MY BLOODY VALENTINE- LOVELESS / 1991 / SIRE / SHOEGAZE, NOISE POP, DREAM POP
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
It's an album where it's cover art is completely indicative of the music on the record.
Bart Heeren So true. I love that about this album. Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures does the same thing and I feel that a lot of the Smiths' albums do that as well. They present a fully developed idea expressed through sound _and_ visuals.
Bart Heeren To paraphrase Don Draper, the cover looks like what is inside.
Ritual de lo Habitual
Incomprehensible? LOL
this is the second best example of an album cover representing the music.....first is unknown pleasures...obviously
This shit is definitely not for everyone. It's so awkward playing this in my car with someone who obviously doesn't enjoy it smh.
Haha
+goddosupiidoyuu i struggle with "omg i want to show this to my friends" and "if they don't understand its masterfulness, i will be so upset"
thats why you just put the volume on full blast
Def crank up the volume and don't let anyone talk.
Holy shit you underestimate people
I think in the style of the album you should have layered three reviews for loveless on top of each other.
And bankrupted your UA-cam channel
Lol, on both of those comments
To be fair it did take him 22 years to release his review of Loveless. Kevin Shields would be proud.
spit out my icey coke reading these comments - u guise know this mbv record well
He would have to do one review in a high voice
Without his glasses, he looks a little like Ca..... no it can't be true
That can't be true because Fantano has to be tired to look that way. Cal's eyes are just naturally like that.
say it...he looks like carl weathers, it's okay, I've been thinking that too
Ca...
Ca...
CARMELO ANTHONY, YOU'RE RIGHT
@Brendan Bellavia absolutely underrated reply
Ca-cium? he looks like da shit thats in milk and for da bones, i guess thats y he got the best teef in da game coz teef r bones annd he calcium
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU
OHH I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REAL
*snare x4*
*vacuum noises*
Rock me, Joey Santiago. Rock me, Joe!
AND I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW
AAANNNDDD IT WON'T BE LONG
Once in a while...
Then you take meeeee down...
then you walk-awayyyyyy

I rec the shonen knife cover.
You missed the one time opportunity to start with: "Shoethony Gazetano". My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
NeedleBrah
?
I don’t know if he had even came up with that bit yet when he released this review tbh
My 18yr old son, (a big Kanye fan), texted me earlier today.
He said 'Dad, I just listened to Loveless for the first time. You were right.'
Damn right I was right.
Best album ever.
Best son ever too.
He has good taste for liking kanye and loveless
Cute
This most likely did not happen
Zachary Elliott yea because nothing ever happens
C. Matt Scott Exeter?
If you listen closely enough on this album, you can hear the 80s turning into the 90s
That’s the perfect description of this bands sound
@@ericwoodard7005 So true
holy fuck. you're absolutely right.
That's a weird way of saying Doolittle by Pixies
@@zackzallie8735you mispelled Nevermind
Fantano is one of the only UA-camrs whose early content is as good as what he’s putting out now.
Lol, He's consistent in quality, but not ratings
Reynaldo Gloria according to who? It’s his opinion
His style has changed a lot though. I personally prefer his older, more lo-fi and relatable content. It’s a lot more professional and easy to digest
that's because it hasn't changed in like a decade
Good old times when people actually discussed the album and didn't flood the comment section with repetitive memes
i couldnt see his glasses in the thumbnail and i got worried someone beat this nerd up and took them
I feel like Fantano could handle himself when necessary
LMFAO
@@thepsychedelicsquirrels8347 fantano is like a 6 ft tall 220 pounds behemoth, dont know why someone would mess with him
This album is like beautiful pink noise to me
Nacho Saldaño it's like an ice cold glass of pink lemonade. it's refreshing and sweet
This album is like drinking fuzzy water mix with strawberry.
@@zackzallie8735its like a really sour but sweet strawberry
Godspeed My! Bloody Valentine
Sanic Youth! Haha. "Follow me, set me free, trust me and we will escape from Free City (Rhymes)."
