Seriously you guys are all taking that "half of england" comment way too literally it was merely something written off the cuff to hype the paragraph, never said it was a fact, never said they were from england. I was implying that there was just a big fanbase for that sound in the uk based on it's popularity there. Im very aware the band started in Ireland and that for the record kevin shields was born in America.
I'm also 25 and just heard the record this week so i posted it because I wanted more people to know about it. It's a fantastic record and deserved some exposure so others can enjoy it. It's nothing to do with reliving my own life as I was 5 when this came out.
The whole mbv comparison is subjective too. i def hear a close resemblance but to each their own.
All this overanalysis just kills and distracts from the excitement of the music.
