Product Description

From Amazon.com

My Bloody Valentine's entire career has been aiming toward the perfect guitar noise that Kevin Shields has in his head: a pure, warm, androgynous but deeply sexual rush of sound. Loveless is overwhelming, with Shields and Bilinda Butcher's guitars and voices blending into each other until they become a distant orchestra, the rhythm section striding in majestic lockstep, and occasional bursts of dance rhythms (as on the single "Soon") buoying the live instruments' warp and drift. Furiously loud but seductive rather than aggressive, the album flows like a lava stream from one track into another, subsuming everything in the mix into its blissful roar, and pulsing like a lover's body. --Douglas Wolk

Album Description

After years of rumours My Bloody Valentine, the seminal indie swirling guitar legends of the late '80s, are back! 2008 will see the band re-unite for the first time in almost 20 years with a sold out UK Tour and several international festival dates already confirmed. The original line up of shoegazing legends, with their awe inspiring mix of feedback guitar and indistinct lyrics, have influenced countless bands since and are now rumoured to be back in the studio working on new material. Anticipation from fans and media is riding high at the moment and tie in with this, SonyBMG will be releasing re-mastered versions of their celebrated two studio albums "Isn't Anything" and "Loveless" repackaged in to digipacks. Both albums have been re-mastered by front man Kevin Shields resulting in a significantly enhanced listening experience. Additionally, a second version of the bands most successful album "Loveless" has been included which has been mastered from the original analogue tapes and never before released. A must for any fan ! Both albums will also be available as single sleeve vinyl editions.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome, Jul 26 2008

By	T. Bigney (Nova Scotia, canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Is there anything new that can possibly be said about Loveless? Any stone as yet unturned? So much has been written about this album, and so much of it reads the same: "It's about tension, noise vs. melody, ugliness vs. beauty... It's a return to the womb... It foregrounds the background and favors texture over development... Kevin Shields is Brian Wilson... Smart went crazy..." It's all true, of course. There's no arguing with any of that, just as there's little reason to talk about this album which so many people love. When it comes to Loveless, we understand each other so well that we nod and grunt like we're standing in front of Hank Hill's house. For me, it's been that way for some time: Seeing the letters "M", "B" and "V" next to each other in a review of another band's album is enough to get said record on my "music to check out" list. I suspect I'm not alone.

Now that Kevin Shields is in better health and is slowly returning to the scene, he's explained that Loveless was something of an albatross for him, that he never could find a proper way to follow it. He should be comforted by the fact that no one else has been able to follow it, either. I've long dreamt of an album that was "Like Loveless, but more," but I haven't found it. And so many hundreds of albums have tried. Perhaps this is the sound of a single idea perfected. We should move on and continue to explore the vast spectrum of sound and feeling music provides, but we'll always return to Loveless for what it alone can deliver.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the greatest albums of the 1990's..., Jul 14 2004

By	lost_weasel (200 bars) - See all my reviews

in 1991 came the already classic "Loveless". the rockers "My Bloody Valentine" made their rare debut with "This is Your Bloody Valentine" in 1984. then, four years later they released "Isn't Anything", but the album they made them special... the album that made them famous in the rock genre... was "Loveless". which is easily one of the greatest albums out there. what a incredible 48 minutes it is, with amazing tracks like "Only Shallow", "When You Sleep", "Sometimes", and their amazing ending to the album... "Soon. but theres absoulutely not one bad track... those are just the stand-outs. Only Shallow has some of the greatest streaming guitars ever. theres always those complaints with the band with the vocals they can't hear and not nearly enough bass. but if you listen to the record a couple more times... you realize that doesn't matter.

When i first purchased "Loveless" and listened to it, i was a bit disappointed. It got so much acclaim as "one of the greatest albums ever!" so i kept trying, then one day I was listening to it... and... it just... CLICKED! it just clicked to me how beautiful this album really is. its just so many different things! want me to tell you how different? i've wrote over 50 reviews on CD albums here at Amazon, and when I i clicked the "recommended" button on Loveless, it had more than half of the CDs i reviewed. Spiritualized, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Neutral Milk Hotel, and much much more. this part of this review may seem useless to you, but i'm just saying... if you buy any album from the '90s... make it this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars I've tried. Really., Jul 12 2004

By	Sam Saunders "law student" (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really have tried with all my might to like and appreciate this record, simply because of all the wonderful things I have heard about it. In the end, I just can't do it.

The first thing that kind of puts me off is the complete lack of dynamics anywhere on the disc. There are two: on and off. And I can't help but feel that for each song Shields just picked a key and kind of fuzzed around until it sounded right. I'll give you that some of this noise actually sounds pretty cool when the layering is done correctly -- I do like the intro to "I Only Said".

I read some reviews that compared "Loveless" to Philip Glass and Debussy. I just can't hear it. I can't get past the part of me that thinks that most of the record sounds like whale song played through a slew of pedals and other toys. The fact that the band nearly bankrupted a whole record albel recording this beast is beyond me. Where did the money go? (and yes, I have listened to it on the Sennheisers) I don't find the production value to be all that spectacular.

For my money, this is not one of the best records of the 90s, as has been stated. This sounds like what would happen if Sonic Youth covered Radiohead's "Kid A", and its not all that fabulous. I think I will stick to Hum's "Downward is Heavenward" for my expansive, spacey, fuzzy, and celestial rock songs.
