I want to care for someone the way this band cares for me.

You know the record company is pretty cool when THEY are the one's uploading the album to youtube! Awesome stuff.

Just a foolish game that you hide behind? Don't forget the nights when it all felt right Are you not the same as you used to be? Used to be Used to be In an endless night Could you feel the fright of an age that was and could never be? So we hold it close when we feel the most Like a love that we could not leave behind Turn the wheel to each way we feel 'Til I'm lost and I cannot find you there Don't forget the nights when it all felt right Are you not the same as you used to be?

I used to think Depression Cherry was my favourite album from Beach House when it was released. However as time goes on I remember how special Teen Dream was to me ten years ago as a confused outcast in high school. It still holds up when I listen to it today - timeless - and I truly believe that this is their masterpiece.

Every single track on this is equally as memorable and amazing. Such a good album. Minimalist enough to have on in the background, yet full of substance if you listen intently.

This whole album is just incredible. Who's still listening in 2020?

I'm turning 20 today and in celebration of that I'm listening to this album for the first time.

Haven't heard this album in 10+ years, definitely over-played it back then and had to take a break. The flood of amazing memories it brings back is pure magic. Thank you!!! 🖤💙

I can still vividly remember the first time I heard this album. October 2010: a windy autumn afternoon, walking through the falling leaves, with Teen Dream on my headphones. By the time the last fading notes of "Take Care" echoed in my ears, my heart soared.

This album is completely magical. It never gets old.

This really was the teen dream. I listened to this album throughout my teens. I'm 25 now. Man does time fly

Silver Soul is such a masterpiece omg 😭😭

teen dream is their best album, one of the better albums ever imo

I've been obsessed with this album since the day it came out. 11 years go by fast..

"Used to be" is such an beautiful song, i mean the whole album is great, but that song ... man that song ...

her voice is haunting yet beautiful. i don't know what she sings about half the time but she plucks my heart strings with eagle talons every time i hear her voice. sonic mermaid.

Today, November 16th, 2020, the day I listened to this album from start to finish for the 1st time. I leave this comment as proof of that. I hope to come back 10 years later, if not, it'll mean I'm dead.

I think silver soul is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard

This band means so much to me. It's not just their perfect music but the way I always felt like I was somehow connected to every single song. This album is like the soundtrack of my entire youth. I come back to it every time. When I'm happy and greatful but specially when I feel sad, because it reminds me how wonderful life can be and makes me remember everything I've been through, how much I've loved, how hurt have I been and all there is to come. Wow. I can't find the words to describe how I feel right now, the immense happiness and the immense pain. I have to thank the universe for letting me experience beauty.

One of my favorite albums in history by far

Heartbreaker of an album. It could've been the soundtrack to a tragic indie drama.

The greatest record that Beach House has made. A near masterpiece.

I remember being very depressed and listening to this album a lot when I was a teenager Maybe not so good times, but beautiful album. Definitely got me through some times.

Slowly becoming my favourite album of theirs. Every song is better than the last, and gets better and better every time I hear it. I'm in love!

I can't express how much I love this band

Saw them in Charlottesville, VA in May 2012. It was the best 20 bucks I ever spent in my life.

Hey young peeps, check out Cocteau Twins' albums 'Heaven or Las Vegas' and 'Four-Calendar Cafe' if you like this sound.

This is random but I’m not a native English speaker and beach house and Radiohead are both bands in which I can never distinguish what they’re saying. Anyway, Victoria’s voice calms so it’s okay

Lover Of Mine is such a masterpiece of a song

I get that unusual healing vibes from beach house songs. I love them!! 😭

banger after banger, being sample for one of the most inconics songs of Kendrick Lamar, making a big impact not only for 2010s music but also dream pop, this is not only the best Beach House album, is a big classic

I saw them at the Madonna Inn a couple years ago and they played Real Love as an encore and I cried. Such a beautiful night and such a beautiful record. I'll always hold this one dearest to me.

Every breakup seems to find music that helps sort through the experience, this record does very nicely.

I've liked bloom for a while now but this is my first time checking out Teen Dream. All I can say is wow. Beach House never disappoints.

i always teared up when i listen to this album

I just turned 20 today, and this album sums up my teenage years, like a teen dream

I got into beach house about a month ago, and they are now definitely one of my favorite bands.

"We stood so long we fell" just amazing,this album is EVERYTHING

Beach House is one of my favorite bands, or duos ever, their music makes me feel nostalgic, sad, VIctoria´s voice is one of my favorite too

I've just graduated from highschool a few months ago, but now looking back at the past few years, it feels like it was all only a dream.

"Zebra" hits me in the sad spots, man!

This is the best album for seasonal depression.

Depression cherry crushed my soul, idk if I can go through that with every album😫 this band is so unbelievably good

Real Love is one of the most BEAUTIFUL songs I have ever heard. When I first heard this album my favorite was definitely Take Care but after listening over and over again I think Real Love takes the cake. It's beautiful, haunting, dreamy, PERFECT

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I'll never forget when I first heard "Zebra" on the radio in 2010, I was completely enraptured by its epic beauty. I didn't expect the rest of the album to hold up quite as well as its amazing opener, but my misgivings were very much unfounded. Beach House is a special band, and Teen Dream will always hold a special place in my heart.

