Took a lotta LSD yesterday and am now convinced As the Sun Hits is the best song ever
|
| |
When the Sun Hits has always been a weird one for me bc I spent years with the (wonderful!) Gathering cover before getting round to this, and would still give that version the edge as my favourite even though I can see why it's an easy album highlight to so many of y'all. Great song either way

Quickly bumped and while I can see where the preference comes from, Silje Wergeland's vocal performace really changes the mood of the track. Slowdive's is so apathetic and dissassociated that Silje's voice adds a dimension I quite frankly was not expecting and which was a little disarming, but I also see how the OG not having that element could cause a hang up if you fell in love with the cover first.

Ah yeah, *Anneke van Giersbergen (earlier era) defs has more colour in her cheeks than Slowdive lol, plus the weight of those guitars behind her - think the other version has a lot more of the high-contrast trashy-neon wholesome/endearing '90s to it (but enough lush atmosphere and earnest deliver to tide things over!) compared to the pallid mope we all know and love this for, but both are perfect for what they go for imo

Wake up everyone. We are voting on slowdive to win sputroyale.

genuinely wonder why none of the other albums have nearly this much recognition, i mean this was very good but i don't understand why fans just ignore just for a day and pygmalion. maybe one day i will be on the souvlaki train but i'd probably still rec anyone who has it rated to check their other stuff, the rating number disparity (esp on rym) is a bit unnerving
|
| |
I don't understand the praise either. I think its just ok

i do get it, i just don't get why the internet just collectively ignores everything they've done before and after it. 50K ratings for this on RYM but not a single other album above 20K. Pygmalion in particular being the dark horse of the original 3 pre-reunion albums at only 15K???
|
| |
I absolutely love their later stuff wayyyy more

i was thinking maybe it had something to do with maybe this is the "major label" release that more people know but all 3 were on Creation
|
| |
not a bad thought. yeah, who knows
|
| |
There is never a good excuse to ignore Pygmalion (or the EPs), but JFAD and the reunion stuff don't get a sniff at this lol
|
| |
I swear to gosh john. I swear the later stuff is much better. hi btw ^_^

idk, i don't understand why just for a day isn't more popular, i heard it first and i think i was expecting this to be a monumental step up immediately and it didn't quite feel that way.