Love me some post shoe
owen the needle drop is the only place I’ll find a video about my bloody valentine with a comment with goo as the prof pic and exmilitary in the same thread haha. Btw just saw death grips live two days ago for the first time. Shit was beyond alive
@@owen1686 i see you everywhere
Lift your loveless fists like antennas to heaven
“Only Shallow” has a guitar riff? I thought that was the sound of them throwing two detuned electric guitars down a flight of stairs and then looped.
That’s this entire album.
Yes it goes VREEEEW VROWWWWW
@@loubest3935 DA DA DA DA VREEEEEEEEE VROOOOOOOOO ˢˡᵉᵉᵖ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᵃ ᵖᶦˡˡᵒʷ
Doo doo doo doo
yes and it is awesome...
I agree with the descriptions about the guitar tone, but totally disagree with the dismissal of the songwriting. The melodies and chord progressions, and rich harmonies, are the best thing about this album. It is the part most shoegaze clones always get wrong. It is where the most unique ideas on the album are hidden, and creates the unique and transcendent mood.
David Marsilia I feel that both elements are equally important. the chord progressions and harmonies are beautiful but the way the sound is manipulated just enhances the emotion.
Yeah I actually think it's quite the fucking songwriting feat to put clear and concise melodies over these almost jazzy incoherent pitch shifting melted guitars. It's definitely the reason why no one has really come close to the level mbv is at. They got the fuzzed out guitars but no melodies.
Agreed without the sudden pulling of a couple of words or rhythms I probably wouldn’t like this album as much as I do. It’s enough to be like oh I can hear what they’re saying and damn this is a straight up lullaby. Considering both ends of the stick I just compared are equally great in this genre the Melodie’s like u said are just superb in all reality
I love this album so much it hurts. A true 10/10
'What You Want' is extremely underrated imo; it's probably the happiest song on the album and just personally reminds me of those euphoric summer days in New Zealand as a kid. It might be one of my favourite songs of all time.
When You Sleep and What You Want are probably my favorites ♥️
The combination of Blown a Wish into What You Want really heightens What You Want because of all the oohs
albums u should review:
slint - spiderland
the cure - disintegration
King Green He's confirmed he's doing Spiderland on the next classic's week
King Green I just listened to Slint - Tweez and it was great.
That's it?! ... Lol
yes
Yeah slint kicks ass
I just love the word "shoegaze". It's such a perfectly visual metaphor for what this type of music sounds like. When I see genre names like "black metal" and "death metal", as a layman I have no idea what the difference is.
There is so much difference between black and death metal, you'd have to be deaf not to hear it and see it as well. But aside that This loveless lp is pure classic shoe gaze, Aside band like Slowdive. There are black metal bands that mix in shoe gaze and post into their music. You'd never experience that with a death metal band eh.
@@slavasmrti3328 I said when I specifically look at just the names I can't tell much difference. I'm sure youre right about the sound differences.
Nah I can remember soaking in the verrrryyyy odd fact that’s what the genre was called ofc I got used to it but shoegaze was weird to me
@@walkerfreeman2697 it's called that because they stare at their feet pressing pedals cuz they have so many effects
Black metal is make up and death. Metal is costumes with spikey dildos
This album is a rare 11/10

This
Doing a review immediately after waking up, just like how Bilinda used to record her vocals :D
Exactly what i thought!
my first thought is...are the glasses real. cause that would be the first plop.
Baccano pfp spotted
"Is that a woodchipper?"
No it's Merzbow
even merzbow fans cant differenciate the two😂
I'm going through a second wave of MBV obsession, and I feel like Kevin Shield's sunny songwriting is too overlooked. They're simple songs, but after I wrapped my head around the psychedelic tones, I've become so attached to the simple chord progressions and shyly sexual themes. The emotions are sedated and confused, but still very intense to me.
I can’t believe I’ve listened to Loveless dozens of times and never realized Loomer has no drums
it does, they’re just kind of buried in the guitars
As far as i can tell the drums are only tom hits but mixed very quietly
To Here Knows When honestly has to be my favorite song of all time. That's kind of a bold claim as a music enthusiast, but god damn, listening to the song is like seeing a diamond encrusted tidal wave destroy a neon-drenched hong kong in 100x slow motion, on drugs.
i hated it the first 10 or so times i heard it, then one day was like...OHHHHHHH RIGHT
and now it's one of my favourites.
