Slowdive - Slowdive (2017)
It was difficult not to have sky-high expectations going into this album. They are one of my all-time favourite bands after all. But hearing their first new album in 22 years had me perhaps a tiny bit underwhelmed. This album does not scale the awesomeness of Souvlaki, Pygmalion, or any of their early EPs, but what we do have is still a good album. Musically it sounds like the missing link between Souvlaki and Pygmalion and I give them credit for not just completely rehashing their past. But props to them for making a comeback album which doesn't suck.
