There is no album that sounds more like its album cover than this one.
Radiohead's "A Moon Shaped Pool"
@kueller est-elle
@CumKittie
Any radiohead album i guess too, kid a, in rainbows, and ok computer are perfect
@Thomas Corley I mean i know this is subjective but to me the colors used and the background(which idk what is but i assume melted metal?) feel warm and that's how the album sounds like. Like the guitars on 15 Step, Reckoner or Jigsaw are some of the warmest instruments I've heard.
I must say this album hits different when you're half-asleep, in the backseat of a car driving through the endless flat fields of the Midwest.
PREACH
Or Japan
That was literally how I listened to it for the first time. ON THE DAY OF ME WRITING THIS.
I downed a bottle of white wine with my mates on a night train home from Vienna and put this album on. Fantastic experience can recommend. Just remember to not buy a bottle with cork unless you want to get crafty in the train with ways to open it
Including only shallow?
Kevin Shields, a memeber of the band, said that the brain has a certain point where if the music hits a certain frequency, It makes you high. So seeing how he goes from normal to all loopy and weird was conformation of what he said.
Fr hearing only shallows or when you sleep I just get into such a great mood, the music is great
@@walkerfreeman2697 i get that especially with only shallow
Not that I don’t believe you but do you have a source for this? I’d really like to dive deeper into this but haven’t been able to find a statement or anything from Kevin
@@synicritic524 I think he said that in his interview with Fender on youtube. This album definitely feels like it puts you in an altered state and I love it
to here knows when is the perfect example of this for me, that song starts and my neck just gives way
I thought you were going to cry at one point
Julia Collins first time I heard loveless I already had it on vinyl and I listened to it back to back for 7 hours until sunrise laughing and crying hysterically on my floor nearly the entire duration
I cried at the end of Soon the first time hearing this. Instantly became my favourite album ever, probably won't be replaced
@@matthewevans3718 i thought it was boring as fuck
First time hearing loveless (which was the other day) I was on the brink of tearing up after hearing When You Sleep
Will Dean nobody cares go somewhere else
6:15 The moment you finally get it
i only said is my favourite song on the album
@@kyleyerbury5043 It's my fav too! My only beef is that I can't play it loud enough.
0:00 This edible ain’t shit
0:26 Hello President Lincoln
YEAH BOY IM READY FOR THAT VREEEEEEEW VREEEEEOOOOW
Lmao its hilarious how I just know you're talking about Only Shallow
I had a full-on crying session kicked off by the song "Sometimes." I can't exactly explain it but something about that song reminded me of what I was doing all this struggling in life for: an experience of sheer quality. It literally got me back in touch with beauty at a time when all I could remember was dull drudgery. It was like LSD without LSD.
Love how you describe it. Loveless is my favourite album ever, and Sometimes is the best song on the album for me. Pure perfection. I cannot describe the level of emotions it makes me feel
That delicate peaceful synth (at least I assume it's a synth) that comes in on Sometimes just awakens feelings in me. Set against the fuzzing rumbling guitars it's just perfect. it's like a beautiful bird soaring out of a storm.
Get what you mean thanks for sharing your appreciation here tho. It’s always nice to see when someone felt the same
@@rickruby_ Really? I should have know I guess 😁
This is my favorite album ever, and has been for the past 16 years. Nothing even comes close. This is perfection. ❤️
@maz. can you recommend and album that sounds like loveless?
@maz. The only thing that comes close for me in terms of genre is Slowdive's Souvlaki. But my second favorite album has got to be Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins. So dreamy...
@maz. EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUUUUUL HEEAREEE
@maz. My Bloody Valentine MBV (2013) This LP has become my fav. Most of the songs remind me of how Bach would have motifs, and how the music would unfold in unpredictable chordal directions (Is This And Yes). From a Production standpoint, the LP unfolds in unpredictable directions as well. The last song 'Wonder 2' is the encapsulation of the blue cover. It will be better understood by AI a hundred years from now.
@@ilyas_elouchihi you can try dynamo by soda stereo (is an Argentinian band that made shoegaze in 1992, they were very inspired by loveless)
Funny story. When I started High school, 1997-ish, I came across this album on cassette at a thrift store. I bought it because they had a cool name and the cover looked cool. But upon playing it at home I was like, "aaahh man.its warped!"
