The entire world needs this album not to suck. I need this album to not suck. I'm pretty sure this album is going to suck, but it would be really super for the human race if it didn't. Do we want souvlaki pt. 2? You're damn right that's what we want. It's what we deserve, so don't fuck around and please just make with the audio ketamine. I love you.

It could be good. MBV was good. Great, even.
50%?

My fav is obv
Souvlaki. Will always have affection for that record. Wont pretend like I want another
Souvlaki.
Will happily embrace the new album for what it is, providing it delivers as Slowdive did once upon a time

Rooting for it to be more what
In Prism is to Polvo, less what
MBV is to MBV

See... to a less observant eye, I admit it would appear as if "Hey! These guys just came into SRs thread and disagreed with him!!!" but, being the perceptive person I am, I know its more like "Oh hey these guys got a little carried away in the moment and blanked on the proper etiquette when addressing SR in one of his threads". But hey, no-one can be 100% all the time! We'll just chock this one up to lesson learned!

I mean I've never listened to Souvlaki so I'll just listen to that when this one drops and live in a veil of ignorance tbqh

i mean...objectively...IMO...mojave 3 was whatever and i don't really consider it when thinking of slowdive, and pygmalion i think there was a reaction to the negative perception of souvlaki when it debuted. So i think the only proper thing to do is pick back up at a time that, when we look back critically, we can consider "High Slowdive". That is the EPs and albums that defined what most consider to be the slowdive sound.
This is why i think, as much as i didn't like it, MBV was still relevant as a my bloody valentine record. It was actually shit recorded throughout the years right?
I mean who the fuck really cares about the new swervedriver being a good representation of where the guys from that band are now. So what. Its not swervedriver. Give the band a new name like "dreadless losers that play lame college rock not very loudly" or like "music to really definitely not get laid to" or something.

I mean considering the music you get laid to dude I'm not sure that's a good metric.

The proper etiquette in any thread where I post is being :100 emoji:
DoS it's good to start with
Just For A Day reissue (which includes the early EPs)
I didn't mention Swervedriver's record because I wasn't into it. At all. I'll have to give it another shot but I received it as being phoned-in

No idea what your preening protocol is, Space--only real comment I had was that it may not suck.
I've got a lot more faith in its potential level of quality than, say, a new "Pixies" record. Or that long awaited Postal Service follow-up (second cumming?).

Or even better they could do a Seefeel, instead of filling their 90s shoes they pissed all over them and threw them out the door.

Saw Slowdive last month, almost cried. It was really good and such a fantastic experience to have
I have no expectations. I try not to have any expectations for anything these days because everything is shit. But I will be really disappointed if it ends up sucking
