With every year, Loveless seems more and more like such a boring record. I've never really liked it very much, but I listened to it last year and had to turn it off halfway through. The songs are uncompelling repetitions, the drum machine sounds like tinny shit, most of the songs are built around sometimes compelling distorted walls and simple repetetive melodies. It wouldn't be such a bad record if they hadn't already made Isn't Anything, which is such an energetic blast of awesome, creative rock, which has much better a) riffs b) melodies and even c) noises! I just can't stand to listen to Loveless, it goes on forever; some of the songs sound like straight-up boring grunge songs, albeit with a bit more distortion. How much did that record cost to make? 3 million? I think Lovelss is an important record, but it's one I'll never fully understand the appeal of, especially from a band who had already made so many good songs before that particular album.
I still wish I'd seen 'em live though, I bet they were great. Anyway...
