Synopsis

Album Description

Remastered Asian pressing. My Bloody Valentine's entire career has been aiming toward the perfect guitar noise that Kevin Shields has in his head: a pure, warm, androgynous but deeply sexual rush of sound. Loveless is overwhelming, with Shields and Bilinda Butcher's guitars and voices blending into each other until they become a distant orchestra, the rhythm section striding in majestic lockstep, and occasional bursts of dance rhythms (as on the single 'Soon') buoying the live instruments' warp and drift. Furiously loud, but seductive rather than aggressive, the album flows like a lava stream from one track into another, subsuming everything in the mix into its blissful roar, and pulsing like a lover's body. 11 total tracks. Packaged in a slip case with an additional booklet. Sony. 2005.

CD Reviews

BEWARE! THIS IS NOT A REMASTERED VERSION OF LOVELESS

"Buyers beware. Although I think MBV's Loveless is a perfect album in every way, I bought this version because it was specified as a REMASTERED version, which it is most definitely NOT. I listened to my old copy of Loveless on CD and I listened to this newer supposedly remastered copy back to back. There is no difference except for the price tag. Unless you want to pay 30 bucks for a second copy of Loveless with no bonus tracks and one that isn't remasterd I'd suggest you stay away. The only difference here is that there is an extra booklet, but it is entirely in Korean and there is a slipcover for the CD jewelcase. As a huge My Bloody Valentine fan, I was completely disappointed that I wasted my money purchasing another copy of the record with nothing of extra value. I'd give an arm and a leg for a real remastered copy of Loveless. This isn't it."

NOT REMASTERED!!!!

"I wish I would have read the user review before purchasing this CD. I got so excited at the idea of a remastered Loveless; I had to preorder it. Unfortunately, this CD sounds EXACTLY like the original. This is so disappointing and I am actually quite upset about the misleading and downright false album description. Stay away from this. If you don't have the album, buy the domestic copy."
