m b e my bloody earholes

I saw them live in 2008 in their much hyped return from a decade or so away,. Not because I particularly liked the ‘Loveless’ album, just because some mates were going and they were supposed to be very loud live. Everyone was duly handed free ear plugs on arrival at said gig, which was a novelty. And it was indeed spectacularly loud, at times like an airplane taking off in your face and so powerful your clothes were vibrating. Quite impressive really. Sadly, most people don’t have a stack of Marshalls in their front room so that trick doesn’t work in the album home listening format. Therefore you’re left with this pile of toss.

Not for me 1/5

I hated this

How many albums does it take on the list to confirm when a band is just so niche that only 8 people are going to enjoy. It doesn't take 3 on this list. They all sound the same and as equally as bad as each other.

not a fan

No thanks

Poorly produced noise

No.

Didn't like the first group of songs. New You is almost ok. But overall this album is garbage. Just completely boring. The use of distortion for so-called "dramatic effect" is just cheesy and irritating. And it doesn't sound good, either. The thematic tomes of "everything sucks! It's like a rainy day!" followed by one mildy hopeful song in "new you" just feels immature I'm sorry, but being dark and broody doesn't make you cool..

You know that old video of some emos trying to dance? That applies to this masterpiece. And they're on tour nowadays as well????

Not Good. 3/10

It's just noise to these ears, and it's hard for noise rock to be good. I was able to mostly tune it out and let it be crappy background noise until the last track when I had to stop it. Ugh. I'd like to be able to say that I'm open-minded enough to appreciate this style of music, but I couldn't get there. 1.4

Not even going to listen

This was both terrible and boring.

3eme album généré pour le groupe. Incompréhensible d'avoir autant d'album de ce groupe dans la liste. Cet album a un son aussi mauvais que dans les 2 autres, ce qui gâche complètement l'écoute. Et cette fois ci je n'ai pas eu envie de perdre mon temps à l'écouter jusqu'au bout ... Heureusement c'est le dernier ! =>1/5

I didn't get it.

Do not like this one. Sounds like it is broken or something, too much static noise.

It’s more like a bad acid trip, or that moment you realize you’ve drank too much and it’s time to leave the party, but you’re too dizzy to find the exit. It’s a bad feeling, and so is this album.

This is just not good. How did it take 17 years to make this?

Bleek

No, the whole album sounds just like noise to me.

I ain't high enough for this

Not in my edition of the book! 2013. 1 star. Trashy Brit guitar noise with no tunes. And it sounds like it was recorded in an underwater garage. This actually hurt my ears. Fucking awful. Someone shoot the sound engineer. And save some bullets for the band.

Dull and boring. I don't want to waste anymore time on this than that.

Album was ok but not something I would buy

What the….whoever mastered this must be deaf? Not a great album in my opinion.

I hated it.

First of all, it was quiet so I had to turn the volume just to hear it. And even after turning up you couldn’t understand anything they were saying. Then the songs were long and repetitive. I thought maybe I would give it a 2 for at least musical talent but this is solidly a 1.5 for me.

not my thing at all. I can see how this band inspired and pioneered dream pop / shoe gaze, but this 2013 project did not mesh with my taste. It's a damp drug mumble over a damp chord progression and clanky percussion. I tried to listen to it but I kept zoning out.

bad. Really bad.

t h i s f u c k i n g s u c k s

endless noise

At one point I thought I heard something interesting but it turned out it was a moth stuck in the ceiling light.

There are My Bloody Valentine songs I like, but not on this album.

Really? MBV has released three albums, and ALL THREE made this list? This collection of droning, shoegaze non-compositions goes on and on and never gets anywhere interesting. MBV already showed us what they were about in the 1990s, when their sound was novel. In 2013, they had nothing new to offer--and definitely nothing that would qualify as essential listening.

Droning crap

My Bloody Ears! What a bunch of crap music...not for me at all...worst album on the list so far...by far...

Favorite Song: None

Like a turgid, regurgitated turd

noise - terrible

not that big of a fan of this album. the sound is too soft, it also has that kind of airplane sound effect, like you're recording on an airplane or near an airport. the overall production imo is poor and i just didn't get the vibe of the album.

The constant distortion is awful, especially paired with the slow, droning vocals.

