    I wish Talk Talk had come out of retirement instead. M B V sounds like Loveless with all the substance removed. I would review it in detail, but despite having listened five times I still couldn't say what it sounded like.

    MBV is no great leap forward, though it's still aeons ahead of its 21st century competition. [Apr 2013, p.98]

    The noise that's here is lovely, heartbreaking, expansive and raw. [No. 97, p.58]

    The perfect album, albums with no filler, albums that when over, leave you breathless and don't inspire you to want more music from the band, but make you want to listen to the album from the start, all over again; m b v is that album.
