My Bloody Valentine's masterpiece Loveless was released 25 years ago (November 4th, 1991). The flawless album is widely regarded as the quintessential shoegaze record -- the record that defines the genre; the textbook example of shoegaze glory. Loveless is one of the best and most influential albums of all time. It is a record that continues to inspire, and its beautiful noise is simply breathtaking upon first or five-millionth listen. Indeed Loveless is the gold standard, not just for shoegaze, but for life.
