i hate that this pretentious ass opinion is gna make me check this album out because i think loveless is absolute peak music but i also love a good hatsune miku compilation album
I unironically think Mikgazer is a better album than Loveless. I generally prefer more variety in albums and this truly feels like an incredible compilation of all the different sounds shoegaze bands inhabited from the 90s to 2010s from both the east and west
@maliceisonline@TWINFANTASYMTF i harbor some animosity towards slopgaze bc its hard to find people doing anything that hasn’t been done already by bands that have 30 years on them
@TWINFANTASYMTF regarding loveless, i think something that gets kinda lost on people is that MBV’s early sound is a sonic evolution from post-punk/gothic rock and i think that kinda loses a big chunk of people because it’s not a super accessible sound anymore
@TWINFANTASYMTF another example is how frequently people kinda treat songwriting in shoegaze as an afterthought, the best of the best shoegaze albums have strong songwriting (ceres and calypso in the deep time reigns supreme)
