are you stoned or with a lover when listening to it (or
both)? because it can get pretty boring otherwise.

however, when in either of those situations it is absolutely
sublime.

Nah, it's all a matter of taste. I think it's wicked but it
is an aquired taste.

it sounds very dated but if you listen to it on its own
terms its a brilliant album. except for "what you want".
that track is just unlistenable dross.

perfect album for rainy sunday afternoons

I'm a big fan of Durutti Column, the early albums
particularly, ... there's the classic "Vini Reilly", "The
Sporadic Recordings" and "Bread and Circuses" are other
faves of mine.

I prefer "Isn't Anything" over "Loveless". "Soon" was meant
for the aborted "Glider" album and that's why it's tacked on
the end, get the EP for the other 3 TOP tracks on that.
Though they were STILL meant to be working on Glider ....

Loveless - classic fucking album! Anyone saying anything
else is a pretentious retard.

really i was not into the whole thing right away. "Soon" and
"Blown a Wish" sucked me in though. over a period of seven
years it has been something i wanted to keep and enjoy.

if you're not into that type of stuff it usually takes
something pretty special for someone to say that it's good,
and i think it's good.

for Soon

The trio of Kevin Shields, Colm O'Ciosiog and Bilinda
Butcher (bassist Debbie Googe is not present at the
sessions) are reportedly re-recording five songs that the
band abandoned for their 1989 EP Glider. The EP, released in
between 1988's Isn't Anything and the group's undisputed
masterpiece, the dream-pop landmark Loveless, was originally
meant to be a nine-song full-length album, but the band, as
usual, was took too long to record it and eventually caved
to pressure from the industry and released the four finished
songs as an EP.


From 2003, mind you.

Word. And Only Shallow is one of the best opening tracks
ever. Got to see them live this summer. Fantastic. Ten
minutes of pure noise at the end.

something.

before i knew anything about mbv, my guess was that loveless
must have been released in 1997. dated? timeless! what does
that mean anyway? saying something is dated? everything is
dated.

on some days i prefer isn't anything, others, not. i'm sick
of just having these 2, ii want other recordings by them! i
know they're owt there...

literally speaking, everything is dated. I just meant that
it really sounds like it was recorded at a particular time -
although your jugdement has proven me wrong! I'm sure if My
Bloody Valentine had all been born fifteen years later then
Loveless would sound a lot different; would have more of the
big grandiose feel of stuff like Sigur Ros and Godspeed.

Surely you can't deny that stuff like Analogue Bubblebath 3
and Classics sounds dated.
