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.

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
