My Bloody Record Review: First Listen of “MBV” by My Bloody Valentine

It was totally worth waiting 22 years for. And it was weirdly released, in a flurry, and broke the Internet. And Twitter was really entertaining for a few hours. And I made this Grumpy Cat thing. The end.

Here’s my tweet-by-tweet review, as I listened, and half of the universe still struggled to download it. Now I’m not saying this is a well-edited or conceived review befitting inclusion in Da Capo’s Best Music Writing compilations. It’s just my gut, coming out in 140 characters-ish at a time. Everywhere else will delve into chin-scratching, navel- and shoegazing, so I’ll leave them to it, and you to this. There’s only so many ways one can describe “reverb.” \m/