Dirge

# Album Name: MBV # Artist: My Bloody Valentine # Rating: 1/5 # Comments: Well for some reason I thought MBV was my chemical romance. So it was a bit of a surprise when it turned out that was not the case. I have to say this album was absolute fucking junk. It felt completely out of tune. Maybe that was the intention. Not sure what the fuss is about. # Top Tunes: Not a single track # Would I listen to it again? No

Disappointed

Nah, Don’t get it.

We both really struggled with this one

Bit dull and repetitive techno, not my style

Nothing is may be the worst song I’ve ever heard.

How much distortion can you put on ALL the recording tracks? How far back into these layers of distortion can you put the distorted, droney/dreamy vocals? Listen to this album to find out.

t h i s i s s h i t Seriously. Two albums from this group of people who claim to be a band. This makes country music look good.

Asså va fan. Det är inte ofta man vill att det bara ska ta slut. Men det här var fan extra plågsamt. Längtar tillbaka till the residents som åtminstone måste ha förstått att de är "speciella". En oljudsvägg. Det finns inget att "greppa" tag i. Jag undrar om detta är det närmaste man kan komma som låter som kaos, det känns så i hjärnan efter ett par låtar iaf.

It’s just static! That’s it! Punctuated by the occasional screech! Oh my earballs.

What an absolute racket. No thank you.

Кто-то действительно считает эту какофонию музыкой?!

This is my bloody valentine? People like this? I kept begging for the next song and then regretting it when I got there. Awful. Best: ??? Worst: ???

Not a fan. I have tried these guys before and haven't liked it. I'm not sure what the hype is about to be honest

First 3 tracks sounded like a badly tuned am radio, did not get much better after that. Pretty terrible

Dreary

When it comes to shoegaze, it feels like people have always pitted My Bloody Valentine against Slowdive, and decided MBV is the better of the two. This being the 2nd MBV album on the list, I can't for the life of me understand that reasoning. Really messy album overall sonically. Not nice at all to listen to. Despite being from 2013 the mix is really bad to my ears with too much noise and rattling. The vocals are intently muffled out and purposefully hard to make out. But I think it's overdone completely, and since it sounds like it sits in the same range as the rest of the instruments it all turns to a mess. No good hooks or anything in any of the songs to latch onto on this record, it's all just a wall of sound. Very disappointed actually since I view myself as someone who enjoys Shoegaze, but this just doesn't cut it at all.

This album ranged from passable to downright horrible. Not the biggest fan of shoe-gaze but it's usually ok as background music. This album had a few chill tracks like "If I Am" but i just can't get over they use of effects on the guitar. "Who sees you" is the worst offender of this, with the jarring effects like a "Wah Wah" on the guitar making it impossible to focus on anything else. Was thinking of giving it a weak 2 around "in another way" but the last 2 tracks cemented it as a 1 star.

Eigentlich voll meine Musik und die Band ist mir auch nicht unbekannt aber bisher ist es mir zu viel Noise in den ersten beiden Songs. Der Abschluss des Albums hats für mich besiegelt. Ich halts für trash.

This music sounds like my sleep paralysis demon.

This was the culmination of someone thinking fuzz was cool so more fuzz = more cool. It is not. Add in mumbled moans as vocals and uninspired song writing and this is an album that I couldn't get through. Boring and unexciting. I thought I'd add a few points for some interesting atmospheric keyboards in a song, but then the interesting part got old after 2 minutes of the same thing--and the song had another 3 minutes to go. That's when I decided this album was a list cause. 1/5

mY bLEEDING vESTIBULAR At first, I thought my hifi was broken, then after checking, I realised it must be their instruments or the recording studio. Resonates all wrong with me, uncomfortable listening, almost like bad ASMR… is that a thing? Is that the point?

I appreciate that they're doing something different but I didn't enjoy it at all. The album is split into thirds with some stylistic differences between them, but they all feature droning distorted guitars and little in the way of traditional song structure, melody or understandable vocals. I can see why people like it but it's not for me.

That felt violating, in a subtle way. I don't often say this, but I was glad when it was over.

Terrible all around. Over-distorted guitars, whiny, incomprehensible vocals. Everything is so repetitive.

Musiikki oli sellaista tasalaatuista massaa ja välillä kuului joku etäinen ihmisääni. En kuuntele toista kertaa!

