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 Chronicle's Austin Music Awards ranked it the third best album of 1985, and Los Angeles Times critic Robert Hilburn included it on his year-end list of the best 100 records of the year. 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.
The album's opening track, "Araby", was later covered by Hootie and the Blowfish on their 2000 collection Scattered, Smothered and Covered. Ryan Adams has named this album as a leading influence on his own musical style.
