I'd listen to it if there's some Brian Eno stuff. Otherwise plebgaze as fuck.

That happens in any loving relationship.
I'm assuming yours was a conception of "duty"?

When is this coming out?? I know Rachel is doing a lot of work with Minor Victories (with Stuart from Mogwai) at the moment.
GIMME DAT SOFT FOCUS.

I've tried getting into Slowdive on numerous occasions. I just can't. It is so incredibly boring to me. I bet you're all glad I shared that information with you. Hope you enjoy the new album!

Eno-esque Slowdive would be, probably, incredible. 2016 Slowdive pretending to be 1993 Slowdive would be tedious.

Dream pop & shoegaze bands are prone to this (I think) due to the bread & butter drumming.
A lot of it is moody, rainy day music. Not a good showing for shuffles. Now if you're anything like me and prone to all manner of catchy riffs, harmelodies, basslines getting stuck in your head...

Hearing the droning riff & feedback in this song still makes my heart swell & ears tingle
(sounds much better than allowed by YT audio from 8 years ago. Check dat vinyl ep, flac etc)

Oh, I like dream-pop and shoegaze. I just don't like how Slowdive does it.

Souvlaki is perfect, no getting around that. How anyone into spacing out doesn't like it is beyond me. Lack of good hash/weed/acid, most likely.
But... unless Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead get together again and break up right before this album, I don't see how this can be the same (type of) record.
I want them to have it good as, but also make something kinda goth and "audio ketamine", like SR said.

As an ex-psychonaut and current meditator, that's definitely not why I didn't (and don't) like it. Next theory, plz.
