Loveless
by My Bloody Valentine

It's funny. If you listen to just the melodies, you're not left with anything too memorable. Song structures are simple. The guitar sounds are pretty amazing, but you wouldn't listen only to that by itself. The lyrics, what you can decipher at least, are nothing to die for either.
Somehow everything thrown together sounds like the most beautiful mess ever, that you never want to stop.

I always find myself putting the volume up, because I feel like hearing the melody a bit more clearly. And by doing that the I dive even further into the whole "wall of noise". And I'm listening to the music at an incredible volume without even realizing it. You can't get much closer to a full "3D" experience when it comes to music. It just takes you into its own world. It's messy, it's loud, it's so very beautiful.

When I listen to this album, I can't understand a single word Kevin is singing. When I look up the lyrics, I can barely follow them in the songs. That must be one reason that this is not the easiest listen. I know that a lot of praise for this album must come from the lyrical content, and reading them on paper is good poetry, but in the songs, they don't fit. Nothing on this album is supposed to fit together, which is something I think at least some people can agree with. I think 80/100 might be a little bit generous from me, even though some people would say that I'm crazy to give it a rating of that "low". I've heard this album like 6 times now, and it hasn't grown on me that much, so my rating is probably going to stay where it is now, forever.

i dont understand how people can only get into only shallow when you have to here knows when, when you sleep, sometimes and Soon etc etc.oh well. (Edited)

I used to love this album until I recently saw them live and they nearly made me go deaf, with a completely pretentious 20 minute feedback howl during 'You Made Me Realise' which was like having my head inside an aircraft engine. I can no longer listen to this pathetic band in the same way that I used to!

Pure classic. And a milestone for Shoegazing and heavy distortion Alternative music. I must say that this album isn't for everyone, it isn't an easy album to listen to the first time and enjoy. And if you enjoy this record, you enjoyed it the more you played it. Even if you may not think this album is a masterpiece or its overrated in the underground market. You cannot denie the influence it has has over the past decade and two, there simply isn't any band that has ever pulled off something like this and succeeded, let alone pull out genius and brilliance. Even though this album can drag on, it will still throw beautiful dream-like melodies at you even when its under a wall of distorted guitars, but still managed to make me love it anymore. Whenever I find a quality I dislike about this record, it immediately turns into a quality I love about this record. Because it's just all so beautiful to me.
