''Translate Slowly'' is the 1985 debut album by The Reivers. This album was originally released under the band's original name, Zeitgeist, but was remixed in 1988 and re-released under the band name The Reivers, after another band claimed rights to the name "Zeitgeist." The album received positive attention from many critics. ''The Austin Chronicles Austin Music Awards ranked it the third best album of 1985,〔(Austin Music Awards: Best Texas Music, 1985 ), ''The Austin Chronicle'' (accessed 2015-03-19).〕 and ''Los Angeles Times'' critic Robert Hilburn included it on his year-end list of the best 100 records of the year.〔Robert Hilburn, ("Hilburn's Best Lp's Of '85" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', January 19, 1986.〕 Ted Simons of ''Spin'' magazine called it "one of the better independent releases of the year", although he expressed reservations about what he found to be "heavy-handed" harmonies on some tracks.〔Ted Simons, ("Zeitgeist, ''Translate Slowly''" (review) ), ''Spin'', October 1985.〕 The album's opening track, "Araby", was later covered by Hootie and the Blowfish on their 2000 collection ''Scattered, Smothered and Covered''.〔Michael Bertin, (Pop Beloved: Revisiting the Reivers ), ''Austin Chronicle'', April 26, 2002.〕〔David Pyndus, ("The Reivers" ), ''PopMatters'', February 18, 2008.〕 Ryan Adams has named this album as a leading influence on his own musical style.〔Ryan Adams, ("The Records That Changed My Life" ), ''Spin'', August 2004.〕 ==Track listing== # "Araby" – 2:38 # "Cowboys" – 2:39 # "Legendary Man" – 4:37 # "Blue Eyes" – 2:57 # "She Digs Ornette" – 2:44 # "Things Don't Change" – 4:08 # "Translate Slowly" – 3:05 # "Sound and the Fury" – 2:43 # "Without My Sight" – 3:08 # "I Knew" – 4:40 # "Freight Train Rain" – 2:28 # "Hill Country Theme" – 2:35 # "Electra" – 3:04 # "Wherehaus Jamb" – 1:51 # "Walking the Cow" – 2:36 The last three tracks are "bonus" songs on the CD, which were not included on the original release of the album.
