Despite the critic backlash during the rise of Brit Pop, Souvlaki by Slowdive has aged like fine wine. Regaining popularity after merely having a cult following and being dismissed from the music scene. The warm cozy blanket of their guitars and dreamy lyrics in songs such as Alison lay the ground for the greatest shoegaze album ever. Souvlaki Space Station perfects this dreamy feel and When The Sun Hits takes all credit, being one of the greatest songs to ever be written with the wall of sound encapsulating raw emotions untold by any other artist. Truly a masterpiece that shoegaze bands have failed to replicate many times over.

Such thick guitars, feels like a cozy blanket. Corgans ingenious mixing from albums such as Loveless to create that wall of fuzzy sound with the guitars paired with jimmy chamberlains incredible drumming create an incredible album with no skips from start to finish. Cherub Rocks marching drums before the wall of sound enters sets the perfect tempo for the rest of the album. Corgans voice contrasting with the heavy sound creates a beautiful contrast which creates a feeling of comfort despite how heavy it is. The way how Siamese Dream drops and gains energy was truly perfected by the Smashing Pumpkins in this album. Their best album for sure.
