somehow this song - which was my fave from 2013 - sounds so shit on speakers i can't believe it. i always listened to it on earplugs all year long but now i am listening to it at home on the stereo. and the whole thing sounds so muddy, so low quality, so crap. is this maybe a song which has to be listened to on your own, a headphone track? listened to in the right circumstances it is a mind-fucker, that's for sure.

speakers are from the uk, celestion. amp is an old jvc. maybe it is the ipod. but somehow i don't believe it. does mbv sound better than loveless on your stereo nick?

because loveless already had this terrible wishy-washy sound.

i haven,t heard the loveless reissue yet, but wrt the Isn't Anything reissue, i was really impressed by how much more defined and 'thick' the guitars were. it reminds me of the mobile fidelity issue of nevermind.
