Listen: • Beach Fossils - Saint ...
4 years after Beach Fossils' great sophomore album Clash the Truth, the Brooklyn band has returned with their most lavish effort yet. I can still commend the band for not shamelessly trend-chasing like many of their dreamy, jangly contemporaries, but unfortunately the pastiche of '60s pop sounds they serve up here isn't enough to distract from some pretty bland songwriting.

One time I was walking on a beach when a bright light struck my eyes. I knew that no material created by sediment could capture light to that degree so I knew that a material alien to this ecosystem had washed up on the shore. Thinking I had found treasures beyond my comprehension, I instead found a melon with bright pearly white teeth asking me if he wanted to hear his review of the piss in the ocean.

@user-uv8ku8mf2h 7 жыл бұрын

Loooooove beach fossils 😫 I like that they seem to be ahead of everyone else in the same genre and I love that each album has a different influence. it changes the feel and mood slightly which makes all their songs different and fresh!

4 years after The Needle Drop posted this review, I've watched it. I will say I LOVE this album. I actually hadn't heard it until this past month but finally checked it out and was pleasantly surprised by this new direction. I really dig the more melodic, more instrumentally diverse style. They used to be a band for whom I couldn't really make out half the lyrics, and I didn't care because I just enjoyed their music and sound a lot. On this one, I enjoy their sound AND I can actually understand the lyrics, and they're good, I enjoy singing along to them. I'd give Somersault a solid 8/10.

@elinag5743 7 жыл бұрын

I respect your opinion. For me I can't really rate music in an objective sense. If I put an album on and it's perfect for my mood but the composition is recognizably crappy, 9, or it doesn't feel right for that moment but it's beautifully structured, 5. As time goes on I change taste-wise. Some albums like Beach House's Depression Cherry sounded weird but got better each listen. With DIIV's Is The Is Are, for a while I thought it was the best thing ever, then went back to Oshin and enjoyed it more. The experience is never static.

see, i really like beach fossils. their style was nearly unique with the way Payseur sounded, and their actual production value in the clash the truth album. but, somersault was way over produced imo. it makes me a little uneasy listening to it, then listening to a clash the truth song, the departure from rock music is obvious. whatever though idc more beach fossil i likey

Just watched your video on Spiritual State. I agree with you on some things like how in comparison to the other albums this one isn't as great. Good, but not in comparison to the other albums that were made, it seemed "off". In the end, you stated your opinion and I didn't agree completely, but I respected it. Would you make a review for another one of his albums like Metaphorical Music?
