After a 22-year-long hiatus, they prove not only that they are a staple in the shoegazing genre, but also that their ambition has peaked to an unprecedented height. In comparison to the low-profile Just for a Day and the beautiful yet depressive Souvlaki, this eponymous album witnesses their musicality unleashed in full scale. The long intro in the opening track Slomo, whose title by the way is very self-referential in terms of its song structure and the nature of the band's soundscape, is so daring to the point that during your frist listen, it keeps you wondering when or whether the vocal is going to kick in. The gentleness is well blended into the grandiose instrumentation, creating a paradoxical sense of wonder which leaves you desiring for more. But then there comes the second track, the show-stealer Star Roving, and it gets aggressive without being too blunt. These two songs pretty much sets up the foundation of the album's strong, optimistic and brave vibe wrapped betwixt certain touching and sadness-induced downers. It's as if dozens of rays of light penetrate the dark universe to guide you on a memorable journey when you listen to these songs. When it reaches the denouement, the melancholic Falling Ashes does a great job bidding you good night in an ambient sound with its crystal-clear piano serenade. For me, this is absolutely the best Slowdive album to date, and it gives me high hopes in their future work because it best bespeaks that they are reluctant to be bound by any prism of song-writing or music production. This is more than the best expectation for an evolution in the past 22 years that a fan could long for, and it's a huge step forward for shoegaze and for rock music in general in my humble opinion."  [+]  Reply

This was my first wilco record and I remember as a 14 year old St Louis music fan this album was a revelation! I was hooked! Yeah, just about every song is great! And the varied stylistic range of the tracks is super impressive. "How To Fight Loneliness" still gets me every time. The opener "Can't Stand It" while not a stand out track is a good energetic starter. "She's a Jar", "Via Chicago", "I'm Always In Love", "Shot In The Arm" and of course the Title track, and soooo much more on here are just downright masterful. It's hard to imagine how a band could too this... But they did with YHF, just barely. "  [+]  Reply

When most people people think of emotional 80's music, their mind usually jumps to The Smiths. And while I really enjoy The Smiths, their music, and their lyrics, I don't feel like they're describing problems I've had or things I've thunk, so it's hard for me to get that instant personal connection so many others have when they can so quickly relate the lyrics back to their own experience. On the other hand, Prefab Sprout so eloquently describe EVERYTHING I've thought and felt that it becomes overwhelmingly emotional for me to listen to the music. It's here I've found that personal connection that elevates it from "this music is excellent" to "listening to this is a truly incredible one-of-a-kind experience." I'm so glad I've found this album, and I'm sure my love for it can only grow over time."  [+]  Reply

You can also add Sued's 'Dog Man Star' to that list Rehearsals for 'Dog Man Star' were very tense and would split the band into two separate camps. Bernard Butler had his own agenda (an example of which was a 25 minute version of "Asphalt World" which included an 8 minute guitar solo) and frequently clashed with the rest of the band and producer Ed Buller eventually leaving the sessions with the album far from completion . That the album was not only completed but is so darn good is mind blowing Personally I prefer the cock sure swagger of their debut but 'D.M.S' is close behind with its glam rock , Bowie influenced grandness . It's not quite a masterpiece due to the weaker tracks "Daddy's Speeding" and "Black or Blue" but it sits comfortably as one of the 1990's best albums Incredible "  [+]  Reply

I pretty much picked this album up the week it was released , I don't recall why I decided to pick it up on vinyl LP but I just did (it must have been the musical gods speaking to me ) and TBH it was life changing . So I bring it home and drop the needle and I couldn't believe what I was hearing , it was like nothing that had come before and it literally blew my mind , I'll never forget that moment like the moment I first heard 'Surfer Rosa' The reviews were Mind-Boggling such as this example from Melody Maker describing the album as - " a raving nymphomania and out of body experience that establishes them as absent minded rulers of this daydream nation" Every song here is great , every moment means something . The song that really unlocked this album for me was "No More Sorry" a sorrowful longing piece that gets me every time And you have to remember this was a land mark album / sound in that nothing had been done like it prior , shoe-gaze is now an established musical gene , this album is Ground Zero Masterpiece 85/100 "  [+]  Reply

How can something so intensely raucous and screechingly unsympathetic to the human ear (which always expects and is attuned to harmony, resolution, and, most appropriate in this context, agreeable textures) as black metal result in a euphoric response? How can this sound so beautiful, while it's still so taxing and emotionally draining to listen to? The answer is similar to that of shoegazing and dream pop -- the instrumentation, and how they combine to result in resplendent textures swirling in a lofty haze. The difference is the darker approach and heavier execution of this record, which features loud, climactic textures, strident (and impressive) drumming, and screaming vocals set upon this foundation, rather than dreamy vocals that blend into the mix, like in Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine. In this way, the lyrics become even less the central focus - most of the time lyrics are indistinguishable in these tracks (although, they do exist) - and the central focus becomes the phonic experience. Deafheaven attempts to take the listener on a phonic experience never before heard by rock audiences. And though similar things have been attempted in previous years already, Deafheaven does not do a bad job of this. "  [+]  Reply
