This album is excellent. I listened to it for the first time on an overcast, rainy day in Ohio, and it's somehow appropriate to have done so at a time when spring battles winter for dominance.
The title track, "Presence", is cool and has an interesting vibe overall. The first half gives Slowdive, therefore reminding me of Gregg Araki's film adaptation of Mysterious Skin.
I particularly love "The Old Regime", "Justice and the Cross", and "Start Again".
