No sir. I was -1 at the time. Does this fact affect anything?

From an emotional standpoint, yes absolutely. Just For A Day accompanied my confused, hormone-infused teenage emotions. I had no idea who Brian Eno was at the time and by 1993 shoegaze was irrelevant to me.

Souvlaki is an okay album though. I guess.

I can understand that. I try to be as objective as possible though. I don't really have immense emotional connections to any shoegaze albums, which is why I thought it'd be a good topic to try and cover and review. It would be different if I decided to review The Antlers discography or something, because I'd give them all 10/10 because of the emotional connection when objectively probably only Hospice deserves that lol

Yeah, man. Say what you want, it'll be a great thread. I love a portion of shoegaze, like, LOVE it, so please keep going but do expect my subjective rants to arise occasionally.

Alright, and that's all good man. Subjectivity is really the most important thing about music!