Same here. First time I heard it in the 90’s, thought the tap was messed up
Mistake #1: Listening without headphones. A lost opportunity. :(
Yes! That made me sad too. Also best listening in a pitch black room, IMO.
id said its better on speakers. i feel bells in my ears
What if he has good speakers
Also laying down in a bed in the dark lol
TMI maybe but I remember the first time I heard my bloody Valentine I was laying in my bed because my mom gave me Vicodin because I was on my period. Best discovery ever. Then years later I seen them live, and the 100+ speakers literally vibrated the insides of my body and caused my period to start 😂 my bloody vaginalentine
@@Chamomile369 what the fuck did i just read
It was interesting that he said it sounds "dark" and "druggy." Drone-y for sure, but I never thought of it as dark; rather like a hot summer sun. This album always reminds me of summer and orange sunsets. Maybe that doesn't make sense...
It has a cold and desolate heart. And those guys were pretty druggy I reckon
There are definitely bittersweet moments on this record, but to me it sounds ecstatic. MBV are to MDMA what Floyd were to acid.
You're not the only one. I keep imagining me sitting outside the porch near the sun when i hear songs from this album.
I feel the same way! A very BRIGHT sun... and sex
I've always thought of this album as on the lighter side; this is one of my regular falling asleep on a plane or a bus albums but I have a couple of friends who tried listening to it while going asleep and were scared shitless. Each to their own I guess, to some people the harmonies and cacophony are relaxing, to other petrifying. I'm just glad I'm in the former camp.
I'll never get tired of your autotuned yawning
Would definitely recommend Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins if you loved this album
George W Kush - That’s a great album
Heavy upboat ffrom me.
no no no no if he's gonna do Cocteau Twins it has to be Head over Heels
Hello - No, it has to be Treasure
Heaven or Las Vegas hell yesss
my gf played this album when i was on acid. never again.
Oh yikes
your gf is smart asf
Cringe druggie
My personal experience with Loveless is that everytime I listen to it I discover something new, also I listen to different things depending on volume and if I'm using headphones or not
RIIIIGHT it makes hearing new instruments and their Melodie’s mixing and meshing with others so cool
I remember people bashing on Soon that it's outro is too long and samey..
But the guitar licks keep switching up a bit if you listen closely
Glad u got your Loveless cherry popped man, album is like a drug
Shoethony gazetano
Wrong guy
Shoebrad gazeinmusic
Wrongthony channeltano
Yeah, that's the mbv experience.
As a very long time listener of this album, I can say that it becomes more and more enjoyable past the hundredth listen. And that's me saying quite a lot for an album I have constantly played front to end in my car. After a couple hundred listens, it's still extremely euphoric. Even though it's called Loveless, all I feel for the album is unconditional happiness, and never-ending warmth. There is so much positivity, I can't help but brim in joy every time I listen to this. Fuck the lyrics, the melodies and production are all that's important!
I love the album just as much as you do. But PLEASE, PLEASE read through all of the lyrics. Loveless doesn't just have the best sound ever, but it also displays some of the best songwriting I have ever seen/heard.
I recommend looking into the lyrics of "Sometimes" especially
You couldn't say it better
“I didn’t even understand any of the words but I get what’s goin on” collective consciousness is what makes this album so damn good. It’s almost 100% emotion no need for words basically
Simply put, this is one of the best albums ever recorded.
Your reaction to Come In Alone at 7:54 cracked me up. I kept thinking you were going to pass out. Actually looked like you died a couple of time’s. Loveless is indeed an intoxicating album lol
Come In Alone is my favorite track from this 10/10 album, and it's not even really close
You should listen to “Disintegration” by The Cure
for real!!
Pornography and Seventeen Seconds would also be amazing.
