What he left behind was his best lyrical and singing work. The lyrics and their hidden meanings provide significant intrigue and an element of bittersweetness to the album, while the evolving and finally maturing noisy guitar sound creates walls of immense noise, coupled with brilliant percussion work.r"Sunny Sundae Smile" is seemingly the weakest track on the album, with a volume conflict between vocal and instrumentation tracks, but it's a banger nonetheless.r"Paint a Rainbow" is both pleasant and horrifying - the lyrics describe necrophilia, but it paints it in such a beautiful light, thanks to David's r"Kiss the Eclipse" is one of my favorite songs. It's delightfully sung - juxtapose this with the emotions the lyrics give off. I can't put into words how much I like this song.r"Sylvie's Head" is a more carefree song that reminds me of middle school - talking crap about others - but continues the tradition of marrying excellent vocals, horrifying lyrics, and banging noisy sound.rTo sum this album up: Unexpected excellent vocal work, lyrics that turn a sweet song into a horror song, and amazing, poppy noise.My Bloody Valentine You Made Me RealisePublic Enemy Yo!

Rap and DJ Polo Road to the RichesLilys In the Presence of NothingMy Bloody Valentine EcstasyIf you like twee married with noise, this album is one of the best. It's bittersweet, the instrumentation matches this sentiment, and it's brilliantly executed. "Please Lose Yourself in Me" and "The Things I Miss" stand out as some of MBV's best songs, but the rest are mediocre to good tracks - nothing that stands out.My Bloody Valentine GliderMy Bloody Valentine EPs 1988-1991My Bloody Valentine Isn't AnythingOzean OzeanPublic Enemy Fear of a Black PlanetSlowdive SouvlakiSlowdive Outside Your RoomSlowdive Holding Our BreathSpiritualized Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in SpaceSuper Lover Cee and Casanova Rud Girls I Got 'Em LockedTally Hall Good & EvilTangerine Dream TangramThe Jesus and Mary Chain PsychocandyThe Pains of Being Pure at Heart The Pains of Being Pure at HeartThe Smiths Louder Than BombsThe Smiths Meat Is Murder3.5 greatBowery Electric BeatChapterhouse WhirlpoolDaft Punk HomeworkDaft Punk Human After AllDaft Punk Alive 1997Depeche Mode The Singles 81→85Duran Duran Seven and the Ragged TigerMy Bloody Valentine Geek!A much better album with more interesting music, better vocals by David Conway, a noisy sound by Kevin Shields, and excellent percussion from Colm O'Coisoig. Although long-time bassist Debbie Googe joined with this album, her contributions aren't that noticeable.rThere isn't any bad tracks on this album, though none stand out.r"No Place to Go" is a great track, filled with overpowering yet controlled noise, but it doesn't resonate in the head for very long.r"Moonlight" is a bit slow for my liking, though still a good track. Conway's vocals aren't perfect for the track, unfortunately - they're not consistent in their depth.r"Love Machine" is the weakest track in the EP, but it's not terrible.r"The Sandman Never Sleeps" is one of my favorites from this early era, combining the best traits of Conway's singing and lyric writing with some of the better instrumentation from this era of MBV.rOverall, a solid album, but their sound greatly improves in later albums.My Bloody Valentine Strawberry WineTo sum this single up: MBV doesn't know how to implement their vocals yet. The noise is still there, although toned down since Sunny Sundae Smile, but the vocals aren't yet there. Still, the music bangs. All three tracks are good, although none of them are great.My Bloody Valentine m b vMy Bloody Valentine Ecstasy and WineOK Go Oh NoPublic Enemy It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us BackPublic Enemy RevolverlutionPublic Enemy There's A Poison Going OnPublic Enemy Greatest MissesSlowdive PygmalionSmash Mouth Fush Yu MangTangerine Dream PhaedraTangerine Dream StratosfearThe Smiths The Smiths3.0 goodDream Theater When Dream and Day UniteKomar, Melamid and Dave Soldier People's Choice MusicMy Bloody Valentine This Is Your Bloody ValentineMy Bloody Valentine Feed Me with Your KissUnfortunately, this album is let down by Kevin Shields's vocals being meh. It retains the excellent instrumentation MBV's known for, but it's admittedly weaker in this EP than it is in other albums.Slowdive 5The Smiths Strangeways, Here We Come2.5 averageAdele 25Bowery Electric LushlifeMy Bloody Valentine The New Record By My Bloody ValentineAlthough an improvement on instrumentation over Geek!, the lyrics and vocals are "sucky" compared to their prior work. Conway's overt Lovecraftian lyrics disappear and intrigue is lost due to it. Still an average album, thanks to the improved production quality.Public Enemy How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People..Public Enemy New Whirl OdorPublic Enemy He Got GameTangerine Dream Electronic MeditationTangerine Dream Atem2.0 poorPublic Enemy Most Of My Heroes Still Don't Appear On No StampTangerine Dream Cyclone1.5 very poorMy Bloody Valentine Man You Love to HateThe Shaggs Philosophy of the World1.0 awfulPublic Enemy Rebirth of a Nation
