Talk:Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See but Cannot Feel

On genres
Arguing about what genres go in the infobox is probably a bad idea, but I really don't think this album is indie rock. In the interest of proving my point, I've collected some quotes from the music reviews used in this article that refer to Let the Blind Lead as psychedelic, pop, or ambient in nature.


 * Magnet: "a solo album awash in a vaguely psychedelic haze".
 * Pitchfork: "The result is a gauzy bedroom pop album that drifts from ambient bliss-outs to sadsack avant-garage". The reviewer also notes that various tracks evoke the styles of pop, psychedelia, or ambient.  Also, dude is making up musical styles of his own like "bliss-out" and "avant-garage", and that's a bit odd.
 * Paste: "Let the Blind doesn’t have Cryptograms’ wandering, ambient tracks". (this one goes against my point, but I thought I'd include it anyway)
 * PopMatters: "Cox’s bedroom-recorded solo debut oozes warm (but in spots quite chilling) psychedelia [...] Cox allows for less straight rock tendencies to filter into the recordings than those that characterize...Deerhunter. Cryptograms and Let the Blind Lead share more than a moment or two of ambient similarity."
 * Slant: "The ambient passages ("On Guard," "Winter Vacation," "Ready, Set, Glow") are thoroughly unremarkable".
 * Tiny Mix Tapes: "Where Deerhunter focus on post-punk tempos built around atmospheric backdrops, Atlas Sound’s focus is more on pop atmosphere."
 * Delusions of Adequacy "A lot of the same Deerhunter characteristics occupy Let the Blind…: ambient instrumentals, isolated lyrics and that cool psychedelia"

If you don't agree with me, at least you can see where I'm coming from. In reading the reviews of music critics to work on this article, this is the impression I got in terms of genres. I understand that my own opinion can color it as well, though. Shoegaze used to be listed there, and I took that off because I didn't think this album was shoegaze. At the same time, one critic referred to part of Let the Blind Lead as having elements of shoegazing music. If anything, can we at least put ambient on there? That has to be the most definitive way to define this record, and surely you think Let the Blind Lead is ambient music. --gakon5 (talk / contribs) 00:14, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