Huhhuh

Kaiutin rikki. Antaisin nolla jos vois

Nyt oli DJ:llä mennyt levyt sekaisin, koska tämän piti olla jonkun sortin rocklevy. Ei ollut.

Tämä levy ei kyllä tiennyt yrittikö se olla bändimusiikkia vai jotain leijuvaa avaruuspiipittelyä. Ei tuosta saanut oikein mitään irti.

Nothing but noise. This might be the worst album I've had on the list so far. It's only 46 minutes long but it feels like an eternity. I can't believe these guys have two more albums on the list. It was hard to pick a "best" song since the entire album is garbage. I picked Wonder 2 because at least the album is over. Candidate for worst album. Best song: Wonder 2

Holy distorted guitarsound! I am kind of lost on what to say about this album other than that. The singing is so so so low volume, the drums and bass is in the middle and then they guitar is twice as loud if not even more. I couldn't get in to this att all.

I didn’t enjoy anything about this. The incessant droning, the breathy vocals. Hard pass on all of it? Is this the shoegaze everyone loves to name drop? If so I’ll gaze elsewhere.

drone, noise, shoegaze ... not worth the 17 year wait

My bloody hell...this was not what I had hoped. Long drawn out noise with the singer either in a wind tunnel or too far from the microphone. A glimmer of hope on the instrumental "nothing is" but quickly back to bad with what could be worst song, "wonder 2." How much worse was 1st version to not make it? Critics are up their own ass to praise this as a top album of the year. This put me in a coma...m b v = must be vegetable or must bring valium to enjoy...0.87 stars.

Maybe I'm missing something here because what I got was a somewhat pretentious collection of experimental noise rock instead of something that was "potentially timeless", "absolutely breathtaking" or "utterly contemporary". Not sure what makes this "universally acclaimed" but consider me a skeptic. This album reeks of hipster bullshit rhetoric from critics about how "moving" and "deep" it is. Second half of the album gets a little better as it falls into some more melodic shoegaze songs that at least have a semblance of rhythm and musical structure, but even that is being a little generous. There's certainly worse on 1001 but not sure MBV is anything for me to write home about. Maybe I had to be there when My Blood Valentine was evidently "pioneering" the shoegaze genre. This album is "decidedly mediocre at its best" and "quite bad in its execution" by me. 1.34 stars

Viel Verzerrung und Wischi-Waschi...

Song: she found now this is weird but for my opinion its a little bit relaxing only if there wasn't a hard beat and lyrics and guitar Song: is this and yes this is very weird all it says again and I would not recommend it Song:in another way this song is weird and I don't really like this album

I don't like this song because it has no words. I would not recommend this song I don't like this song because it is weird at the start. I would not recommend it. this song. I don't like this song because it still has no more words I would not recommend this song

Im not a fan of this album. The songs sound very cool but arent my style.

I do not like this song its so boring and the beat sucked and you could barely hear anyone singing. the second song was so bad it was just noises and i did not like it. the third song was better because of the beat but it still was bad. i do not recommend this song it was so bad

I feel like this album is very mid. I don't like the name and the lyrics, but I do like the instruments used and the way that his voice sounds. I would not recommend this to someone else because I know they wouldn't like it. I give it 1 star out of 5.

the first song started off kinda weird oh my there's no lyrics bru

I think the cover is cool. "She found now" was okay. The music was decent but I couldn't really understand the singing. "Is this and yes" was weird. I didn't like that it sounded like church organs. "In another way" was better but still not something I would pick. The music was better and the singing was better heard. I would not recommend this album.

i dont like the she found now becuase it has lyrics but very quiet and it talking about someone finding out something Is this and yes i dont like this song either becuase it just has sounds and it only has the lyrics again i give this album 1 star

3/10

The music is interesting until it becomes redundant and boring. Lyrics are nonsensical and hard to decipher. This may be my first one star. I cannot determine whether the music pushes it to another star. Just not for me.

You genuinely hear more interesting and enjoyable music while on hold to the bank. I honestly don’t have a clue who this is intended for. Who could possibly listen to tracks like Is This And Yes and Nothing Is and feel anything but contempt for the pathetic morons who put these annoying and repetitive sounds out into the world.

