Loveless is an absolute masterpiece - boo boo's description of how the guitar acts as musical canvas is pretty spot on. It's a wonderful album to listen to.

What makes "My Bloody Valentine" better than the usual slasher of the era are good production values (looks more expensive than the usual slasher), some nice location work (especially the mine), and it does have some gritty atmosphere. Unfortunately, the movie is still weak in the acting, writing etc. departments, and even slasher fans will occasionally wince at some dumbness.

Loveless and Isn't Anything are both great albums. They both have their weak and strong songs but you can't argue with material like Come in Alone, When You Sleep and (When You Wake) You're Still in a Dream!

Loveless might be a bit overrated, it is not a flat out masterpiece, but it certainly deserves a lot of credit.

Loveless is one of those albums where if you listen to it at the perfect moment you can completely lose yourself in it, completely overwhelmed by its beauty and lost in a sea of sound. In my opinion, it truly is a masterpiece.

I like the mixing on Loveless. Its completely upside down, the bass is practically nonexistent and the drums, the thing that would traditionally be driving the songs, is pushed right to the back. The guitar is much louder than everything else and you cn hardly hear the words. Funny way of mixing an album but thats what gives it its hazy, blurry character.

This is why I don't think of My Bloody Valentine in relation to the so-called "shoegazing" scene. Ride, great as they were, never sounded remotely like them.

Yeah I agree with that, it is a complete bone fide masterpiece when it ends up dragging you into its own little world. Other times I may skip a couple of tracks. For the former though it is still one of my favourite albums.

There's not much i can say about Loveless that hasn't already been said. Wether you're daydreaming to it or concentrating on the music, its brilliant.

Listening to it too loud gives me a headache though :s
