What happened to Loveless sounding like vacuum cleaners and stuff? Not that I mind the change of opinion, but I was surprised.

What happened to Loveless sounding like vacuum cleaners and stuff? Not that I mind the change of opinion, but I was surprised. It still sounds like vacuum cleaners at times, but I've grown to love it after listening to it for the 4th or 5th time. It's weird. Who knows, maybe I'll like Bob Dylan in the future! Well, probably not, but I still think I could appreciate stuff like The Velvet Underground, Joy Division, The Doors, The Cure, Sonic Youth, Neil Young, etc. better as time goes by. |
