New Slowdive

[tremolo3]

Sounds like Coldplay with Explosions in the sky playing in a church.


Don't Know Why and Star Roving are on point, the rest... I can't , but I will, maybe.

[Olin]

Man I wish they never got back together. Their live shows have been enormously underwhelming and now this album is even more underwhelming.

Whole thing sounds like lazy, overproduced, lacklustre jesus-rock for the cool kids who sat at the back of the church at absolute best; harks back to the time when they made good music and makes you regret even acknowledging the bullshit cash-in revival of Slowdive.

(hyperbole included)

I listened to the first two songs they released a few weeks ago. Can't say I remember them all too much now, lol.

Still pre-ordered the CD off amazon for shits and giggles.

[O Drones]

Overproduced is pretty accurate. Seen them a few weeks ago and I was genuinely so sick of reverb'd guitar leads by the end. Just seemed like every tune had Neil going to the twelfth fret for some shimmering lead three quarters of the way through. I get that's the vibe, but I dunno. Bleurgh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[JTurbide]

Gonna see them in a couple of weeks.. didn't even listen to their new album I just wish they play classics like When the sun hits, Allison ,etc..

[tremolo3]

I saw them 2 times a few years ago. Be prepared for a big pile of muddiness if they play in an indoor venue.
First one was in an outdoor stage, that was a solid ~40 min performance =]

Damn, I'll probably be disappointed, especially since my last concert was The Brian Jonestown Massacre which is my favorite band ever and they played 3 hours straight and stopped because they were kinda forced.. It was awesome

And you still listen to them after that?

I think you will enjoy Slowdive, I'm just a grinch with pretty much everything. But seriously I can't stand 1+ hour performances of the same band unless the band is called Boris or Tortoise, which I haven't seen yet =(

[JTurbide]

Dude I could listen to BJM an entire week , my back did hurt as hell tho. Can't imagine how it must've been painful for them holding guitars.

[thesmellofrain]

I saw them a couple of years ago and out of all the reunited Creation/90s gaze bands they were probably one of the most solid live acts. And Ive seen my fair share over the years, MBV, Lush, Ride, Swervedriver. But I am still holding off listening to the new album.

[MuffFuzz]

I saw Swervedriver Summer of 2015. Fucking....amazing.

I know!!! They fucking rule! But I saw them at a small bar, which I prefer over the typical big stages where I saw Slowdive, MBV and Ride.

on thursday i went to Pittsburgh to bring some dear friends home from tour. On the Ohio Turnpike at about 330 am we realized this came out and we immediately broke a 4 hour stream of creepypastas to listen to this record. I thought it was fucking sick. Never really been a huge Slowdive fan to be honest but this record in my opinion slays

[SPACERITUAL]

Hot damn was this ever a waste of ten bucks...

This thread is almost as bad as The Force Awakens criticism.
