3.0 out of 5 stars Sadly average......, November 1, 2007

This review is from: Battle of Sealand (Audio CD)
This album is a large letdown from the EP's released from over the years. It does not define a sound for Airiel within the shoegaze realm. This album consists of songs that sound 'just like Ride' or 'just like MBV' or Swervedriver etc. I saw them live and they were loud and good (hats off to that); but their true identity has slipped past these guys on the last studio entry. I would love to be able to say 'wow that sounds just like Airiel'. If you want to hear Airiel listento their earlier EPs. If you want the real Ride, MBV sound go out and buy the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finer albums in the nugaze realm, August 1, 2008
By 
This review is from: Battle of Sealand (Audio CD)
Believe me, I've searched every nook and cranny for the latest and greatest bands of this newly revived era of shoegaze, aptly titled, nugaze. Taken into consideration that my predilection for the shoegaze sound is closer to the fast, energetic, loud and aggressive sound that is very characteristic of this album, influenced by bands such as chapterhouse, ride and swervedriver and less slow-dive and my bloody valentine. This is a fine album with a little bit of everything. I find this album to be compared highly to the much loved EP's the band had previously sequentially released, but in all honesty, this album has enough energy to keep your mind off things. I award this five stars on the basis of the fact that I haven't stopped listening to it since I've boughten it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nugaze at its finest, January 15, 2012
By 
B H (Ne United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battle of Sealand (Audio CD)
While some may long for the days of great shoegaze bands. This is a fresh direction. Full of sonic bliss and great musicianship. Not a beautiful as the singles none the less a solid effort and one of the most listened to albums in 2010 on my stereo. Not as ethereal as in 4ad acts this album has the drive and power that is equal to any 4ad act. I hope to see more from this band in the future. I would like to see live performances I bet they are killer.
