Never been able to get into it myself (and I tried), but glad people love it so much

It's taken years but I think I finally get it. I actually started enjoying it today. This and Loveless are two very distinct stages between rock music and the ethereal, this one being something like a DIY area of that in-between and Loveless being more like a highly orchestrated/directed area of that (thinking of the contrast between like DIY punk and art-rock or post-rock or whatever would be, except in the shoegaze realm). In essence, I think they're two very different viewpoints of this idea of a sound, done by the same band. I had a hard time accepting this one for so long, cause I love the You Made me Realize EP and the following EPs and Loveless so much and I didn't understand how this LP fits in between and I just kept going back to it over and over again wondering when I would ever /get/ it, and I think I'm finally on the way now.

The album that made me fall in love with mbv. Loveless is great but I think this one is deserving of praise too

As good as Loveless, coming from someone who would probably call Loveless my all-time favorite record

Great album, despite having the bad luck of being followed by Loveless. Even though I don't always like Kevin's vocals on this one, the songs are mostly great. While I love the fast tempo songs with their aggressive guitars and drums, it's the slower ones that make this a classic. Especially 'All I Need' is as good as anything on Loveless.

I used to like this way better than Loveless but then the later clicked and I never found a way back into this one

This is just as good as Loveless, what it might not be able to match in terms of soundscaping it makes up for in pure zeal and energy

Don't think I'd call it better than Loveless but it's certainly amazing in its own right.
