I don't understand all the hype behind this 'new' MBV LP, I guess it's part of the miserable state of the mainstream. More of the same and pretty boring. Kevin Shields isn't definetely a hero to my taste, not even close.
Didn't Loveless come out after all the genuinely interesting bands who had that sound plus the actual material to back it up which MBV never had? I was on a forum yesterday and groups like early Curve, Ride, Slowdive (mentioned above) Parchman, Spacemen 3, Ultra Vivid Scene, The Charlottes, Blind Mr Jones,Band of Susans, Bleach, Bang Bang Machine, King of the Slums, The Telescopes et al were all thought to be far more interesting than MBV.
Having said that, did buy it to see if it was any good. The jury is still out for me
