>Scaruffi gave it a 9/10>Christgau gave is an A->4.25 on RYM>Melonman likes it to o algo>One of the few /mu/ core albums that isn't shit on on nu-/mu/How has Loveless managed to remain nearly universally loved?
>>131393615It's a masterpiece. If you don't get it then trust me its not everyone else it's you
>>131393662I get it, but plenty of other masterpieces don't get such acclaim.
>>131393662>If you don't get it then trust me its not everyone else it's you
>>131393615It's a very good album to put on when a BLACK bull is fucking your wife. You just have to skip touched, if this had no touched it would be 10/10
>>131393615It's reverbed rock music. It takes something ingrained in our heads and flips the script with the textures.It's very boring
>>131393806Fuck off contrarian
Every song is about 2 minutes too long. The writing is middling at best, and songs like Loomer, Come in Alone, and Soon are fucking awful.
>>131394000>Soon>fucking awfulWorst opinion I read on this board today
>>131394000you're really gonna diss /ourguys/ Loomer, Come in Alone, and Soon like that
>>131394000post top 12
>irrelevant critics like it guys so that means you guys must like it as well!!No, this still sucks. Shoegaze is a meme genre.
>>131393615pretty awful cheesy slop with a pretty good novelty gimmick of a noise production.midwits can't get over it
>>131394000Micropenis spotted
>>131393615It's a cool album. Like most influential albums its cooler than the stuff it influenced because it wasn't confined by Shoegaze's boundaries. Just people doing what they saw fit. 8/10
>>131393615Because it's the last album on this board that still has somehow maintained a culture of "say something bad about it and you get brow-beaten" for some reason. It's literally just people self-reinforcing that you can't critique it. There's nothing particularly remarkable out the album compared to other /mu/core, in spite of what people will screech when you point it out.
>>131399723>Like most influential albums its cooler than the stuff it influenced because it wasn't confined by Shoegaze's boundaries.This, it's like how on Black Sabbath there are things like harmonicas and heavy blues riffs. People today will tear their hair out screaming that's not metal music if you do that stuff today, but literally the essential founding metal album had it. People really love to winnow a genre down into a single narrow point until it's so narrow as to be boring.
>>131399823>People today will tear their hair out screaming that's not metal music>but literally the essential founding metal album had it.their early stuff isnt metal
>>131399940See, here we have one of those genre-winnowers.
>>131394000wasted trips
>>131393615cuz it's good! :O
>>131393615Thr album was written and recorded with pure sincerity
>>131393839There’s not even a shred of traditional “reverb” “chorus” “phaser” or “flange” on the entire LP. Boring?Listen to the isolated guitar track for BLOWN A WISH and tell me Shields wasn’t having his Brian Wilson moment… https://youtu.be/dN9uy7a1qAI?si=q_JCC0FOwbwbNdnD
>>131399940>their early stuffOther than the fact that you're wrong, at what point in their career would you personally consider them heavy metal? Their first three albums were released within the span of a single 12 month period
>>131400317>There’s not even a shred of traditional “reverb” “chorus” “phaser” or “flange”just cause (you) cant tell what's going on and find it amazing and bewildering doesnt mean it actually is
>>131393615>>Scaruffi gave it a 9/10fun fact: Scaruffi used to consider MBV a mediocre band, you can infer this from his italian-only page about Drop Nineteens:https://www.scaruffi.com/vol5/dropnine.html>The first and most prominent American followers of My Bloody Valentine were Drop Nineteens (Greg Ackell and Paula Kelley on vocals, Motohiro Yasue on lead guitar)—a band as mediocre as their models.>Once again, an American invention (Neil Young) returns to the US after undergoing a process of British vulgarization (My Bloody Valentine).
>>131399823It's funny listening to classical music where songs with different tempos/moods are just labeled as that and composers are just able to do that. Meanwhile metal-manchildren need whole ass genres for a specific kind of mood and shoehorn a band into that. I like to imagine people in the 17th century being like "Aaahhh Vivaldi is making Largo music! He's supposed to be Allergo-Baroque act what a poser!". It's weird how styles have become genres