I can't believe they have three albums on this list, or that they've released more than one album. I don't understand them, but someone must like this crap

Había escuchado Loveless y guardado algunas canciones, no sé cómo estará este álbum. Está resultando un tostón ruidoso. Se salva "new you" y poco más. Se va a llevar una estrella.

i'd rather listen to Trout Mask Replica 2

The Good: We get to play the ACRO game!!! The Bad: m b v does not stand for music become venerate The Ugly: realizing it stands for My But Vomit WTF? My string of crap albums continue… it is going to get boring to sum up, but 4 straight days of 1*, cut short by a 2* album, and now we are already on 3 straight days of 1* This album can best be compared to Chinese water torture, just replace the drip drip with fucking noise and unintelligible vocals. Nothing redeeming on this album for me. Nothing enjoyable… I am understanding why so many people bail on the project after a couple of hundred albums; they probably started getting such strings of bad luck too and said fuck it, I’m done!!! 1*

Did not enjoy. At all.

chamer absolut nix drunder vorstelle. nonie glost aber de name kenntmer glaub? oke s isch afich sehr viel gitarrenoise. bi etz bim zweite song und jo d drums sind cool ich ghör e melodie i gueeeess?? aber scho vorallem lärm. ich checks würkli aber wie chas so ischlöfernd sii? tönt irgendwie wie wenn mini kafimaschine kaputt isch. who sees you het chli komischeri chords. ok bi jetz bi mothing is und finds uuuuuhuere streng

This was a complete waste of time and space on this list.

Listened to 30 seconds of three tracks then gave up. Which is what they should've done. Taking the trash can out is more enjoyable than submitting my ears to this.

Noise

“Yeeeeeh, this kind of stuff might have worked for you in 1990 but if you want me to release this now, you’re going to have to come back with a chorus or two.” NOT record label bosses in 2013, apparently.

Incredibly tedious

The album spoke to mankind’s highest nature transporting the listener to a spiritual transcendence. The profound lyrics tease and conjure imagery hidden behind a “Phil Spector Wall of Sound”—if I could only understand them! Oh, if I could only appreciate the sublime musicianship that crafted this album. But I don’t—and P. T Barnum was spot on.

жму до отказа педаль {эффектов} в пол - и похуй что у нас Рено Логан

Kann ich mir nicht anhören

I spent most of my teen years confusing this band's name with My Chemical Romance. Maybe it's because they sound like a nothing burger that I can't remember them being their own thing.

This album gave me depressed vampire vibes and then it shifted to depressed vampires in space. By the final songs I was glad it was over. Will not listen again

The sounds of a dystopian future, that’s miserable, grey where all joy, fun and enjoyment are banned. Listened, in pain for 46 odd minutes for a song to breakout, only to be frustrated. Had to look at the tracks run times on several occasions because thought they were on for an eternity only to find only minutes had pasted. Guess you can listen to this, ? sound, to experience a waking coma. Not for me, I’ve heard things since I started this project I haven’t liked but have at least now experienced but this no I’m not glad that I experienced that once in my life. The silence when it eventually ended was so much better than anything while it was droning on. Their Spotify entry “redefine what noise means ….” Sorry emperors new clothes, Still shit.

Something between boring and annoying. Everything sounds like a porridge of sound with a pillow covering the speaker. 1,5

En tiedä vaatiiko hifi-kiulokkeet erottaakseen edes jotain melodiaa tästä metelistä, mutta kuuntelu jäi yhteen kertaan bt-kuulokkeilla. Joutavaa paskaa.

This was designed to help people fall asleep quicker right? From the band name I was expecting something more punk or emo, either of which would have been more preferable to this. I can’t imagine people wanting to go see this horseshit live at a concert. Boring as hell. The vocals were barely perceptible and added nothing. Fucking awful.

I thought my speaker were broken, played something else. Came back, was adamant that it must be my speakers. This can't be "on the list"? Do people listen to this? I'm just confused.

Low quality audio is full of static. Really ruins anything good in it which is not much. Lacks most of what makes bands successful.

I just couldn't.

m b v sounds like what happens when you accidentally leave your headphones half-plugged into your phone and convince yourself it’s art. It's like they took everything cool about shoegaze, drowned it in a bathtub of reverb, and hoped no one would notice there's barely a song underneath. The vocals are buried so deep it’s like the band was too shy to actually be heard. The guitars sound like they’re melting in slow motion, and not in a good way. Every track just kind of floats around in a fog, going nowhere, like ambient noise for people who hate melody and pacing.