Karl Fetsch Old comment but yeah. After all these years it still amazes me. The intro feels like falling into an illusion.
Karl Fetch Haha that description is ace. It definitely is the best track of the album, this track is what loveless is all about to me. If you don't "get" this track, you don't get Loveless imo.
Good one.
soon is best, yeah they milked it, but righteously so
I will admit it took me a few listens before I fully realized the greatness of this album. Then one night, as I was listening to it laying on the couch, it hit me. Shields just went beyond everything on this album - a masterpiece for anyone who really knows and appreciates music.
yea, the production is mind blowing. must’ve been so hard to do with how busy all the mixes are
since you reviewed this, can you do one on Slowdive's Souvlaki?
Ok wow this was 6 years ago
Still need the souvlaki review though
A b yeah
@Conrad Nickelson why do you say that?
@Conrad Nickelson I hope not!
This album is a marvel. How could you not fall hopelessly in love with it?
TemporaryFamineShip because he's loveless
"just woke up... not too long ago"
and by that he means he was baked as hell and listening to loveless
It's seriously one of my favorite albums of all time. This thing is it's own world, a drug and it can take you places on headphones in the dark.
The album even works in an opposite setting, with the sun out and chilly weather. It’s a very hypnagogic feeling and makes me nostalgic but keeps me wanting to move forward. Very powerful album.
@@_PuppetMaster86 duuuude hypnogagic is the perfect word for that, it’s legit how I found the album waking up to, to here knows when. Was such a ethereal experience. Also sorry ab my grammar. Tried making it digestible since some words became redundant.
maybe next classics week.
Ok
@@nek0raa ok
Alright 👍
Ok!
1979-1991 underground rock was the peak of music; Hardcore punk, grunge, sludge metal, noise pop, dream pop, post punk, thrash metal, alternative rock, shoegaze, screamo and emocore were all birthed from this time era.
66-94 id say. cant forget acts like The Velvet Underground
Don't forget post-hardcore :3
I’d say 55-20
From 1965 all the way up to 2009 there was so much great music in rock. The early 2010s were underwhelming, but after 2015 we really saw a revival! Rock continues to evolve, as it's always done.
1956 is when the golden age of music started because the album format became standard. The golden age of music will end when the album format goes out of fashion in my opinion.
Probably the loudest show I ever attended. Amazing.
Can’t believe you didn’t mention “Blown A Wish”. Belinda’s vocal melody is absolutely heavenly
My primary school mate's mum is Belinda Butcher. I didn't even realise until we went to different schools :(
you got to be kidding
Bilinda has children?
Bilinda is in her late 50s of course she has kids wtf
@@cl8804 this comment is funny as fuck to me lol
so irish have mums just like brits, eh?
*BACK ON SPOTIFY AT LAST*
I'm only still a teen but MBV and Shoegaze makes me feel alive and makes me look in a world in a different way. I agree with you that it is not for everyone because it's a album that makes you think and some ways makes you feel that you're the only one in this world that's really seeing the world and everyone outside is just gone. For a human being that feels like they're worthless and they're nothing I would definitely recommend this album and genre to them. Shoegaze made me feel important.
andrewwsk8 what about now?
Based
@@WildOhana lol just another fucking genre
@@WildOhana I'm just kidding. I CRINGE at this comment I made when I was 15/16. Shoegaze is an amazing genre, different types of styles and innovators came out of it. But when you're angsty teen and you have these albums on repeat, you kinda grow out of it. I still listen to Shoegaze and Dream Pop today but it doesn't have a profound effect on me when I first started listening to it. Like the first time you start listening to Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine, there's nothing like it. But once you start listening closely to modern pop music, you will hear that influence all around. Whether it'd be in your traditional pop format or in the more experimental sound.
Still accolades to Kevin Shields but it's not the same when you're in your early 20s.
