    Just as their previous self-titled album in 2017, Slowdive stick to their guns with the release of everything is alive. IMO, its a solid addition to their catalogue that doesn't rock the boat. Songs I liked: shanty, alife, skin in the game

    Not bad at all: prayer remembered, kisses, chained to a cloud, the slab

    Least Fav Track: andalucia plays

    Final Score: 6.5/10

    It gets a touch ploddy in the middle, but the motorik of Shanty and electric pulse of Chained To A Cloud channel sanguine sunshine. Thriving. [Oct 2023, p.85]

    It amounts to a frustrating end to a frustrating record, one where some great sounds and ideas aren’t fully worked through into wholly successful songs.

    Even the love songs feel lonelier, the landscape more unforgiving. A good Slowdive song has always felt like two lovers huddling together for warmth. But on everything is alive, the forces conspiring against the star-crossed lovers feel more menacing and specific.
