Man I can barely conceive not finding at least the texture/overall sound of this album at least “interesting”. You don’t have to pay your respects to history but still, if you have a sense of rock and indie music from this time it seems like this album is a huge totem vis-a-vis music that sounds like it which came after. Plus, to me, it’s so subjectively comforting and warming and enveloping so it has that going for it as well. Oh well

To me every song participates in the interesting texture of the album, although some Are better than others. “Loomer” and “blown a wish” are two of the most fetching to me, but even “to here knows when,” which is a bit Much for me, is still really interesting and thick and woozy texturally

I’m not one to push the history angle but yeah being into 80s/90s indie generally sort of helped me put loveless on a historical timeline and it is one of those records that looks really good from that vantage point somehow, in terms of influence and originality. But I also love it for sentimental reasons that I suppose you can’t access !

@robertsona If you noticed my initial critique, I did state that the album handled its atmospherics better from track 5 onward. That said, when you usually hear this many superlatives flung at an album, you don't typically expect the first 4 tracks to be comprised of either mediocrity or empty space.
Seriously, when I look at everything else that came out in 1991, this album just woefully lacks by comparison.

I was largely just laying on my bed while listening to it. I spun the first half several times before writing that first post and then I finished the second half of the album the same way after that in order to absorb it fully. So, this isn't exactly a flippant critique on my part.

Even Kevin Shields doesn't understand the lack of love here.
It's difficult to understand how one couldn't absolutely adore this record. Even out of context, musically, it's just so tonally inviting. But, I mean, it is what it is, I guess.

@justjoe This album's first half leading up to track 5 is essentially composed of a song that loses all of its entertainment value two minutes and thirty seconds in (Only Shallow), a track that is entirely pointless (Touched), a meandering pile that wastes a decent keyboard hook (To Here Knows When) and song that's just kind of flounders in mediocrity (Loomer).
It's only on When You Sleep when it finally picks up and even then, the album has a couple of moments on songs like Sometimes and Blown a Wish where it just doesn't have any direction whatsoever. The "tonally inviting" atmosphere can only get you so far. If you could be wrong about liking an album, it certainly wouldn't be about something like this.
