... is a really great band. I know Loveless is their best known album, but I fucking LOVE Ecstacy and Wine... every song sounds exactly the same, the same drum rolls and shimmering dual guitars and singing style, but I can't get enough. Strawberry Wine, You've Got Nothing, Can I Touch You, Never Say Goodbye... mmm, this album tastes good, I want to eat it. But they haven't officially broken up, have they? I wonder what they're up to. What are some other good similar bands to them, the ''shoegazing'' bands or whatever they're called? But they haven't officially broken up, have they? |

check out low.. as for MBV, it's kinda just kevin shields now, everyone else left the band. then again, he was always the chief songwriter and lead guitarist anyway. he's recorded many albums since loveless but not released any of them. you can hear him on the 2 most recent primal scream albums. i hope some day he releases new music. |

I repeated myself twice in my original post about them breaking up... I apologize to everyone for being so silly. *slaps forehead Loveless is OK, I prefer Ecstacy and Wine and some of their EPs to that, actually. |

I'm in the Cloud Fortress, trying to collect all those power chrystals. Fucking annoying flying electrocution machines... this game has lots of annoying badguys... those goddamn flying, laughing mini dinos are total assholes. I'm 44% through it. Pretty long game. |

cutting and pasting from an old thread :^) jesus and mary chain*, lush, ride, my bloody valentine*, medicine, slowdive, pale saints*, for against, catherine wheel, boo radleys, chapterhouse, loop, seely * = my favorites Loveless is one of my favorite albums ever...but most of their Ecstacy and Wine and later stuff is great. Some of their really early stuff is awful. They sounded a bit like a bad version of the Cramps. |

I honestly don't understand what the big deal is with My Bloody Valentine... They sound pretty mediocre to me. A lot of the artists I listen to mention them when discussing their influences, specifically their 'Loveless' record. It's the same thing with The Velvet Underground.. Nico was brilliant on her own(one of my favorite artists in fact) and I like some of Lou Reed's later work but I guess I just don't "get" Velvet Underground... I like a few of the songs off of the banana album but it's nothing amazing. Am I missing something? |

'Isn't Anything' is almost equal in my opinion with 'Loveless', but the two are almost completely different; the former being much, much less fuzzy and droney (which could arguably be a drawback if this is the style you prefer). I think quality-wise 'Loveless' is alot stronger and sounds more timeless, but "Isn't Anything' definitely has some beautiful gems and is well worth the money if you're a fan. As for other shoegazer bands, I love the Cocteau Twins (and some Lush). They (cocteau) are less abrasive and more dreamy rather than fuzzy, but they are very strong. I would reccommend 'Blue Bell Knoll' or 'Treasure'. |

Try "Texture" off their first album "Ferment." I don't think they bettered this album and it's certainly the most "shoegazerish" of the bunch. |

i hope their reunion/new album is gonna come out as something better than a pink-floyd-dinosaur style reunion, with nothing new to add to music history |

isn't most of the new album stuff from like 93 and 96? that gives me a little hope. |
