Second Coming is garbage.
There's this crazy intersection of it all...between Joy Division/New Order, the Chameleons, Bauhaus, etc that all led to a sort of "forget the mids" sound, which left front vocals and lead guitars in the background while heavy rhythm and distortion were at the forefront.
A lot of folks called that "Shoegaze"...but I think it went way beyond what the British critics were calling it and manifests itself to this day.

Lol I didn't think you were being condescending. Anyways yeah that's an interesting way to put it; the term shoegaze by itself can be hard to define, especially if you're grouping a bunch of bands together that all have different styles/sounds. I'm sorta familiar with Joy Division/New Order but not enough to sound like I know what I'm talking about, so I'll take your word for it, haha.
& I discovered Radar Eyes only a few days ago actually (yeah Im behind on albums from last year, but whatev) & loving it

favorite tracks right now are Disconnection and Secrets. Seems like a pretty solid album though.
