    Not their best, but still awesome. They're still my favorite group, five years running now. :D

    Don't be put off; this is the best album Everclear has produced since So Much for the Afterglow. Indeed, where it even surpasses the earlier album is in the consistency of the output; there are no filler tracks on Slow Motion daydream, and the 12 tracks display the whole range of Everclear's music wonderfully. Sure the album doesn't rock as hard as their first few, but the Don't be put off; this is the best album Everclear has produced since So Much for the Afterglow.

Sure the album doesn't rock as hard as their first few, but the songwriting makes up for this easily. Art has matured as a genuine songwriter, and it has allowed Everclear to survive when many of their contemporaries have fallen by the wayside.… Collapse

    Musically, Everclear sound almost exactly the same as when they signed with Capitol in 1995: punk, profoundly polished. But the details Alexakis sprinkles into the mix keep things interesting. [Apr 2003, p.102]

    If it's an album that also argues that the band is working from formula, it's one they'd be wise to patent.

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