Default My Bloody Valentine

Does anyone else feel that My Bloody Valentine dont get enough credit?... Loveless is a beautiful album in my opinion, it just has a great sound and feel to it, i wish they would get back together to make another album, any thoughts?

Love em - tho a biggger fan of Jesus & Mary Chain and Ride. Loveless I feel gets too much attention, but it's certainly a great album!

Dunno, but they are not emo by any means...They have a very avant garde sound, not for everybody.

Its part of their sound...I personaly like Kevin Shields approach to guitar, its pretty unique, no one has ever really used the guitar like its a drone instrument before...I personaly love the tone as well.

Hmm, I guess, but whenever I listen to Loveless I just feel like the music is all etherial and doesnt have any foundation and it's annoying.

Slint are WAY better at using droning guitars.

IYO

But i think My Bloody Valentine were a very important and influencial band in those respects, the whole shoegazer movement really took off because of them. And i think Loveless is very melodic, those who say it isnt hasnt heard it more than once. The guitar is their musical canvas for which they paint over it with melody, rather than the typical rock band which uses bass and drums instead, its a very ambient style...The music is loud and noisy, but it isnt heavy or hard, its very mellow and soft in spirit, thats why i like it.
