Reviews Customer Reviews for Slow Motion Daydream      ONE good song. That's it. Everclear's losing it...      Rating:      It's a totally guilty pleasure, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE "Volvo Driving Soccer Mom." It makes me laugh, it makes me sing, it makes me dance. Play it right before Fountains of Wayne's "Stacy's Mom." It's awesome. OK fine. The rest of the album is such a yawn that you begin to wonder what ever happened to Everclear? Seriously, over the last three albums, they've really only come up with three decent songs..."AM Radio", "Wonderful" and "Volvo..." Hey, their greatest hits album is terrific...but these last few separate albums are only for the rabid fans who'll like anything they put out...     Customer Reviews for Slow Motion Daydream Cd      Why all the bad reviews?      Rating:      I would concider myself a casual listener of Everclear's previous works. This being said; I do not understand the negative reviews ,on Amazon, of this album. This is by far my favorite offering from these cats. If all of their albums sounded like this I would be a huge fan. An awesome album from a pretty good band. Editorial Reviews for Slow Motion Daydream Audio Cd      Amazon.com      With the market for modern angst having been sold short by headline writers and color-coded terror-alert designers, what's a '90s-grunge-rooted rock band to do? In the case of Art Alexakis and Everclear, you bare your soul with a smile. On the evidence here, the melodic '70s pop affectations of his divorce-chronicling Songs from an American Movie, Vol. 1 seem to have permanently seeped into Everclear's sound. But they're considerably beefier than the album's straightforward production, wrapping dry observations about American life in bouncy, driving slices of pop-punk that are as infectious as they are wryly disconcerting. Tracks like the album's first single, "Volvo Driving Soccer Mom," and the spirited "How to Win Friends and Influence People" suggest that pervasive rumors of irony's demise have been overstated--or simply ignored--by a gleeful Alexakis and company. If it's an album that also argues that the band is working from formula, it's one they'd be wise to patent. Enhanced CD features include Web keys to performance footage, home movies, and B-side downloads. --Jerry McCulley
