Chapterhouse - Whirlpool

I'll admit, I just got this very recently (yesterday). I thoroughly believe that this is a record that simply came out at the wrong time. 1991? Yeah, that's a bad time for ANY album to come out if you want it go be getting recognition. We're talking Nevermind, Ten, Loveless...there's not much that can compete with those albums.

This album is very solid though. It doesn't feel like a cohesive masterpiece that blends together into fifty minutes of bliss like Loveless or Souvlaki, on the contrary, it feels like a collection of really good individual shoegaze works. "Breather" contains something I don't often hear or take notice of maybe: an acoustic guitar! Highlights include "Autosleeper" and easily the closing track, "Something More," leaving the listener wanting exactly what the song says, "something more".