I have never listened to this album before. What a beautiful sound. Go Beach House.

how...how is every Beach House album an abSOLUTE PERFECTION?!

I needed this album to survive the pandemic

El mejor álbum de Beach House. Impecable de punta a punta. Tremendas melodías, entre melancólicas y conmovedoras. Una obra de arte *

So late to the crowd but this album is near perfect. The consistency between tracks is so well played; their use of tambourine and maraca loops. Really subtle percussion and Victoria's voice is one of the most soothing sounds... beautiful.

Walk in the Park. "The face that you saw in the door / isn't looking at you anymore / the name that you call in its place / isn't waiting for your embrace..." This was the first Beach House song I heard, introduced to me by one of my friends. That lyric made me cry when I first heard Walk in the Park - sometimes it still makes me choked up. Truly beautiful music that these two can pump out in such vast quantities.

Just discovered this album, better late than never!

2022 and "Just found this!".....favorite album at the moment😍

this album is like a big warm hug for me

I love this group. I can't believe I only just discovered them.

Seriously one of the all-time great dream pop albums.

Beach House always goes right into my "Feels" playlist. One part slightly-painful melancholic nostalgia, one part happy, optimistic contentment. In a word: Life. Love it

This might be the best album of all time

This album is basically perfect. Soooo good

I can't even pit into words how much I LOVE this album, its so fucking perfect, EVERY SINGLE song 😩

4 anos que escuto esse álbum e cada vez parece melhor e melhor e melhor. Músicas atemporais e eternas pra mim. Voltem ao Brasil, por favor!!!

13 years ago this album was released! Amazing that it's aged like fine wine. Looking forward to the BH small installation tour in 2023! 🙏

this has to be my favourite album from beach house. it has so many good memories, and even in bad living conditions, it somehow made the atmosphere and the afternoon light feel so much warmer. used to help my sick dad go to sleep and im grateful for beach house

My favourite album ever. Struck something deep inside the first time I heard it and after so many listens still feel that way. Hard to describe but musically it is the perfect dream pop album and just has such an emotional weight to it.

This album is an essential part of every winter for me.

I never want Take Care to end, ever.

I put this album in my playllist called "Albums that saved my live" :D

Beach House is a mood

i love this album so much. i could listen to it forever.

beach house is one of those bands that you discover and it becomes a huge part of your life

My first listen to Beach House. Can't stop!!

Always come back to this once in awhile.

yeah best way to celebrate a lonely happy birthday. thanks Beach House

All of Beach House's albums are excellent, but Teen Dream stands above the rest. I think that's because it is the most emotionally direct. I love the dark/cryptic/psychedelic qualities of their other albums, but Teen Dream just cuts to the core. Only Teen Dream has lines like "The only thing you've got / You know you're better off without it".

I mainly started listening to this because I was curious to know if I wanted to go see them at Laneway next year. Now I had listened to Depression Cherry with my girlfriend as we started dating and I had listened to the singles, but before today I was unsure. Now I'm certain it's all worth it, it's just so towering in beauty. A consistent masterpiece of this decade to say the least, Bloom much the same.

When Alex goes into the gorgeous picking part in the middle of Norway (at 12:27 above), no matter what I'm doing I float up to the ceiling.

I can't believe I have just discovered this band.... can't get enough of them

My favorite Beach House album.

They reached perfect sublimation on this album. I'm awestruck every time I sit down to listen to it.

My favourite Beach House album by far.

This is a surprisingly good album for highway driving

I bought this album right when it came out.Liked some of the songs, but never really got into it as a whole. Now, years later, re-listening, I can fully appreciate its greatness.

Thanks for uploading this SubPop. I bought this on vinyl because you did so.

Los que verdaderamente te aman, aunque no los veas siempre, seguirán siendo tus amigos.

beach house is just genius, but it twists my stomach to listen to any of their albums because i rediscovered them when i met my ex, then i got into 'depression cherry' when we'd started our relationship and it was starting to go awry, 'bloom' when we broke up ('wishes' meant so much to me in the aftermath), 'teen dream' when i was starting to be hopeful about a changed but real friendship between us, and the other albums in the months between then and now. a couple of weeks ago i made a huge faux pas and said something that really hurt him and i think that's the end. so i can never listen to an album on the go or whatever, and not be intensely affected by the listening experience...

Wow. I haven't listened to this in ages. It isn't really old, but coming back to this feels as if it's so familiar and classic. Truly a great album, every single track!

To my surprise Beach House's music really reminds me of beach house and I love it .

I've discovered beach house for several years. But all my spirit is so touched again after long time I never played it. just here to pay tribute to beach house from taipei

This album takes me back....sigh...time flies....

Silver Soul, Walk in the park, take care

These are all great songs to discover the dead body of a loved one and sob dramatically to... I should seek help.

The piano after 21:46 is just so heart touching ❤

Thank you sub pop. By the way (not to sound like a hipster) I have purchased this album on CD and on vinyl. I like to put it on and clean the house and be productive. Anyways huge respect and mad love for Sub Pop and Beach House. Game changer.

best album ever

This music makes me happy and sad at the same time.

Better Times - some would call it a masterpiece...

This album is still as good as the first time I heard it
