5.0 out of 5 stars Waves - one of the greatest songs ever.
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2002
Verified Purchase
What compels me to write a review for this album is the song "Waves." Those opening guitar chords and wash of sound is so evocative of my memories with friends at Stinson Beach in Northern California, even though these memories were a few years before I first heard this song. That is strange that a song can do that to me. I feel the sun, the 'soaring birds', the languor, and the rhythmic ocean through this song. The lyrics are so poetic- the lines 'leaving all my sins I turn away, like soaring birds, I watch my sorrow play,' gets to me every time. And then the drums kick up the beat, and it gets urgent, and the synthesizers soar up an octave, expressing so much of how we feel sometimes in that singular instance. It feels so sincere and from his heart. Those synthesizer harmonies are some of the greatest musical experiences for me. I don't understand why synthesizers aren't used like this more often, like it was in The Cure's incredible Disintegration album. I sure wish Slowdive could have made more albums, although I like Mojave 3 just as much. And then the next song, Brighter, chimes in those beginning notes and Rachel Goswell sustains those ethereal high harmonies that seem slightly out of tune. The other song I have to mention is Catch the Breeze. Turn up the volume at the end and the guitars reverb into oblivion, and you just get lost in them. It seems most people like Souvlaki more than Just for a Day, but I prefer this one slightly more. Thanks Neil, Rachel, and co.

4.0 out of 5 stars slowdive's first makes an impression
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2000
Verified Purchase
It is my understanding that this was the first of Slowdive's three full length CDs. It is by far the most dreamy of their three albums, being filled with layers of lush, white noise that more often than not drown out the lilting vocals of sometimes-vocalist rachel goswell. Perhaps it should be stylistically labeled as "shoegazer fallout."
If the goal of the band on this CD was to be to create a truly ethereal experience for the listener, they succeeded. The guitars are reverbed and delayed and the white noise is simply...heavenly; the harmonics, distortion, and sustain are really beautiful to listen to. The lyrics are not printed, but when listening to the CD it feels that having the lyrics would probably not even be that important since the music conveys so much in and of itself.
Despite all of this, however, it would have been nice if the band had chosen some more concrete musical elements to use in their songs. One almost gets the feeling that when the musical inspiration wore thin (or was altogether lacking), they merely chose to drown out the other instrumentation in white noise. White noise is great, but sometimes less is more.
Overall, this is a great CD. Those wishing for something more concrete may wish to check out the band's second full-length CD, "Souvlaki."

5.0 out of 5 stars A timeless masterpiece
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2019

If you're reading this thinking about buying a slowdive album, do it. I heard of Slowdive in a rock and roll history textbook. They sounded intriguing, and after listening to the Stone Roses I decided to give them a shot. I was blown away and the experience was life changing. Opened my mind up to a whole new world of music including the likes of MBV. The music is textured, deep, ethereal, meaningful, and emotional. This is Slowdive's best album hands down and unfortunately sits in the shadow of Souvlaki.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Shoegaze Classic
Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2020
Verified Purchase
Just as the title says, this was one of the records that really defined shoegaze as a genre. The fact that most of it was written in the studio goes to show how much creativity was brimming from the band at the time, and it comes through in the music. It's not a particularly polished piece of work, but it's incredibly inspired, and an absolute joy to listen to.

This MOV pressing is excellent. The sound comes out clean and strong, without any unwanted ambiance.

Full recommendation here.

5.0 out of 5 stars bonus cd mit den ersten 3 eps und der peel session!
Reviewed in Germany on October 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
zu der zeit, als just for a day erschien, hörte ich das geniale catch the breeze auf einer compilation und kaufte mir damals ihr erstes album, das nichts von dessen magie verloren hat. verträumte, psychedelische, melancholische und wunderschöne musik, in der man sich verlieren kann....
die 2. cd finde ich fast noch besser: sie enthält die kompletten und gesuchten ersten 3 eps plus die einzige peels session.
allesamt grossartige tracks, die das eigentliche album fast noch toppen. catch the breeze der peels session ist die bessere version!
die 3 eps gibt es auch als compilation unter dem titel blue day zu kaufen, zu einem weit höheren preis.
sie zeigen die band von ihrer psychedelischen seite.
das booklet enthält neben einem ausführlichen text über die enstehung und anfangsphase der band alle 3 cover der eps in cd grösse, so muss das sein!
ich hatte erst die 3er box der 3 alben bestellt, mich dann aber für die expanded editions entschieden.
eine sehr gute entscheidung!
wer von slowdive nicht genug bekommen hat, sollte hier zugreifen!
und natürlich unbedingt das unglaubliche comeback album von 2017 checken!
