i swear they conjured or sacrificed some shit to record 'to here knows when'



I always come back to that track and think about how otherworldly it sounds, i don't think anyone can recapture that sound

One of the most overrated albums of all time.

Curse the stain of internet generated hype.

This album has been critically acclaimed right from the start. The internet just introduced the album to a wider audience

It was but it also was written off by lot of people who had it/heard it when it came out.

I was one of them.

Nobody and I mean absolutely nobody had it as one of the greatest albums of all time or sung its praises to the extent it receives now on websites.





Ridiculed as a load of bollocks until the early 2000s when it was re-assessed by people who were steered towards it.

"Loveless has been a consistent critical favourite. It came in at number 14 in the 1991 Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics' poll. In 1999, Pitchfork named Loveless the best album of the 1990s. However, in its 2003 revision of the list, the album was moved to number two, swapping places with Radiohead's OK Computer. A 2022 listing restored it to the top spot. Pitchfork also named Loveless the greatest shoegaze album of all time. In 2000, the album was voted number 63 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it number 219 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, 221 in a 2012 revised list and 73 in another revised list published in 2020. In 2004, The Observer ranked it at number 20 in its "100 Greatest British Albums" list, declaring it "the last great extreme rock album.""





Seems like it was always praised chief

Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics' poll - wank



In 1999 Pitchfork named Loveless the best album of the 1990s - Course Pitchfork did



In 2003 Roling Stone ranked it number 219 on its list of the greatest 500 albums of all time - This is a surprise to be fair, possibly one of the reasons a lot more people gravitated towards it around that time.

In the UK the main music mags were



NME

Q

Melody Maker

Select



To be fair I think they all lathered themselves into a froth about it.

Nobody who wasn’t a critic dug it at the time though. People laughed at it.