Herttainen mutta lannistava soundivalli syö sisäänsä melodian rippeet ja kaiken rytmin.

I must have a different idea about what listening to music should be like than other people. I did not enjoy this album at all and from time to time was actively annoyed at it. The first song I liked was when Spotify moved on to another band. Hard pass.

What could possibly have got this drivel on the list. Sound like the worlds worst high school band tuning up in someones garage (badly)

No snap.

TBS! AC! NWTT!

Ahh the Shoegazing genre. Never heard of it until I started on this list but well acquainted with it now. Actually I’m a bit of a shoeqazer myself. This is restricted to toiling up English Lake District mountains where steep ascents mean watching your feet plod steadfastly along. This is always done with AirPods in ears listening to my favourite combo’s and every so often averting my eyes from shoes and lifting my head up to enjoy the marvellous vista’s in every direction. Now I’m sure that these shoegazing pursuits will never involve this album. In fact the thought of this album accompanying me up the fair slopes of Harrison Stickle would besmirch the loveliness of that mountain. I know that this review does nothing in accessing the worthiness or otherwise of this album but the fact that it has nothing of merit gave me chance to wax lyrical about something of much more importance. Hill walking with for instance Pink Floyd, now you’re talking. I’d only take this album with me to dump in Mount Doom. 1/5 26/10/24

💩

ShoeGAYze, cheeks, terrible and bad

01) She Found Now - 5,5 02) Only Tomorrow - 5,5 03) Who Sees You - 4,0 04) Is This and Yes - 4,5 05) If I Am - 5,5 06) New You - 6,0 07) In Another Way - 5,5 08) Nothing Is - 4,0 09) Wonder 2 - 4,0 TOTAL: 4,94 (49/100) Current ranking: 321/337 This sounds like an intermezzo between songs. Is there any lyrics at all? Track # 3 is like an old cassette tape going crazy. It is fascinating to me that these 45 minutes of music were recorded and completed over twenty years. Maybe if they had tried for a few more years, maybe it would have been listenable. If song number 8 had lasted half a minute longer, I think I would have gone crazy. Oh, ffs, track number 9 isn't any better either...

This was bad, like, ambient industrial noise

Just constant boring tones.

Noise pop. Un tostonazo sin sentido. Un 1.

Music Bland & Vague

Barely music

Ffs, not another My Bloody Valentine album. This is my third of theirs that I've had so far. Ever wonder what shoegaze would sound like underwater? If so, these idiots may be for you! Super fuzzy distorted instruments and moaning. No clue what the singer is saying...... Utter garbage. The idiots couldn't even be bothered thinking up a cool album name.... "let's just use the band's initials!".... Anything else may be considered work..... Fuck these guys. Also, the prize for shittiest album artwork across all of their albums has to go to these tools. Shitty nonsense, or out of focus photos. Nothing at all about this was enjoyable. It all ran together into one 46 minute steaming pile of horse shit. I've checked, and this is their last album. They only have three. So all of their records were included on this stupid list, while many more deserving acts weren't even included on this list. Revisit your musical tastes you fucking muppets. Favourite songs: only tomorrow, Least favourite songs: this whole God awful piece of shit 1/5.....0 if I could.,

If the sound you heard from Tinnitus was an album, it would be this one. The biggest compliments I can give this album are that I was mildly indifferent to it at times and that it ended. If I never hear this album again, I will be happy and content.

Bad

It's not as bad as my first listen, but it's still dreadful

The buzz saw got old. The songs don’t seem to have actual human melodies.

Ik heb maar één vraag: waarom? Waarom staat dit in de lijst? Wat is hier zo belangrijk aan? (Oeps, een tweede vraag.) Wie is hier ooit door beïnvloed? (Sorry, nu stop ik.) Hoe kom je het idee om zo'n album met repetitief gereutel, dat klinkt alsof het is opgenomen in een bezemkast, de wereld in te slingeren? (Ai, ik kan het nou eenmaal niet laten.) En wanneer is deze baggerplaat eindelijk afgelopen?

Alsof je een tapeje van een tapeje van een tapeje afspeelt...

