Even though it's considered one of the 3 key shoegaze albums, I feel that it's underrated. Every review I read compared it with Loveless by MBV, even though they are different in many ways. Souvlaki is more dream-pop influenced, with Eno-tinged background sounds. I'm the minority as I consider Souvlaki as good as Loveless (don't kill me!) with awesome songs like Alison, When The Sun Hits, Souvlaki Space Station and so on.
It's true that the last part of the album isn't as good as the beginning and some songs aren't that good but the entire album itself leaves an impression on me, and that's why I consider it one of my favourite albums of all time.