Or maybe even three imaginary boys! Thats my favourite album by them
your reaction is exactly what kevin shields wants, i believe lol i think i read that they would just play walls of noise for up to half an hour during their practices and would just be giggling uncontrollably by the end of it, almost like they were high. and at shows they would do the same and watch the crowd just fall into a trance. very happy to see your reaction to this album! i felt the same way you did. it took me a few more listens but when it finally clicked, i had this playing nonstop for weeks
please continue reviewing /mu/core albums
Chnapik Remain In Light, Pet Sounds, Americ anfootball, In The Aero plane over the sea, Spiderland, Pinkerton, Aphex Twin 85-92, Trout Mask Replica, Merriweather post pavilion, In The court of the crimson king, Velvet Underground and Nico, pink moon, soundtrack for the blind, since I left you, hospice, madvillainy, LYSFLATH, The Glow pt.2
sucks that mbv is somehow connected to something as retarded as 4chan
Sea of Bass link pls
@National Leftcom Gang Rawr xd That Trout Mask Replica sounded like complete ass for him.
And that Pure Comedy is a genuinely good album
I’m pretty late to this album and this review having only discovered them recently. But I read an interview with Kevin Shields (guitarist for the band and one of the vocalists for the band) and he actually said, when making music around the time that they were beginning to craft Loveless (during their eps prior) that they started really playing around with that sort of drone noise layering such and he actually said when rehearsing material he and the band realised that at the end of this ridiculous noise drones they had made they were all laughing hysterically (in the exact same manner as you were) and they put it down to the music actually giving them that unhinged basically auditory high (as you said, druggy etc) so it’s incredible that your reaction was exactly the same, and that that inspiration you said you felt was adjacent to the one Kevin felt himself. Love your stuff man, only found out today you reviewed this album!
When they play "you made me realize" at the ends of their sets they spend a really long time making white noise and feedback come from the amps making it super loud and super long because of that "high" they get. It's kind of a test of endurance for the audience but it gets supposedly euphoric after a while. It's really fascinating.
React to Smashing Pumpkins- Siamese Dream. It was influenced by this album.
Mellon Collie reaction would also be pretty epic
Fucking amazing album
Nature kids
Jaime Guzmán Aguirre yeah but he’s not gonna react to a two hour album
@@jumpman171 Siamese Dream isn't 2 hours.
Thank you for reminding me how much I love this album
React to Television's "Marquee Moon" another excellent guitar album
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I usually hate reaction videos but I love this video man!
Reviewing the album while half asleep just like how the vocals were recorded 👌.
Pretty sure he was just insanely high
You look like the lovechild of Hugh Laurie and Richard Ashcroft
Halfway through and it's already one of your best videos, keep it up bro
Only Shallow is the perfect intro song. Really hits you in such a way, so immediately and so powerfully
Usually, when I listen to an album for the first time, I try to focus solely on the music, but sometimes I'll get distracted and browse social media for a few minutes with the album still playing in the background. However, the first time I listened to Loveless, it felt like the music itself was forcing me to pay attention by completely surrounding me in the soundscapes of the album. I was in a complete trance throughout the entirety of the album's runtime, and during a few points, I even started crying because I felt almost overwhelmed emotionally. I never thought that noisiness could be crafted in such a way as to sound so beautiful and heavenly. It was one of the few times that I immediately knew an album was a 10/10 just from the first listen.
4:42 that was my exact same reaction to that transaction the first time I heard this album lol definitely in my top 10 favorite albums of all time
Have been waiting this for some time now :)
So cool watching someone listen to this for the first time and legit connect to it. Makes me feel like I'm listening to it for the first time again.
This video took me back to when I was first getting familiar with this album about 10 years ago. Watching and hearing your reactions to the music and the music itself gave me chills. MBV is my favorite band and it will stay that way. Kevin Shields is a genius.
Review slint, do it while reading the lyrics, its essential
spiderland is incredible
I MISS YOUUUUUUUU
This is the first video of yours that I have ever seen. I was so happy watching you react to this, because you clearly love music and you get this shoegaze dreaminess in a way that I wish every person could.
You have to remember not much like this existed before. This album is what Beach Houses and so many others try to copy. First time I heard this when it came out, it was game-changing. All of these sounds are guitar and all of them done on crude hack pedal setups. Also relisten to it at MASSIVE volume. It becomes even more. lf you are just diving into the Shoegaze classics, check out some of the others like Ride, Chapterhouse, Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, Catherine Wheel - Ferment. etc etc
Massive volume like loud? I'd listen to it quieter, cause it's not possible for me to really feel the music because it's so loud...
