I haven't used a pun in long time...

Last November I ran a month of shoegaze polls, all bands were shoegaze but the albums weren't always heavy on the petal. This round is no different and will run four or five since we have five Wednesdays in October 2024. I ran this a month earlier because of The Cure, US elections and the Jesus and Mary Chain/ Psychedelic Furs show that will happen in LA right afterwards.

One of the best shoegaze albums of all time!

I really can't wait to relisten to stuff like "Autosleeper" "Falling Down" and "Guilt." This album also has THE song.

I had a chance to listen to this last night, I worried that it would sound dated but it didn't. It still sounds glorious to me.

This show was also really good in Hollywood and they did look at their feet a lot, lol.

"Pearl" is a classic. I don't remember much about the rest of the album, so I should probably give it a fresh spin.

13 years ago and they sounded clear, I just love this kind of stuff!

The drumming on this album is so good.

Okay, I will shut up now.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

This was the version of Something More on my old tape, the version of the album on Spotify has the original version though. This one was .. remixed by Guthrie?

Hard choice this actually but went with Treasure. A really underrated album this. Can’t believe we haven’t polled it before. I hope the Souvlaki fans who fill big venues for Slowdive shows, have found this album as well.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The EP version of Falling Down is a ton better than on the full length but I love it anyway, always skip the first song though, rest of the album is A+.

The EP version of Pearl is also better than the album version. inexplicably left off the box set that came out recently

― Colonel Poo, Tuesday, 8 October 2024 09:00 (two months ago) link

I need to dig out Rownderbowt and revisit

― Maresn3st, Tuesday, 8 October 2024 09:06 (two months ago) link

looks like Rownderbowt does have the single version of Pearl on it as it's 5:18 instead of 4:52

― Colonel Poo, Tuesday, 8 October 2024 09:12 (two months ago) link

Such an amazing album. Hard to choose a favorite.
