Loveless By Kevin Shields)

I bought this album for my big sister as a Christmas present as she's into shoegaze music and I am as well. I honestly never listened to My Bloody Valentine much before but this album is a terrific lush sounding indie record from the Irish dream pop group. The guitars really take centre stage here over the vocals which create this very ethereal sound similar to The Jesus and Mary Chain, another popular band from the shoegaze scene. I'm really love with this album and I can see why My Bloody Valentine are such an influential act on several alternative and hard rock bands (they were a huge influence on The Smashing Pumpkins and Deftones).

IMO this is possibly the greatest album ever made. Absolute masterpiece. Once you realise it's meant to sound like that there's no looking back. Let this seep into your soul and experience the devine. Every time I listen I feel the same warm glow and while it lasts nothing else matters.

Loveless can be impenetrable at first: it seems tuneless and lacking in conventional pop songs. But give it time and listen to the entire album and it begins to make sense. I like music or TV that requires you to make an effort, whilst this is not for everyone, it can be hugely rewarding. Loveless is an astonishing album and for me it can sound different each time. Even 22 years later, no one has surpassed what Kevin Shields achieves with the guitar here. Simply put he reinvents what the guitar is capable of. That they could return with something as great as m b v is cause for celebration.

Completely nuts. I love it.

The first classic from MBV!

Wow !!! This is Loveless cleaner and clearer 😶..

A must have, no band sounded the same after it. And the almost imperceptible differences between the 2 remasters are the perfect excuse to crank it all the way up. The remaster from the analogue tapes sounds just perfect and loud, by the way.

I think I liked it more when I first heard it. And I'm not convinced I needed two copies of the same album, but hey one for the completeists.
