Slowdive - Slowdive
I'm always wary of reunion albums, but daammnn this is good. What a return to form. It not only hits all the Slowdive notes you would want (especially if your only exposure to the band is Souvlaki), but it takes them into new territory. This sounds like a band that left for 20 years and spent those 20 years figuring out how to shame everyone that dismissed them the first time around. And Neil Halstead's voice has matured into this rough "I used to be a shoegazer then I became an alcoholic" sound that really works with the music.
Two thumbs up.
