Teen Dream

One of my favs! Arrived in perfect condition, sounds great.

An excellent album and I like it better than Devotion. I didn't buy the CD until recently. I heard the samples when Teen Dream came out a year ago but it just didn't seem to match the beauty of Devotion. When Teen Dream was listed in several best of 2010 lists, I then thought to take the chance and would also get a free DVD with the CD. When the CD arrived and I listed to Zebra, Silver Soul and then Norway, I knew this was a winner. And it got even better. How about the beauty of Lover of Mine? And 10 Mile Stereo is awesome. Even the slower and soulful Real Love is powerful. I can't see how Beach House can top this record but I felt the same after Devotion and was very surprised. BTW, I wasn't that thrilled about the DVD but it's interesting and was free with the CD.

I like dreamy pop. I'm 56 years old and I liked the Beach boys as a kid in 1962.This was before the Beatles. I liked them and the Four Seasons. "Don't Worry Baby" was my idea of pop perfection. So I am a fan of unapologetic pop music. The Beach House's Teen Dreams makes me feel good. Sort of reminds me of Fleet Foxes, My Morning Jacket, High Llamas. The DVD is not up to par with the music. It's actually detracting. And I don't like the recurring motif taken from the hackneyed Temptations' riff from the beginning of "My Girl" All the same, Teen Dreams is still close to perfection. I am thrilled that I found the review on Pitchfork and that I decided to take a chance on the CD. It's beautiful music and I will be sharing it with friends and family.

Got it for my boyfriend, he absolutely loved it!!

Teen Dream, at heart, insightfully explains itself. You've got the somnolent fade-in ("Zebra"), the distressed mid-dream drama ("Norway"), the period of regretful reminiscence ("Used to Be"), the youthful anthem ("10 Mile Stereo"), and then you've got the tearful finale ("Take Care"). But Beach House gives us something extraordinary. Victoria Legrand's sweltering, sonic prayers echo brightly through the halls of a converted cathedral, and swim carelessly in holy matrimony with Alex Scally's dreamy string decrees. Pulsating keyboard portions are escorted fondly by gleeful, synergetic tambour beats and tambourine feet. Unearthly bubbling babels evolve briskly into swellings of gritty guitar strokes and airy vocal proclamations. An enchanting world of familiar visions fuses fluidly with surreal scenes of extrasolar experiences. And amongst the collusion of far-off "Walk[s] in the Park" and illusions of "Better Times," there is an understated sentiment that is so grippingly human and so achingly intimate that when the record is over, the listener truly feels as if they have been awakened from an epic slumber. It's the yin and yang power that Beach House has previously indicated, but hasn't quite dominated until Teen Dream. And it makes for one heck of a ride. (One of the best of the year so far, hands down.)

First of all let me say that I love this record. Lush, melodic, dynamic, interesting... It flows perfectly from beginning to end and begs to be played over and over. Songs like "Norway" and "Walk in the Park" will stick in your head for days. I've been recommending this album to friends for weeks, even before it came out. Having said that... what were they thinking with the DVD? It's such a cobbled together mash of dissonant visual styles and poor, cheap, unworthy imagery... I mean, it is BAD. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the music without the visual accompaniment.

im traveling backwards into the beach house catalog until the raraties release on the day I am writing this. cant say that I regret it either. and trust me, ive never heard any of this. my frame of mind was skeptical when I began. but after hearing teen dream, they've bested themselves in reverse too. any fan of bloom would love this also. 2 or three pieces sound as if they belong on bloom, and I mean in every quality way. to me the opening number (zebra) is one of a sixties mindset. the second is where a sharp kinship with mazzy star appears. then onto a bloody valentine of a Norway. but my absolute favorites on here have to be the Christine mcvie-like 'lover of mine' and also 'take care' which presents itself whithout mutch to compare it to. if you are already into beach house music, but haven't heard this one, chances are you will love it as mutch or more than the others. I don't think theres any regret in my purchase of this. I will say that I need to spend a little more time with devotion and the first one. but this essay is no problem.

O disco é maravilhoso, a edição idem, porém não vem DVD coisa nenhuma, a Amazon precisa rever a descrição, e me mandar um DVD, ou restituição, please!

Quite superb songs with an undertow of sadness backed with uplifting happy music. Quite a contradiction but on this recording it works superbly well. Possibly their finest work and highly recommended.

Great album, one of my all time favorites. This edition is amazing, the artwork on the cover is simply beautiful. I love the care beach house's team took with this. The seller was trustworthy and the vinyl arrived in perfect conditions.

Es un buen disco
