The first song, "Soon," is one of the group's greatest sound paintings, filled with evocative textures and eerie, disembodied rhythms, while the title track is nearly as fascinating, making Glider an essential addition to a My Bloody Valentine library.

This EP blends the styles My Bloody Valentine already had and the styles they would soon come to master.

Whatever Kevin Shields does to his guitar just blows my mind. Not a single bad song here I just wish it was longer and its kinda weird hearing Soon as an opener

Glider is the first of two prelude EPs to Loveless, and you are here for Soon. That's it.
The title track is just a repetitive guitar effects demo and the other two songs aren't particularly worth your time either. The Loveless mix of Soon is better anyway so why is anyone even here?

Highlights: soon (obviously)

It's unfortunate that glider wasn't on loveless. A lot of great my bloody valentine songs are hidden in some of these many EPs they put out.

The second track is probably hella impressive and textured and whatnot but I cannot for the life of me get the appeal of listening to it. The rest of the stuff here is great though.