So far, this is the first album I have no previous experience with. Not a band I know other than by name. The opening few tracks were boring and reminded me of late 90's garage band noise with no breaks, just constant sound with barely intelligible (or audible) vocals that drone on. One tolerable tune, but I'd never listen to it a second time. Again, not a 1001 album in my book, I can't see any reason to include it based on influence, revolutionary sound, or anything. Did they get better in later years? I can't make out why they would have had a career at all, nothing stands out. I got thru it quickly as I didn't relate to any of it, nor would I ever want to hear a single song a second time. Worst choice to date.

Not good. Sounded terrible. Intentionally?

Honey crap, I actually cannot believe how grating this album was. I skipped most tracks and couldn't finish it, this was terrible.

Don't ask me how I can adore Silversun Pickups and loathe this, yet here we are.

Had to turn this one off. Terrible

Terrible.

Worst. Album. Ever. I thought my stereo was broken.

I really disliked this one

I kinda hated this, made meca bit nauseous. I really dislike giving 1 star because this is someone's creation and other people will love this so I feel bad criticising but wow, not for me at all.

This is just an sfx pack.

It's like listening to early pixies... like before they ever got an album deal or played a gig or wrote a song or woke up on any day.

had a headache today probably the worst possible album i could have listened to

Band was good but I hate whisper singing

A boring shoegaze

A whole lot of terrible nothing.

Eine Aneinanderreihung von Geräuschen. Bestimmt stilprägend für Indie-Grunge oder so etwas.

My headphones died in the middle of listening to this...that was the happiest I was in this last hour listening to this piece of hot garbage. Are they trying to be edgy and make bad music to make a point or are they just really bad at this? I don't know if it makes a difference for me from a rating perspective but I need to know that people don't unironically think that this is good. This is the worst kind of emo music.

so bad, honestly why are there three of these albums on here, the first was bad enough.

Music for high school shooters

This album is about as interesting as a beige painted wall. "Background noise" is probably a more appropriate term for it than "music".

The worst you given me yet. I don't want to know a person who considers this a "top" album. Do yourself a favor and make it a 1000 album generator, don't need this one on any list.

20% lacking to make it half way decent.

it's just noise. And unpleasant noise at that

what the fuck was this

It's not a bad album. But I've given so many good albums a 2. This is just blah.

This just sounded like noise to me. Was wondering when it would be over.

Ok

I really, really dislike this band. This album is even worse than the "loveless" trash I had to endure before. Normally I am very open ans positive for various genres, but shoegaze so far seems like a crime against humanity to me. It guarantees to put me in a bad mood. I think the art behind it is to make the most annoying sound as possible and this alone annoys the hell out of me. To say something positive: "new you" can nearly considered to be a song... just not a good one.

Nothing but a whole lotta noise.

More like my bloody ears am I right? No thank you.

Shoegaze is the musical equivalent of putting your full meal into a blender until everything is homogenous with no textures. Why the fuck would you do that?

so muffled???? NEXT

As Wikipedia says \"Not to be confused with Bullet for My Valentine.\" Yet, for a moment this morning I did and was looking forward to the time I'd sit down an listen to the daily album. Disappointment after disappointment I found it hard to listen to all of it and yet I did. 1/5.

A bunch of my favourite bands have shoegaze elements to them, so I always find myself optimistically starting albums like this, before almost immediately realising that it's depressing, droney bullshit. It's so fucking miserable! Christ. Turn that frown upside down guys! Go outside for a bit, sniff the fresh air.

I don't think this genre is for me. Drones on and on and on.

Lots of synthesizer and noise, incoherent voices. Nope.

Ich kannte und kenne diese Gruppe nicht. Aber ich bin gerne neugierig und freue mich auf jede neue Anregung. Diesmal bin ich enttäuscht. Die Musik zieht sich monoton mit Synthesizer und Gitarre und etwas Stimme durch die Tracks. Kaum Überraschungen. Vielleicht liegt es an meiner Tagesform. Langweilig

No. Not even a little

Seemed like just a lot of noise, no real rhythm.

Zu viel Drogen im Spiel.

Did not like at all. Kind of terrible

Too heavy

This album might have a place as background to an interesting conversation where you don't want the music to compete. "Did I hear something good in that last song?" No. No you did not. It might also be useful as a party soundtrack for introverts. Sure to get them talking. "This music sucks." "Sure does. Wanna leave?" This will be the third album of 9 that I've given 1 star. I may have been hasty in those other 2. This is the first I've actually disliked. Maybe "forgettable" should rate 2 stars. That doesn't make sense either. Can we have a "kill it with fire" rating for the truly awful?

