Even though it looks like this album is actually gonna see the light of day, I'm still not that excited. After this long and this many attempts to make a follow up I'd say there's a 50% chance it's going to be a mess, and a 25% chance it'll be good but not really a MBV album. Trying to come back after this long of an absence just seems like a bad idea to me. The only example I can think of such a thing working out is Swans, and imo they are a very different band now.
I actually hope it's gonna be different, as it was Loveless when it came out. After all this is a big test for Kevin Shields: the '90s legends never released other era-defining masterpieces after their decade and he is the last one to try... I can't wait to see the result.
New track, quality isn't that good so it's kind of hard to judge, especially since a lot of what made them great was the production. For what it's worth it seems pretty much like what they always sounded like. Supposedly Shields claimed at this show that the album will be out in 3-4 days! I know he's planning on self releasing this one but it seems kind of odd to just drop such an anticipated album with no pre-marketing at all.

As if he needs pre-marketing. I'd say there's plenty of fans who know it's coming out soon, marketing wouldn't have much effect on the sales.
On another note: The song's been taken down due to copyright or whatever. Considering it got taken down before I could listen to it I'm pretty pissed off.
I literally can't get over how amazing this album is. Considering all the hype it's easy to eb disappointed but instead, I love it even more than I thought I would. I sincerely doubt there'll be anything this year to top this.
