[Loveless] not only stands the test of time, but transcends it. Songs like 'When You Sleep' sound as inventive now and would outshine much of the crop of young pretenders... Remains an archetypal classic.
This 1991 album is the best of three reissues of their work – also available are their debut, Isn't Anything, and a 2CD compilation of outtakes and EPs.
Just reacquainted myself with this album and have to agree with others that it is perfect. The swirling ebb and flow of the distorted guitarsJust reacquainted myself with this album and have to agree with others that it is perfect.

There is a subtlety and parsimony that is brave and not heard on similar ventures at the time such as the Cocteau Twins. Truly magnificent.…Expand

It is an idea perfected and left inevitably unbeatable, no matter how many bands have tried. It is a huge world filled with pink haze and almost painfully intense noises. At first it may seem too much, you may feel that it is overdoing the noise aspect. Then you'll slowly start to feel comfortable with the album. Then you'll never want to lose this album, you'll always want it there when loud, sweeping but an inevitably warm music experience is what you need.…Expand

The album is anLoveless is not for the faint of heart as based on the reviews it seems to be one of the most polarizing albums of all time. The album is an absolute classic, easily one of the top 10 alternative records of all time as there is not a bad song on the album. Additionally, it is album that I continue to listen to frequently and it has not lost its charm. The band defined the shoegazer movement along with Jesus and Mary Chain, Lush and Slowdive.…Expand

Everything that makes Shoegaze such a great subgenre of rock. Bright walls of sound with no space or time to breathe. The cover is the most perfect description of this record. It's all so heavily distorted and hazy that you can only barely make out the guitars and vocals. Brilliant.…Expand
