Rating: I don't want to write a review or even a mishmash of random words, this album shouldn't be discussed, analyzed, there's no need to delve into the nuances of every song, there's no need to compare it to other bands in this musical sphere, it's a white fly where you just need to close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by the walls of sound and the simple dreamy melodies, perfection doesn't exist, but who are we to decide whether something is perfect or not? Isn't it perhaps imperfection that gives us the satisfaction of existing? In these seas of musical fog, perhaps we find our life.
Before life there is silence, you turn on the amplifier, adjust the bass, open the CD player door, insert the disc and wait...
(1)a bad dream that makes you anxious, shakes and disturbs your head, but it's just a step to enter those dreamy clearings with the summer sun high in the sky, now that anxiety is just a wait to see those green fields again, those beautiful sensations you carry inside. (2) is it a storm or is it the sound of something in the distance approaching, but never arriving, we're all here waiting for its arrival to be able to embrace it, to be able to embrace this blowing wind. (3) its touch has arrived, a shapeless substance that envelops the body that seems to never let you go away. (4) you are completely insulated, you no longer distinguish the real from the unreal, you no longer distinguish words, you no longer distinguish music, but you sense its melodies, you don't know if you exist, you don't know where you are, and you don't know when. (5) you are sleeping and everything around you becomes solely yours, you are one with your world, you feel sweet and clinging to your pillow and blankets, trying to discover a fanciful and dreamy world outside of the reality that now kills art in its manifold forms, don't fret and neither stay still. (6) now you have closed your eyes and with seagull wings you fly over the still snow-capped mountains, with drops of water from the soft, calm white clouds on your face, letting yourself be carried away by the cyclone. (7) the sun is setting but you are not the sad person, because you know it will return the next day, even higher, even brighter, savor instead its reddish hues mixed with the bluest skies, and don't do it alone. (8) the full moon night illuminates everything that gets lost in it, you don't distinguish figures, you don't distinguish things, you are immersed in another storm, this time aware, this time more melancholic, you need something, or perhaps someone, someone to warm you inside. (9) now this is what you desire, you want to make it reach anyone willing to accept your request, still blinded, still insulated, you interact with reality and now live in this world that isn't clear but makes you unique and protected. (10) finally, you have decided which side you want to be on, reality and truth hurt too much for a young person too weak, you prefer to live in nothingness than die in everything, but even dreams can end. (11) this is not a goodbye, but just a see you later, perhaps to a future dive, maybe of another underwater world, or a return to this world that has so overwhelmed you, that has so changed your vision of life, it is still deep night and the sun no longer wants to peep above the horizon, maybe it's still time to dream.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Only Shallow (04:19)
Sleep
Like pillow
No one there
Where
She won't care
Anywhere
Soft
As pillow
Touch her there
Where
She won't dare
Somewhere
Sweet
And mellow
Softer there
Feel
Like you grew
Stronger there
Speak
Your trouble
She's not square
Soft
Like her silk
Everywhere
Sleep
Like pillow
Comfort there
Where
She won't dare
Anywhere
Look
In mirror
She's not there
Where
She won't care
Somewhere
02 Loomer (02:40)
Tiptoe down
To the holy places
Where you going now
Don't turn around
Little girls
In their party dresses
Didn't like
Anything there
Pretty boys
With their sunshine faces
Carrying their
Heads down
Tiptoe down
To the lonely places
Where you going now
Don't turn around
04 To Here Knows When (05:33)
Kiss
Your fear
Your red button
Falls from my mouth
Slip
Your dress
Over your head
It's been so long
Move
On top
Because that way
You touch her too
Turn
Your head
Come back again
To here knows when

08 Sometimes (05:21)
Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know how you could not love me now
You will know, with her feet down to the ground

Into sound
I don't know when I lay down on the ground
You will find the __ __ hurts to love
Never cared, and the world turned hearts to love
We will see, oh now, in a day or two

See me go
I don't care, when you're head turned __ _ __
You will wait, when I turn my eyes around
Overhead when I hold you next to me
Overhead, to know the way I see
Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know, maybe you could not hurt me now
Here alone, when I feel down too
Over there, when I await true love for you
You can hide, oh now, the way I do
You can see, oh now, oh the way I do
09 Blown a Wish (03:38)
Midnight wish
Blow me a kiss
I'll blow one to you
Make like this
Try to pretend it's true
Show me all your favorite things
Show you all mine too
Make a wish
I'll give it all to you
Welcome to your promises
Welcome to mine too
Caught like this
I'll turn it in with you
Fall apart my bleeding heart
Nothing left to do
Once in love
I'll be the death of you
11 Soon (06:58)
Wake up
Don't fear
I want to
Love you
Yeah (doll of pain)
I let you get to me
Yeah yeah
Come back
Don't be
Afraid of me
Soon
That (I'll harm you)
Your eyes are blue
Blue jewels
Yeah yeah
Come back
Have faith
Someone like you
Can find the reason
Of what I did to you
Yeah yeah
Wake up
Don't fear
I want to
Love you
Yeah (doll of pain)
I let you get to me
Yeah yeah

If Van Gogh had been a rocker, he would have sounded like this.
Melodies that tickle the unconscious, unlocking distant memories and unspoken desires.
By R13557436
Listening to this album is undoubtedly the greatest sensory and metaphysical experience a person can have.
Loveless is proof of the existence of the divine, a unique work that even escapes itself.
By joe strummer
All of My Bloody Valentine’s music is a perpetual clash between noise and beauty, between animalistic violence and divine sensitivity.
"Isn’t Anything" carries all the seeds that will bear fruit in 1991, yet it maintains its distinctive profile.
By joe strummer
"Loveless stuns with an unheard power and immediacy. Here lies the entire essence of rock. Violence and purity. Hypnosis and spontaneity."
"This album is exactly that, a huge accumulation of distortions, combined with the typically English melodic urgency and an unprecedented electronic framework."
By theJOKE
If you think an album must be immediate, concise, and catchy... then don’t judge this rare unique jewel of the world.
MBV managed to imprint transposed and metaphysical images on a musical album.
