Overview
Slowdive’s debut album creates a truly dreamy atmosphere for listeners. It’s definitely an album best experienced with headphones, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in its soundscapes. This is an album that requires you to be in the right mood, and while it’s beautifully crafted, I couldn’t help but feel there weren’t many standout moments - but this is a record best appreciated as a whole rather than through individual tracks. If a song from ‘Just For A Day’ comes up on shuffle, it might not have the same impact as it does within the context of the full album arrangement. While it feels slightly too long for my taste, it remains a dreamy experience that will likely hook listeners onto Slowdive’s unique sound.
Recommended for the not-so-tired dreamers who have got some time to kill.

Album Artwork Rating
7/10
I think this artwork really captures the sound of ‘Just For A Day’ very well - a dreamy, somewhat messy, but beautiful ballad. Has a real ‘90s feel to it.
