Title: one of a kind
Product review: It's safe to say there's nothing in my CD collection that quite approaches the attempt of Loveless, which sounds a bit like hearing REM through your neighbor's heating vent while vacuuming. That speaks highly of the record though, which takes a safe musical form and warps it until it's vaguely unrecognizable and a bit threatening. Loveless has a genuine beauty and solipsistic originality that's invasive and fascinating; songs like "Only Shallow" and "To Here Knows When" become more and more interesting the more you hear them, and the record tends to have lines and songs that pounce just when you're about give up on them. Take a line like "Fall apart my bleeding heart/ Nothing left to lose/ Once in love/ I'll be the death of you" in "Blown a Wish" - it's a bit of a silent alarm, which basically describes the entire record.