But seeing them live is a whole completely different story. That is where you can see the legacy live on forever.
andrewwsk8 haha thanks for responding! I was really curious if you would respond - I hope traveling 6 years in the last was at least a little interesting :)
I could've sworn it was Cal Chuchesta talking before you put your glasses on
Loveless is hands down my favorite album of all time, which is why My Bloody Valentine also happens to be my favorite band of all time. I was able to appreciate this album the moment I first listened to it in full, right off the bat. Their music just suits my overall personality and outlook in life. The great thing about Loveless is that it can be appreciated in so many ways imaginable. You can listen to it either while meditating or partying out. Words alone are not enough to describe the overall impact of this album that made MBV peerless and in a league of their very own.
Loveless has so many levels, truly one of the greatest albums Ive heard
Loveless is easily one of the best albums of all time IMO. I can't think of too many albums this good. It's like a perfectly written book. Front back to front. Every song leads so well into the next. And more than anything makes me feel....so many things. Some good some bad.
Ahh, I always listen to this album before I go to sleep. Not because it's boring, but because I want my dreams to be like Loveless.
Oh, I see you listen when you sleep eh
Im sad and I listen to loveless every night
loveless is literally the greatest album ever made
TrentTheSuperVillian You mean Jonathan Mathis - Angry Kid
You mean Fuck Off - Shit Bag
TrentTheSuperVillian literally yes
you spelled Blood Sugar Sex Magik wrong
+joe ingram hahahahahahaha no
I was fortunate to be in college when "loveless" was released, and college radio was the only place you were likely to hear MBV.
All you had to say is "Perfect".
The guitar sounds like what I’ve always wanted guitars to sound like.
Thick, ethereal, emotional, and psychedelic.
"My Bloody Valentine is a cool band, have you heard of them?"
"Yeah, they're my favorite metal band!"
Freakin' high school...:(
Best album of the 90's, it's a trip
For me it's The Downward Spiral.
Okc
It’s a heavy 11 light 12. Nobody had or has done it like MBV on Loveless. It’s perfect.
Fantano sounds like he’s progressively getting higher while talking about the album
do cocteau twins !
why, you dont have enough downers in your cabinet?
Loveless is simply the best piece of music ever. I never fail to be amazed by the beauty of the music in this fantastic set of songs. I will adore this record until I die and nothing will come close to it. It is simply that good. Modern music perfection, and it is over 20 years old already.
I first heard this album in 1990 and it changed the course of everything I would listen to from that point forward. That was nearly 25 years ago, and I won't ever forget it. This is perhaps my favorite album...Ever.
Adrian Constantyn it came out in 91’...
my favorite album of all time.
The weird thing about MBV is that when you see them live they really do rock, the rhythm section is really driving and much more up front than on the record.
but you also become deaf from the 120db
I just feel grateful for Sofia Coppola to introduce Shoegaze to me in Lost in Translation. "Loveless" is noisy and vulnerable and a perfect album to listen alone in a room with headphones on at 3 am in the morning.
Fuckin same. I was going through a rough time and decided to watch Lost in Translation, I had seen it a couple times before but for some reason on that viewing a couple years ago the music really popped out at me and I went on down the shoegaze rabbit hole. Thank you Sofia Coppola!
Also did you know that Kevin Shields composed 4 songs specifically for the movie?
Ugh KPOP styled like Our Cultures
Disgusting
The presence of the woodchipper is perfect, and could only have been made more perfect with the addition of a vacuum cleaner
I remember 'Sometimes' became one of my favourite songs after I watched Lost In Translation, very thankful for watching that movie as a young boy and finding out about this band
No other album has had more of impact on me on my first listen.
It's strange to have an album like Loveless where you can have fun just sitting back and relaxing while listening to it on your monitor speakers, or trying to dissect them with a good DAC, amp and headphones. It's really interesting to try and see how all the guitar parts come together in their particular ways, again, especially if you have a good pair of cans on you.
On a different note, I think Loveless and Siamese Dream have a lot in common, both tonally and in the way many of the songs are structured. Obviously there's a lot more rock in Siamese Dream, but it still has that nice shoegazey quality to it which I often associate with songs like "Luna" and "Mayonnaise." Hell, "Daydream" from Gish sounds like an offshoot of "Lose My Breath."
Sorry, I just rambled on for a bit and I realized some of the stuff makes no sense outside the context of my mind.
