Songs Everyone Must Hear: "Only Shallow"- My Bloody Valentine
For literally one second, "Loveless" sounds like every other bullshit rock record with the overused snare drum count-in, but once that second ends it becomes one of the most important and unique guitar albums of all time. The opening track "Only Shallow" washes the listener in a sea of texture. Fuzz and reverb pulsate behind a guitar line that seems to physically move. The song is as noisy as it can get, but it still seems soft. Delicate vocals croon and lull the listener into a false sense of security before the 2 guitars that sound like 200 guitars come back to bite you. It's one of the most mature, most important, and most boundry-pushing records in the history of rock.