Not a fan. Could not make it through.

niezłe gówno 1

I am no MBV fan and this is some straight dookie. I despise this style of mixing where the lyrics are intentionally unrecognizable and the instruments are way too loud.

Distorted can’t understand a lyric. Absolutely shit.

Maybe if they had turned down the distortion and not drowned out the singers this would be a good album. A real mess that just annoyed me more the longer it went on.

They should have stayed broken up.

Bloody Awful.

Everyone I know who likes music I like, loves My Bloody Valentine. Bands I love, love My Bloody Valentine. Never in my life have not got something has hard as I don’t get My Bloody Valentine. 3.7/10

This was a solid 2 star album until track 8, when I questioned if my Spotify was broken.

horrible, had a headache by song 4

You can't convince me that every MBV song doesn't sound EXACTLY like every other MBV song. 1 cookie cutter out of 5 🍪

Not my thing

Honestly, this just sounded like a lot of noise. I'm sure there was a point here, but I'm just not hearing it.

Sucks

Noise pop. Un tostonazo sin sentido. Un 1.

i think it's cool to make sentences without capital letters so i really like how they did this with the list of songs i like that writing style much more than i like this album

I listened to the new Parannoul album a couple of weeks ago. I understood as many of the lyrics of After The Magic as I did m b v, and I do not speak a word of Korean. I at least understood the vibe of After The Magic. I do not understand what m b v was going for. I’ve listened to Loveless, what music nerd hasn’t? Loveless is a good album. m b v isn’t. It’s incoherent, it’s rambling, it’s ambient in a way that shoegaze shouldn’t be. According to bad faith critics, shoegaze is a genre that shouldn’t be interesting, isn’t interesting to anyone other than those paying attention to them themselves, to their own footware. Good shoegaze is better than all the bad faith critics give it credit for. Good shoegaze is music that is worth paying attention to, because it is subtle, but also active, because it is simple, but contains multitudes. It is important for the same reason as punk, it seems amateur, but is far more complex than anyone could imagine on first listen. Loveless is good shoegaze. Loveless seems simple, but contains multitudes. After The Magic is good shoegaze. After The Magic seems simple, but contains multitudes. m b v seems simple. m b v is simple. It is from one of the sound’s pioneers, but it does not push the sound forward. It is an album that looks backward rather that forward. At times it feels like consolidation rather than progress, which would have worked, had the album been released a decade earlier. As such, it seems… simple. It seems basic. Halfway through this album I gave up on active listening and went and did housework. This is background listening. I cannot think of any other way to describe it

just awful. quit partially into track 3

Didn't enjoy this one at all, but its was alright

Now will fully admit I think I was expecting something more like MCR - so that was jarring from the start. And I was listening with only one headphone on (got to keep vigilant for those Amazon deliveries) so I thought perhaps the actual music was being played in the absent earphone. But nope, not the case. I found it boring and annoying with no redeeming features.

Why is this on the list? Garbage. Zero stars if I could.

I don't get it at all. Never have.

Just sounds like noise

What was that. Sounded like a bunch of instruments running into each other

I do not like shoegaze at all

Loud effect + whispering does not equal an album I must hear before I die. PSHHHHHHHHHHHHgodthatsuckedPSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

What? And more to the point, why?

This feels like back in the day when you'd pass out watching TV and wake up to static. "New song. I, IV, V, slow, four beat down strum, two measures per chord. Just needs incoherent lyrics. And for the love of the gods, doesn't your fuzz pedal go to eleven?" I've yet to hear shoegaze that I appreciate. I'm either not sufficiently self loathing or I'm taking the wrong drugs.