***** lel
Billy Corgan actually said that Daydream was their attempt to replicate Loveless
(Sorry for replying to a 4 y/o comment)
watching this is 2022 feels like melon is wearing one of those instagram face filters that makes you look like a baby
lmfaoo u right
this is an album i listen to before bed, and i do mean that in a very good way.
"is that a wood chipper"
I'm pretty sure I've thought that while listening to MBV. Great album indeed...
A classic case of a slowburner, this album keeps on giving however many sittings. Also, I firmly believe you have to sit through its entirety, picking songs apart just takes something away from its collective beauty.
I really like this album. I picked it up on a whim at Barnes & Noble not knowing what it was and was pleased with my discovery.
Wow sorry but this totally misses the point. NO ONE else was anywhere near MBV when Loveless dropped. They weren't "shoegaze", that's a genre name invented for the bands that tried to get the same sounds and failed (often in a beautiful way).This is not lo-if either - Sheilds' production is incredibly detailed and magically captures the "infinite horizon" of wave after wave of guitar and feedback. It is bang on for the style and purpose of the songs.Another point that revisionist recent reviews miss, is that at the time of its release, it felt like a slightly stationary or backwards move, given the incredible sonic leaps they had made on the glider and tremolo eps which preceded Loveless. Personally, their high water mark was the Tremolo ep, opener "to here knows when" is still unsurpassed as the furthest out there pop song I have ever heard. Not a single guitar band has been able to pick up the torch and break new ground, though Seefeel did some interesting stuff that meshed the Shields guitar templates with a more electronic sounding underlay and beats.
Late to the party. Listened to it for the first time today. Fucking amazing. I knew I was sleeping on it, and today I found out what I was missing.
That was a whole immersive, washed-out vibe of cool
The great thing about loveless is that unlike most music, you have to look into the music instead of the music coming straight out to you
When I first listened to this album, I was underwhelmed. On my second listen, it “clicked.” I immediately went to Best Buy and bought it on CD.
I remember buying Loveless on Valentine's day in 1991 after hearing Only shallow on 120 Minutes. There were bands with similar sounds doing similar sounds with guitar like Lush and Curve. Still there are so many differences mainly with how bands like Lush layered the guitar on their recordings. Shields has said in interviews he didn't layer and doesn't use much guitar effects. I seem to recall he said he gets a lot of the sound with heavy volume and reverb. The album from one perspective is a mess but it's beautiful mess. The production was never my favorite part but it's such a seminal record and I hear different sounds 29 years after I bought it. I rank this and Pale Saints - In Ribbons as the best shoegaze records. You hit the points on the sonic qualities. Hopefully we get a few more releases by Shields.
Didn't realize that Bullet For My Valentine was such an influential and important band.
I remember reading a book on dinosaurs from the 90's and one of the pictures had that same tint of pink as the album cover. So, so awesome...
the opening riff on only shallow is actually the greatest thing of all time
Didn't read past 3 pages of comments, but the Shirt being worn is especially appropriate on at least 2 levels. 1. No Fun, Not Ever (Enemies List Home Recordings/ Dan & Tim) might be the mission statement of getting this album recorded 2. HANL Deathconsciousness crosses many genres, but definitely owes a debt to MBV
1:50 no that’s not a wood chipper. His neighbor just turned on some Sunn O)))
the next classics you do should be Psychocandy

10/9 lGN
My experience with my bloody valentine is similar to how people describe captain beefheart. The first time I heard “only shallow”, it was kind of weird and I didn’t know what to make of it…then I found myself wanting to hear the “weeeeee, weeeeeeee” song with relaxing vocals again…then I checked out loveless and by the second or third spin, it was one of my favorite alt rock records. Returning to the opening analogy, the big difference is that captain beefheart never really *moved* me in the way that mbv ultimately did.
the album feels like taking acid in hot tub full of molly
I saw MBV around the time this album was released,the loudest gig I have ever attended...it took my ears 3 days to recover...and someone who works at the venue told me later that they had spent four hours doing a soundcheck.Really? Surely they just turned everything up to a Spinal Tap Number 11.Awesome stufff...I also recommend Isn't Everything and the compilation of their E.P.'s.
i first heard this album a few months ago, and for some reason i was expecting Bullet For My Valentine, which was not what i got. i absolutely despised this record, mainly from that expectation. im trying this one again, and its actually quite nice
The lacking of melon memes in place of discussion is refreshing.
