Put simply, no album feels more like high school to me, for better or worse, than Wish.

Oysterhead challenges the curse of the rock band fusion and comes out on top, smiling toothy grins.

It feels rather unfocused and meandering, like the group hit a brick wall after a decade of making the same lovely sounds.

A microcosm of The Cure’s entire career, highlighting nearly every rise and fall, every stylistic direction, every bold experiment, and every failure the band has ever had.

This album is a reminder that no good thing can remain forever, and that we ought not to take them for granted while we have them around.

‘Vespertine’ trades the icy bombast of ‘Homogenic’ for deeper, richer, more intimate soundscapes and incredibly revealing lyrics.

Incredibly listenable, downright catchy, and kitschy in all the right ways.

Ween has spawned a blend of their best feats and presented them on one disc.