This album cannot be played loud enough! That's been my complaint from the beginning. I need a remix, so I can turn it up to TWELVE!
And they’re just as amazing live. You can feel the music in your body maybe cause of how loud they are. I went to see them with my brother this summer and we were mind blown. Everyone around us was talking about the show too and I felt like they just blew everyone away. Definitely beyond words.
I don't hear it as a purely sad album. It works well for that! But it's so much more. All of the songs are so full of energy yet dejected, a perfect balance
This is the perfect video for this album. The colors in this video and Brads reaction are EXACTLY on target.Unreal!!
I don't ever really enjoy music reviews but watching you react to this in the way you did made it feel like listening to this album for the first time again. So awesome
Dude was tripping balls just by listening to this album.. holy fuck. All jokes aside, love your score and review!
When I heard a pre-release bootleg cassette in my friend's car in summer 1991, I said this was the most psychedelic album I had ever heard. Glad to see it holds up, thirty years later!!
I brought this the day of release back in Nov 91 & i'm still blown away every time i listen to it just like i was all those years ago. It is one of those albumsthat just stands apart from anything else that your likely to hear. It's a sheer work of sonic experimentation that not just pushes the boundaries of rock music to its absolute limit, but surpasses it in to something else completely different & original. Only one other record has had a simillar affect on me & that was Electric ladyland. Genius album!!
Dude!!! I love your review, you convey the feeling that many of us feel, which is this joy and rapture mixed with almost disbelief that something so perfect exists. Also glad you did a follow-up because with so many layers, it took time to absorb it all!!! Thanks and please review 2013 MBV!!!
9:45 I still get that same feeling 33 years later 🥰
brad, i've been following you for a couple of years and never knew you covered loveless?! one of my favorite albums of all time AND you gave it a lot of praise? whaaaaaat
Your edits were perfect. MBV rules!!!
Next reaction, “Meat Is Murder” or “The Queen Is Dead,” from The Smiths. You’ll have a great time with either one.
+ Pornography by The Cure
noname 23 YES PLEASE
I agree
noname 23 YES!!
Meat Is Murder just for Barbarism Begins At Home.
BEST reaction I've ever seen of a first listen of this album. My favorite album since I bought it on a whim in 1991.
I can tell you experience music as intensely as I do. Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more reactions. Definitely checking out your back catalog.
Love this video. I just keep wathing it over and over cause it reminds me my reaction in the very first time I heard this album in the 90s. Every song was a injection of life loving. I will love this album forever. Cheers from Brazil.
This is the most unexpected Reaction i've seen from you. Good Work on the video man
This album literally encapsulates my experimentation with drugs at a young age. Psychadelics peeked it's head into my life briefly and this album is remembrance of that. I stood at the barrier at Coachella 2009 and walked out on the headliner The Cure for 6 plus hours. Godamn.
Man.. to have the ability to go back in time and listen to this album for the first time. It was life changing. Was fun watching your expressions.
In an interview with Kevin shields he explained that "volume extreme thing" as he put it was because it made people high. So he might even love this reaction if he ever sees it
I funting love your reaction , this album also effects me in a real hypnotic way , every time hear it i am still walking through the welsh snow listening to it on my walkman the xmas i got it
Also sleep you look like you haven’t in 3 days
He's super cute tho
Well it looks like you picked a magical moment of some waking sleep to listen to this for the first time!
i really need to make some time to listen to this album in full, i had it on my to listen list but forgot about it until now. Great review.
Finally, one of my favorites of all time
"so im actually going in completely blind"
**fucking Only Shallow starts playing**
love your reaction, have loved this band since before Loveless was released
Definitely agree with the comparison to the Beach House "7" album, I heard Loveless first and then "7" and the first thing I thought was "This sounds like MBV"
This album is like the musical equivalent of being sleep deprived but like in the best way if that makes any sense. It’s prolly cus they were extremely sleep deprived when they made it but it always resonates with me more when I get barely any sleep
This video is a masterpiece. Thank you so much, Brad
i'm still lost in the fog. completley normal reaction. spot on review.