Terribly boring

- first song feels like a song from a soundtrack of a David Lynch Film. Very ambient, very ambigious and almost dreamlike. You cant tell me that this wouldn't work in movies like mulholland drive or lost highway. -Damn even the second song is ambient af, starting to see a trend here. -So far theres so much noise in songs, lot of distortion happening here - songs are kind of forgettable, not too mention I cant understand what the singer is trying to sing. Even with songs with little noise I cant understand. I was not a fan of this album. Felt like it couldve been a soundtrack to a sci-fi or neo noir film. I like the vibes but nothing stands out to me. Just seems like a bunch of noise

Album 18 of 1001 My Bloody Valentine - m v b Favorite Track : Last One (Because I knew the suffering would soon end) Rating : 1 / 5 (Rounded Up) This has got to equal the worst piece of crap ever recorded. I apologized to my brain after listening. Was listening to one song through the ear buds while eating a bowl of cereal and was fascinated by how the crunching in my ears was more impressive than the so-called "music" I was listening to. I endured it for the sake of the process. I now have an something to represent how bad a recording can be. Now, I'll listen to some Dylan and hope my ears will forgive me for what I put them through.

my bloody wastatime

Franchement c'est bien nul, que des mauvaises versions de only shallow

Oh it's bad. It's noise. It's indie music. Don't listen.

How can 45 minutes be so unending?

Soundteppiche; zuerst ein fesselnder Klang; aber dann die ersten drei Lieder immer das gleiche; bin mir nicht klar, ob ich die Platte zu Ende anhöre; nächstes Lied klingt dann anders allerdings mit sehr simpler Klangteppich und Melodieführung; herausragende Musik? Na da stelle ich mir schon etwas anderes vor.

Shoe gazing is the worst genre ever. Try to picture a porn star attempting to set an anal gang bang record & try to imagine the gruel that would escape her anus near the end. If you could turn that gruel into music, it’d be this shit

Was excited when this appeared as I’ve heard lots about the band but never really listened to them. Shame, then, that this was a total nothing burger

If my CRT TV played this instead of white noise, I guess that’d be alright.

Fuck this racket.

Not my thing

What do you call this type of music where someone plays one distorted chord over and over again for six minutes?

Breathy moody drone. Sad whines. Honestly didn’t really enjoy this. Most of the album sounded the same.

There’s a reason the shoegaze genre is the lowest ranked genre on this site. This is it. It just drones on and on and you can’t even tell it’s the next song except for the fact that you know you ended the previous one by pressing next halfway through. Imagine waking up and thinking “you know what will be really groundbreaking? Having vocals in a song that you can hear someone is singing but because the mix makes them super low, and I just stone on and on, no one can tell what I’m saying, but not in a cool way like metal or grunge, just in a way that makes the record sound unfinished. That would be really cool.”

I understand "Loveless" being on here, but this is like its afterbirth being delivered 22 years later. I don't want to listen to this musical placenta.

That was some terrible noise.

Awful, tried the entire time to figure out how this would work live and had to concede it simply wouldn’t. Repetitive with nothing to catch my attention anywhere in the album

What a pile of wank. In fact, at least you get some pleasure out of a wank, this was like a 3 day bender hangover, but worse

Прослушано! Пока это самый ужасный альбом. Слушать невозможно. ГОВНИЩЕ!

I hated this, the production sounds terrible & I just found it overall boring.

Somtimes felt like I was listening to a bridge of a song but turned out to be the whole song, other times just kinda boring

Couldn’t get past the first 3 songs.

Dog shit

Genuinely have no idea how anybody can find this enjoyable. This barely even registers as music to me. I wish I could give it a 0

No words for this

Bad

I think I like this band but not this album

Even unsliced bread is better

They really couldn't be bothered, could they? Everything about this has a 'will this do?' air to it, from the no-title title to the lazy rehashes of former glories that simply have no spark of joy or imagination. I'm a huge fan of Loveless. I have no love for this.

Ok this is far worse than I remembered MBV. Maybe it's because I keep fooling myself into thinking shoegaze is something I could like? Anyway, I'd be ashamed to release this as a garage band. Why anyone would put this on an "albums you must hear before you die" list is just completely beyond me. It must be cause they're from the UK. There's no other explanation. This fucking sucks. 1/5.

Boring but captivating. Did I say captivating? Just boring and dull as hell. The best way of describing the record is by means of one of the songs: nothing is, indeed.

Not my bag.

couldnt do

No

Man whispers through distortion… It’s sort of like trying to listen to the shins from a mountaintop using a HAM radio

Borin'ell. I was just waiting for it to end.

I hate this

not... i listened to this low in the background - none of it seemed to make me want to stop, turn it up and listen.

Background noise. Lame. At least it was short.

too emo
