks don’t leave a strong enough impression individually to be able to distinguish them easily, but that isn’t that big of a problem. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Myth 🔵🥉 2.) Wild 🟢 3.) Lazuli 🔵🥇 4.) Other People 🔵🥈 5.) The Hours 🔵 6.) Troublemaker 🔵 7.) New Year 🟢 8.) Wishes 🔵 9.) On the Sea 🟢 10.) Irene 🟢 ──────────────────── **🤔 Track Rating Scale** 🔵 Loved — Thoroughly enjoyed it and will revisit often. 🟢 Liked — Enjoyed it, but it’s not one I’d revisit often. 🟡 Mixed — Enjoyed it somewhat, but some aspects held it back for me; most likely won’t revisit. 🟠 Disliked — Didn’t enjoy it very much; won’t be revisiting. 🔴 Hated — Didn’t enjoy any part of it; no desire to revisit ever again. ⚪️ Interlude, etc. — Not rated as an actual song. ──────────────────── **🏅 Ranking Scale** 10 — Perfect 9 — Exceptional 8 — Great 7 — Good 6 — Decent 5 — Average 4 — Below Average 3 — Poor 2 — Bad 1 — Awful 0 — Unlistenable”

Teen Dream (Bonus Track Version)

“**💭 Thoughts:** Beach House’s 2010 LP *Teen Dream* is one of the most highly acclaimed albums in dream pop. I personally prefer *Bloom* as my favorite Beach House album, which was released two years later. While *Teen Dream* is excellent in its own right, I find *Bloom* to be a stronger and more memorable listen. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Zebra 🟢 2.) Silver Soul 🔵🥇 3.) Norway 🔵 4.) Walk In the Park 🔵 5.) Used to Be 🟡 6.) Lover of Mine 🔵 7.) Better Times 🟢 8.) 10 Mile Stereo 🔵🥉 9.) Real Love 🟡 10.) Take Care 🔵🥈 11.) Norway (Single Version) 🔵 12.)

Depression Cherry

7.4

“**💭 Thoughts:** Beach House’s 2015 LP *Depression Cherry* has the duo continuing to utilize their atmospheric and deeply emotional sound. This doesn’t really feel like anything new, and most of the tracklist doesn’t live up to the memorability of *Teen Dream* or *Bloom*. However, the tracklist is still good and very consistent. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Levitation 🟡 2.) Sparks 🟡 3.) Space Song 🔵🥇 4.) Beyond Love 🟢 5.) 10:37 🟢 6.) PPP 🔵🥈 7.) Wildflower 🔵🥉 8.) Bluebird 🟢 9.) Days of Candy 🔵 ──────────────────── **🤔 Track Rating Scale** 🔵 Loved — Thoroughly enjoyed it and will revisit often. 🟢 Liked — Enjoyed it, but it’s not one I’d revisit often. 🟡 Mixed — Enjoyed it somewhat, but some aspects held it back for me; most likely won’t revisit. 🟠 Disliked — Didn’t enjoy it very much; won’t be revisiting. 🔴 Hated — Didn’t enjoy any part of it; no desire to revisit ever again. ⚪️ Interlude, etc. — Not rated as an actual song. ──────────────────── **🏅 Ranking Scale** 10 — Perfect 9 — Exceptional 8 — Great 7 — Good 6 — Decent 5 — Average 4 — Below Average 3 — Poor 2 — Bad 1 — Awful 0 — Unlistenable”
