How to Raise The Bar in Noise-Rock 101 by MBV
As the style-over-substance of the 1980s began to self destruct under it?s own indulgence and soulless approach in the 1990s, the underground music scene of the 1980s was gaining momentum in the 1990s as bands like R.E.M., Jane?s Addiction, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers gained mainstream...

The timeless album of a ne'er forgotten band
Released at the height of the "shoegazer" era in 1991, My Bloody Valentine's second full-length, "Loveless," raised the bar considerably on their contemporaries Curve, Ride, Swervedriver and Slowdive, not to mention many more. It was (and still is) regarded by many as the "reinvention of rock... Read full review »
Loveless, The greatest shoegazer album ever
MBV's Loveless is one of those records that seemingly everyone who knows about it loves. Except for my wife, that is. Every time Soon comes on my ipod or on one of the mix CDs playing in our car she reaches over to switch to the next track, which usually leads to me putting up some resistence in...

Your Life is Incomplete Without This Album!
It's somehow completely appropriate that in one seven-month period in 1991-92, we got the three greatest and most significant rock releases of the 1990s: Nirvana's Nevermind; Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted; and this magenta majesty, the only one of the trio that wasn't the start of a career, but...

MBV have erected a monument more lasting than bronze
In 500 years' time, this album will still sound new and invigorating. The lucky human who finds it will still be blown away at the sonic invention. There has never been an album that sounds like this in the history of music. The raw materials of sound here seem to be mainly guitars, but they've... Read full review »
In Love With My Bloody Valentine's Loveless
I can think of many instances of a bad reviewer, but two really stick out in my mind. The first is when someone tells you how great something is, but can't put into words why he or she likes it. I'm sure you've heard from a friend about the greatness achieved by a band or movie, but upon further... Read full review »
I guess MBV just isn't necessarily my style
When I hear about a band who influences lots of my favorite bands, my impression that I get is to check it out and maybe I'll find a love for the particular album. Many of the times, it has worked. My Bloody Valentine may, but that's to a much lesser extent. I don't mean to rip apart the album,... Read full review »
Aural Healthcare
Loveless is truly an album beyond compare. Layered with as much precision as a 18th century petticoat, it's profound influence has crafted the musical direction of countless bands. To call it one of the greatest albums ever made is not an exaggeration at all but it still remains a remarkably... Read full review »
A beautiful noise... you were right!
Wow... I mean WOW. Lately I've decided to check out a few albums that I always seemed to ignore because of the huge amount of critical praise heaped upon them. I mean, really, is there any way they could actually be that good? No way man! But... Radiohead's OK Computer was really incredible. Yet... Read full review »
Perfection
Nevermind Nirvana, My Bloody Valentine is easily the most important band of the 90s. Beyond all that pretentious nonsense though, Loveless is an album that will completely tear down every idea you have of what music should be. From the first enormous guitar entrance of "Only Shallow" to the fade... Read full review »
