    Consolidates the strengths and weaknesses of the American Movie one disc.

    Despite the fact that nobody bought their lackluster last two albums, Art Alexakis and his two lackeys are back with the even more banal and unnecessarily loud Slow Motion Daydream.

    Mostly, though, this is vintage mid-'90s Everclear. [#15, p.122]
