Bloody underrated this

Yeah. Misunderstood

Album Rating: 4.5

demands a very different headspace to the rest of their discog (except the 5 ep) and popular gaze in general, so I kinda get how the genre revival has missed it out, but still

deeply unfortunate // blessed album

Album Rating: 5.0

Ugh. I kind of yearn for Johnny's timeline. Oh what could have been (and I do enjoy their latest)

depends on the flava as always but slowwub > mining the depths of obscurity for the 6,000th best core album from 1997

This isn’t really “a Slowdive album” to me but it is amazing

some might say it’s the “only Slowdive album” …

Album Rating: 4.5

Nah, that would be Souvlaki

Album Rating: 5.0

why not both? (and the S/T EP is almost as essential imo)

also, even tho I do understand the idea of viewing a portion of a band’s output as a separate entity, this is absolutely a Slowdive album in every sense. It probably depends on how you view the importance of their material. They are primarily a shoegaze outfit and this was a departure but the execution is so emphatically successful that removing it feels like it ignores part of their legacy idk

most apt immediate comparable is Portishead’s Third. It’s strikingly different to their earlier material (altho a comeback album), but arguably just as impactful (and Dummy is my #1 album of all time).
