Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

90s shoegaze bands, even the best ones, tended to be terminally uncool. Bowery Electric was a major exception. I mean, they even had an amazing shirt that put "Bowery Electric" on the Adidas logo. This record and Beat are beyond essential listening, shimmering with uniquely menacing, entrancing beauty. kimbendixjr

This is absolutely nothing like loveless. It's its own thing completely, and comparisons are kind of baffling.
It's more Isn't Anything covered by the Swirlies IF the comparison must be made, because this is it's own masterpiece.The sounds of the opening track are pure bliss. bishtmomph
