My Bloody Valentine The New Record by My Bloody Valentine 12″
Pop-punk with good drums and guitars, sappy vocals that detract quite a bit. Add a different vocal track and you’d have the strength of a good JESUS AND MARY CHAIN release.

More pop than JESUS AND THE MARY CHAIN, but utilizing their noise guitar. The singing isn’t well done or enigmatic, and the overly subdued nature of the playing leaves leaves a lot to be desired. One track (“No Place to Go”) has enough energy to overcome this, but a .250 average doesn’t make it.
This one’s a quiet, creepy psych band with some real cool, icy vocals. They seem to change easily from slower songs to charging fuzz-driven noisefests like the CRAMPS without too much difficulty.