Really solid review, I never tire of this album, bought it on the day of release. Repeated listens (literally hundreds) intensify the hypnotic power it has. I can never get bored with Loveless because like a tumultuous waterfall or a campfire it appeals directly to my mindful preset and I am forever lost in the beautiful moment of wonky noise.
i cant believe i only just found this album. I feel like a heart eye emoji
The Smashing Pumpkins is one of my favorite bands ever. Been listening to them since I was in elementary school(ahm 16 now). So, it wasn't really difficult for me to get into this album and totally dig it. Great band and great album.
Smashing Pumpkins sound almost nothing like MBV
They have some similar qualities.
Taimir Gore they are both good, but their sound is not even close
They both have a dreamy kind of sound. Fuzzy guitars is another. You're not gonna get one of them confused for the other, but they share some things.
i think he means more about gish
gish was completely inspired by mbv, if you listen to the beginning of rinocerous then you sort of get the vibe
Maybe Ride's debut album Nowhere? I feel that this is also a seminal shoegaze album that is slowly being swepped under a pile of forgotten bands.
I've always thought of Loveless as a rock album with all the hooks taken away. There's nothing to cling on to. Your just set sail in a sea of noise.
Melon's face looked like he had just listened to this album
He used distortion as well, and all fuzz is technically a distortion effect. The two pedals Corgan used on Siamese Dream were an IC Big Muff and an MXR Distortion +. Even the Big Muff is often considered a distortion and not a fuzz at all, but there's a lot of debate around that.
And new to your ears doesn't mean new to the genre.
I'd like to see you review "Boards of Canada" some day.
your review reminded me those reviews that pink floyd had back in the 70s where all those critics were obsessed for the use of machines and sound effects and they totally forget the amazing music they were hearing...
and also reminded me the reaction a friend (fan of REO Speed Wagon) had when he listened Loveless...
you made me realize would be pretty awesome for you to review.
Loveless was a shock after only listening to Slowdive for shoegaze.
I like it
To me loveless sounds like being in a room and having a Trippy expansiveness of a grander reality you could never fully understand. Overlaying realities meshed together...
I bet The Wire's "Pink Flag" is comming up next, since Anthony menctioned it in several of his reviews and is is also showing on the screen in this one review
I've never heard an album that feels so fucking long when it's only around average album length.
Funny you keep saying how the album isn't about the songwriting yet still has super catchy parts and hooks all over it. Lyrics are really strong too. Vocally and instrumentally, although very simplistic compositionally, this still blows a lot of other song focused rock albums out of the water for me.
you should listen to "Dynamo" by Soda Stereo, contemporary of this album, southamerican shoegaze best
Dynamo is a very underrated album, and has a killer shogaze sound. One of my favorite Soda Records. Another great album, unrelated to shogaze is Cerati's-Bocanada.
Yagar Indeed a fantastic album.
Yagar DESPIERTAME, CUANDO PASE EL TEMBLOR!!! *Levanta su encendedor al aire*
El rock argentino tiene una calidad que es impresionante que no tenga más reconocimiento mundial. Creo que a +theneedledrop le gustarían muchas cosas de nuestro rock, me lo imagino haciendo un video sobre Artaud de Pescado Rabioso.
No negaré que me gusta, está en mi sangre como latino el amar el rock en español, pero honestamente dudo mucho que a Antony le guste tanto como a los latinos, ya que no es realmente interesante, y no estoy seguro de si el sabe español, así que dudo que entienda muchas de las letras crípticas que tenían estas bandas. En cuanto a sonido, no son nada impresionantes, son pegajosas, pero no mucho más allá.
I got this album after I saw them at FYF. I listened to it as I drove home from LA to Montana. Watching the scenery pass by and listening to the hazy, drifting, gorgeous tones had quite an effect on me. It makes the world even more beautiful.
Please do Cocteau Twins - Treasure and Throbbing Gristle - 20 Jazz Funk Greats !!
