I have a lot of albums that I rate higher than Loveless, but none would I consider better, just different. Loveless is on another plain entirely.

Dusty Chalk is the only one who makes any sense in this thread, God help us.

It's just an album, Bee. Just an album. Pretty and all, but the whole "these tracks changed my life" dealie is supah-ovahdone when it comes to this band.

Unless it did change my life, and it did. It's hard to explain that night but Loveless really is that good if not better than what you have read. True other factors were involved but for that hour everything changed.

Also saw them twice on this tour and they were all in white with that white noise, think i lost my hearing for awhile after that.

Well, good. But I definitely make distinctions with the more grounded "made me feel moved," "deeply impressed me," "opened my eyes to musical styles and emotions" from the much more huge "changed my life."

No single band, song, album ever changed my life. Sex did, yeah. Religion, yeah, but not songs.

Songs can change your life. If I hadn't got into Mudhoney in 1988, I wouldn't have got into alternative music, wouldn't have trained to be a sound engineer, wouldn't have got a job in a bank because there is no money in sound engineering, wouldn't have meet the most important person ever in my life (bonded with, at least intially, over alternative music) and wouldn't have lost most important person in my life to become a miserable, fucked-up curmudgeon condenmned to 50 lonely years of futtering about in front of a stereo.

So you see songs CAN change your life.

Having said that My Bloody Valentine are vastly over-rated.

Sex is sex. Love on the other hand is something altogether different.

I'm a lost cause, I've known that for awhile now. The night Loveless opened me up involved acid (done that drug very few times). I don't expect many to understand. In fact I'm quite happy that it's as popular as it is, It's not some made up thing in my mind afterall.

No wonder. Loveless is acid.

Yeah, so that Autolux album really ain't too impressive. Good drummer/room sound though.

Cool, my winamp sig thing from home says I'm listening to it right now. That's comedy right there.

Damn...I thought I was making sense...

and it's hard to compare loveless to Autolux or Mogwai... It's become a "bookmark" album, putting it in a class by itself...
