Slowdive’s best qualities are showcased in the pure psychological bittersweetness heard on Just For A Day. Recorded in 6 weeks after lying to their label. Slowdive forwarded a debut where they collude keyboards, percussion, slow spiraling guitars and mystical harmonies to achieve a persistent and extreme sense of emotional edge, a never-ending aching mental coda in search of nirvana that is propulsed by gigantic waves of sound.

Ouch

Nah this is a minor dream pop masterpiece in its own right. Souvlaki still vastly superior but this is def better than the new album.

Johhny how can your opinions on shoegaze be consistently bad?

"Does anyone want to admit that this is better than Souvlaki"
No hesitation.

Lol if you wanna get technical, I guess I love Slowdive first and foremost as a dream pop band, then as a post-rock band on Pygmalion, and then as a shoegaze band. This is their most shoegazey and most boringly written album so I guess it figures

That explains things fully. Perhaps shoegaze is just boring.

don't know guys, this album is dope and so dreamy, but you kind of only enjoy it when you're super stoned, so I don't think this makes a "superb" album for them
