AllMusic[2]

Starless is a studio album by American post-hardcore band Shiner.[3] It was released in April 2000.

Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that "Shiner clean up their act by scrapping the lo-fi dirge and replacing it with a less cacophonous brand of guitar rock."[1] The Dallas Observer wrote that "Starless ranked among [2000]'s top albums, showcasing pristine melodies, new drummer Jason Gerken's ticking-time-bomb percussion, subtle wind-chime guitars and deceptively intense vocals."[4]
