[@notrub225]

yeah it's really close-the guitar treatment is way different.

[@Flibbybibby]

@@notrub225 True, however bands worked with what gear they had and there a certainly seeds of idea there for Lush, etc.

[@frankystarrz]

I know lush. Miki, Emma... Em was fuckin Kevin for a while. Yeah.. I know Vale too. But I digress. Lush..as a band were ALL studio work. Chris..who Hu g himself was a fuckin AWFUL drummer. I know coz i used to practice every Sunday with him. Crazy how he went. Killed them coz they went back years. New drums meant new phony. They couldn't.

[@frankystarrz]

Perfect example of 'its not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know. Lush knew people. Emma dad? Director of OXFAM. Living in a 5 story townhouse in Saint John's Wood. It's so fuckin terrible I could vomit. It killed Chris Ackland. He got HAMMERED in NME for fame chasing. Did a WHOLE 2 page article on 'the stixx man who won't fuck off' kinda thing. Dead a week later. Hung at his parents place in Lake District. 😔

[@phlubblebubble]

@@frankystarrz Wasn't Miki's mom also an actress? Sure they were kind of inconsistent but when they landed on a good song...they nailed it. I always liked Emma's songwriting the best.

[@gdub999tub.]

These songs are so pure and beautiful. I spent some time in the hospital just trying to get through the day, and listening to this helped immensely.

Like the Cure covering the Byrds. Loveless will always be their best to me but this is amazing in a whole other way. So sweet and hazy

Two words: Kevin Shields. Expect to see this on Spotify some time around the end of the decade.

[@rusolarusso8372]

@@ok2760 he just doesn't like at all how they worked out their songs pre-1988, because they were recording jangly tunes in the studio, but in live performances they already were known for the extreme loudness and noisy sound and Kevin wanted to capture the live sound in a studio recording as he liked it more than the jangly songs.

[@Gabrielishere]

For me, this album is to My Bloody Valentine what "Revoler" was to The Beatles. This is the moment they found their sound. While it is excellent, I read that Kevin Shields was of course unhappy with how it turned out, and I'd love to hear him fully develop these songs in a "Loveless" vein, production - wise, because to me, these are as good as any of their best songs.
