===================

It took Kevin Shields 22 years to produce a follow-up to Loveless, the tour de force of dream pop. That's a little bit longer than it took James Joyce to write Finnegan's Wake but I don't think My Bloody Valentine Fans will be disappointed with this release, which many folks never thought would happen. Kevin is a relentless perfectionist who was never preoccupied with leaving behind a prolific body of work.

Kevin is still gazing at his shoes like it's 1992, which is probably a good thing since the dream pop genre never really gained a lot of attention two decades ago, except among a legion of aspiring guitarists who went out and bought Fender Jaguars with tremolo arms and and plugged them into dual Vox 30 AC amps to imitate Kevin Shield's warped, dream-like wall-of-guitar sound. Shield is probably the most influential rock guitarist of his generation.

I like MBV almost as much as Loveless and I'm wondering what my fellow forum members think of the new album by My Bloody Valentine.

Ì am in love with it...Basically. I have been playing it every day since it was released. It produces sounds that wrap around my childhood conscious state and bring me to a profound state of self awareness like no other music has done for me in a long time...Well since Loveless actually!

If people are dissing this album simply because of the hype and love it is getting just to be different then they can go and get ****ed, they're missing out for the sole sake of pretension.

The music is like sibilance embodied in sound.
