lol, so true.
This is better than anything on the new MBV record.

beyond love the first two albums, especially v2.0 which is so generous in its devotion to thinking of sounds you haven't heard.

also never get tired of the "supervixen" drop-out gimmick; i am easily amused (aroused?)

an ilx classic imo

Yeah, I listened to it this morning. It's their strongest album in years. Some of the ballads are really great.

wow @ "magnetized." wow.

very positive 4 star review in the current mojo !

I'm listening to it now. Accidentally had it on shuffle and "Sometimes" going straight into "Magnetized" was incredible - disappointed it's not the actual running order. "Empty" is the only weak moment out of the first five songs so far!

Shirley's lyrics haven't got any better since the last album (which, no, stop saying things) but it really doesn't matter.
Opening of "Even If Our Love Is Doomed" reminds me of the melody of "Take Me Out". Like how part of "Night Drive Loneliness" seems to hark back to "You Look So Fine".

The enthusiasm in this thread is making me excited. Version 2.0 is like my original favourite album of all time but the last two were so not the direction they should have been following.

Empty seems like a very strange choice of single. It's one of the weakest songs on here.

Wish "We Never Tell" had had the megapop chorus it sounds like it should have had, and "So We Can Stay Alive" does but sounds like it shouldn't. Still like both of them! This is so much better than the last two records it's not even funny.

revisited most of the catalog over the past two days, and yeah, this is the best since version 2.0. gets better every time i listen to it

Nice to see this getting some pretty good reviews.

That feeling when your old favourite band releases their best album in 18 years!

I was really wanting to like this, but I didn't think too much until Magnetized. And thought the rest of the album was solidly great from there.

also not that impressed. 'Sometimes,' 'If I Lost You,' and 'We Never Tell' are great, though.
