THE REVIEW
I've already talked about it. I know. But I need to add more. This is the best shoegaze work I've ever heard. More than 10 years after the peak of the genre, this "Swoon" by Silversun Pickups comes out and it's the best synthesis of all shoegaze variants. Creative and powerful. One of the best albums I've heard in the last 10 years. In 2009 this is a miracle of creativity.
Have you listened to it? Am I exaggerating? Perhaps, but it's a matter of quality of life. This album elevates it a bit. Miracles that only certain music can achieve. I've noticed it hasn't even been reviewed by other "official" review sites. And of course, the latest by John Foxx & Co. is much more snobbish to review. The Silversun have only made two albums but they have already said something important. And that is it's still possible to make great music without any plagiarism.
The best album of 2009. Alex

If you liked the first one, this is much better.
Just when we thought rock and roll was dead.
