Far be it from me to vote against Slowdive, but have to go with the uniqueness of Drugstore....B

Re: 90s Cup Round 2 Match 11
Drugstore's guitar tones kind of remind me of 90s Flaming Lips, which is not a bad thing in my book anyhow. Quite liked it. Quite liked both actually, but for virtue of being the unknown here, B.

Re: 90s Cup Round 2 Match 11
Tuneless slog vs. tuneless slog. Is this really what the 90s was about to people here? I despair.
Tempting to abstain, but I guess A at least doesn't have the breathy vocals too.

Re: 90s Cup Round 2 Match 11
Slowdive do have their moments. This isn't one of them: boring and draggy.
B wasn't very impressive either. Annoying vocals, unimaginative tune and guitar work.
Where is all the good '90s music?
A I suppose.

B is actually rather gorgeous. Those unique vocals and the scratchy guitars lift this up from the usual dream pop and shoegaze stuff... such as Slowdive.

Like most Slowdive tracks, A just seems like air to me. There's nothing particularly offensive about it, but I can't embrace it either. B actually has a nice melody and makes me want to check out more from Drugstore.

Drugstore wasn't bad. But those first two Slowdive-EPs bring back memories!

B is ok in bits, but A is great. Those guitars and drums are gorgeous.

Not that keen on either, but A does, at least, create an atmospheric soundscape, even though, frustratingly, they do nothing with it. B is just very ordinary alt rock.

Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Re: 90s Cup Round 2 Match 11
I never got the fuss around Slowdive, I bought Souvlaki, and it was all as dreary as this. I can't remember if it tried having the Cocteau Twin vocals or not, but this misses the mark by quite a distance.
A good spot by Algroth to notice the Flaming Lips influence, Drugstore did an acoustic cover of "She Don't Use Jelly" on one of their b-sides. This was my attempt to bring some proper up-front pop music to the 90s cup. Of all the mainstream bands who got a little bit of attention in the mid 90s, but then were forgotten, Drugstore were the only ones who stood out for me. Nice chunky fuzzy guitars with a hint of Mary Chain, some lovely fun vocals, proper pop nous in my books. I toyed with picking the duet with Thom Yorke, to see how a BCB-darling would fare, but even I couldn't withstand that torrent of abuse...

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Re: 90s Cup Round 2 Match 11
I can handle a dirgy number if there is something to latch on to that makes it memorable but there is just nothing in A.
B didn't have much spark to set it apart either but I vote for it reluctantly.
