How the Music Critic Score works
The Engineers' early-'90s shoegaze meets mid-'90s space rock is so reverent to its mistress, one wonders if the reels weren't pulled from a 4AD time capsule buried in the English countryside. The word dreamy barely begins to describe the British quartet's wind tunnel vocals, heavily chorused guitars, and swirling electronic vistas. Derivative as it may be, it's done so well that it's awfully hard to bash.
