The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

It’s got a very hardcore nuum chord structure.

Okay Wonder 2 is the dnb track.

So happy they didn't dip their toes into dubstep tbh

OMG the build!!!!!

love "New You."

Wonder 2 = Soon 2.0. Makes sense.

Can I just say: FUCKING WOW!

yeah New You is amazing. that's the radio-friendly one right there.

i won't believe it until i hear it.

Wonder 2 is definitely no Soon.

oh god can't believe this is happening

weird hearing these songs with an actual colm

I'm getting the 24 bit 96 khz WAVs. I have the hardware. fuck you kevin shields. 1.5 gigabytes !

320 I downloaded very possibly a transocde, 24/96 is a major improvement to my ears. (Please note I have drunk a lot of rum)

maybe someone should post a download link on 77

downloading now ahhh!

fades instead of segues

maybe someone should post a download link on 77

Plz dont do this

To try to get an idea before I pay for it: does this stuff sound similar to Loveless, similar to Isn't Anything-era, or like something new and distinct?

"distinct from both"

Eager to know as well.

cmon no one reads 77 anymore

much more like loveless than IA, with some new angles thrown in

Well, after a shivers-accompanied first listen, this sounds like the closest possible thing to a 'mature' MBV album. It doesn't knock you out of your seat with the way the guitars stampede in out of the little interludes on Loveless. But my immediate response to the songwriting is that it's just so, so beautiful - the dreaminess is unparalled! You could also say they sound more like a real band in a room, enhanced by very detailed-'sounding' (obv. we can't know yet) overdubs and layerings, and with those newly-forceful (compared to their past two) live drums from Colm..

Additionally, nobody has any promo codes I figure?

"new you" and "in another way" are super fun

also fuck kevin sheilds for only providing a 24/96 download. where's my 24/192 download. ; )

idk why I figured Colm would still be a smacked-out sloppy drummer

hahahaha sweet nin riff on "nothing is"

first track is killer, very powerful drumming!

The drumming is damn powerful throughout so far.

welp "nothing is" is kicking my ass

was expecting to be cynical about this record but nope

where's my 24/192 download

I was expecting to buy the multitrack.

i wish mbv had more distinct song titles

btw if you have a mac and are downloading the 24/96, I recommend using this player: http://sbooth.org/Decibel/

(obv only if you have an external DAC capable of handling the juice etc. etc.)

"wonder 2"!!!!!!!???!?!!!!!

maybe i just got really drunk

2 tracks i didn't like on 1st listen, and 7 i can't wait to hear again. much much better strike rate than i expected tbh.

Oh god I love how warm this sounds.

first track incredible

"weird hearing these songs with an actual colm"

do we know he actually played on this one?

"idk why I figured Colm would still be a smacked-out sloppy drummer"

he's like the most normal guy in the world

Listening to this, and I say this as the biggest MBV fan around, totally fucking with the new album, but it makes you wonder though: They could have released this in 1994. Kevin must have LOLLED so hard postponing this until now. Fucking twisted genius he is.

MBV were always timeless, and they are now, too.

Incredible album. Fucking incredible.

Yeah it does sound super 90s. LOVE IT. Makes me feel like i kid again.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

xp

Especially that last track, oh hell yes!
