Loveless by My Bloody Valentine (CD, Nov-1991, Sire Records USA)

It didn't take long for me to realize after relocating to Georgia that I was in need of a copy of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. I had misplaced my other copy of it. It's a landmark recording that many critics consider to be flawless. Years of struggling to top themselves creatively led this band in 1991 to present this album, one that placed them far beyond their imitators and is to this day a "tough act to follow." The roaring guitars tear through 10 transcendental songs before settling into the rhythms of "Soon," a danceable rocker. But listener, be warned: coded and layered into the pulsating grooves and soundscapes is resonant angst and heartache. This music is not for the weak of heart.

It's a great album, a killer price, great condition. It's cheaper than you could even hope to get it used except it's brand new.

An epic sprawling album of highs and lows, a shoegazer masterpeice. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in post-punk.

Would we have bands like Starflyer 59 without this album? My Bloody Valentine started a trend that countless bands tried (some better than others) to emulate. Noisy, experimental, and emotional! Even after all these years Loveless sounds fresh and new. 5 Huge Stars.