This is my favorite thing I've seen on the internet this week. Gg
Its like your drowning in an infinite pink sonic wave pool
If you love gorgeous and unique psychedelic experiences, PLEASE listen to Long Season by Fishmans, both the studio and live recordings are near perfect
should of done it infront of the green screen for the royalty free psychedelic backgrounds
Great summing-up of a truly landmark moment in music
Thanks for review this piece of art
I love your review! I had the exact same "WTF" reaction to it in '91. :)
lol this is amazing. An album review expressed in facial expressions.
Your reactions to, to here knows when, is the same as I had, it’s so ethereal
"I Only Said" is a very special song to me. It's my favorite song and it lyrically is a song about growing up, which matches well with the rebellious mood of the track.
I have yet to find a song that made me feel as much as "I Only Said". Drop Nineteen's "Damon" comes close, though. Might want to review Drop Nineteen's Mayfield demo from 1991 as well as the 1991 album that'll be a remaster of it.
Same here. There's something about "I Only Saids" rhythm that makes it more addictive than any other song on this track. Especially the last 2 minutes of just repeatative noise that is just so imersive. I find myself always finishing the song no matter what because of it.
I actually listened to a loop of the ending to I Only Said as I slept. Generally I slept to shoegazing when I was 17-18.
I Only Said is probably my favorite off Loveless aside from Only Shallow.
One of my first listens to this album was when I was tripping at 16 out on my porch smoking a cigarette and it's always going to be a life experience to remember. This album means alot to me, it was at that time in life I came to alot of new perspectives about myself and reality while this played form beginning to end.
Watching you go through this was beautiful...this was probably the most important album in my life. I saw them at city gardens,Trenton nj...opening for dinosaur Jr ..I went in blind...was in audience with my first love,I was 16, I remembered hearing the loudest thing I ever heard,was almost too much,then it swayed and lurched into the most beautiful song ever, j Mascis and co became impossibly an afterthought. Spent rest of my night feeling changed and amazed, out of body,back into body...no-one is the same after.I sure wasnt.
React to "Velocity : Design : Comfort" by Sweet Trip. It's this sort of shoegaze stuff mixed with IDM, like Aphex Twin-type shit. Absolutely insane album.
I remember the first time I listened to this album (it wasn’t that long ago). I was almost asleep at a bus and decided to put on some music, I’ve had some albums downloaded at my phone, Souvlaki, The Wall, The Moon Shaped Pool, etc. So I decided to choose loveless, why not? Only Shallow started to play and I thought: Holy shit, I need some sleep, I will listen to Souvlaki (first time too). Later, I’ve listened to it properly and it is one of my favorite albums from all time. And it sounded exactly like the first time, I thought I was, somehow, “high” on sleep but no, it actually sounded like this.
Sorry for bad English
It's so lovely watching someone who feels the music so viscerally. I'm EXACTLY the same, but I almost never see it in others ❤
When I first heard this album I only liked the first song but as I listened to t more it grew on me. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. It’s an experience every time.
Now imagine hearing when it first came out. On quality LSD. Great trip! especially followed by Cocteau Twins.
PLEASE UPLOAD THE SECOND PART OF YOUR DANGER DAYS REACTION. Also i love your honest reviews c:
He said it's not gonna happen lol
I just come here to rewatch this sometimes for the reactions and experience
I wish this album was my mother
Wow so good to see I wasn't the first to react like this. I literally punched myself for not bothering to listen to it earlier. I was already a big fan of effects and psychedelic melodies, and I remember the excitement when I heard Only Shallow, just knowing I had found EXACTLY what I was looking for.
I see you never reacted to Slowdive Souvlaki, even after all the hype in the comments! Hoping you'll give it a shot.
Your reactions were pretty much the same as mine when I bought this album on a whim in 1991.
It's still my favorite record of all time.
off topic but you look really cute when you smile. also it's so nice to see someone smile to mbv
_Loveless_ on CD was the best music purchase I've ever made.
I find it interesting how you think it’s “dark” personally this album to me is complete ethereal beauty, it’s how think heaven would sound tbh, it’s actually very interesting how you react to it ver differently
Man, I haven’t listened to this for 25 years, and you nailed it. The darkness and how it messes up your head isn’t something you can get deep into and manage to get up and go to work and vacuum your house, so now I know why I don’t listen to the same music as I did as a teenager.
listen to the effect he puts on the start of i only said with headphones and u literally feel like you’re back in the middle of the record within a second
