A long, long time ago...in a galaxy far, far away...Slow were way ahead of their time. So much in fact, that after exploding onto the scene with this six-track EP, Slow did what all potentially great bands do...they died. This is best described as dark, and greasy, very Brit-Goth inspired fuzz metal swagger. Slow hail from Vancouver and are probably now stacking shelves in some supermarket, but at least they can look back and say, "Well, what a cool record we made".
This is a record tinged with a darkness, it lacks an image, but in the sense that it's "don't give a shit" attitude IS its image. The band really should have broke big under the weight of 'Have Not Been The Same', but hey, life's a bitch. Incredibly catchy, 'Have Not...', and the rest of this cult record, are said to have influenced the entire grunge movement. Claustrophobic, tense, angst-ridden, brooding...very rock 'n' roll and totally fucked up. A bucket of oil mixed in with The Damned, Stooges, and a punk sneer. Cool stuff...
7/10
