All of the discussions I've read on various music-related message boards have been a uniform circle jerk. At first, one of the debate points was "it's better than Isn't Anything" and then it evolved to "it's better than Loveless" which I think is pretty dumb considering its been out for just over a day.

Anyway, I have to take a drive tonight so am looking forward to hearing it.

The Ned Raggett take is (not surprisingly) the best I have read up to now.

Drove a full Beltway loop last night listening to the new MBV and I'm unapologetically joining the circle jerk bandwagon. It's genuinely great. I like that its 9 fully formed songs (I wasn't a fan of the Loveless interludes) and all of them are high quality. When it was over, all I wanted to do was listen to it again so I did.

The only shame is that this didn't come out in, say, 94 or 95. Its a very good, natural continuation from Loveless but unfortunately the headline of it is going to be "OMG 22 YRS!"

Come on, that's not really true. He didn't write nine songs in 1994, put them on a shelf, and then dust them off a month ago. He's been "writing" these songs over and over and over for the last 22 years so they're much more a product of right now than they are of the early 90s.

"Rumors spread among fans of albums being recorded and then shelved. In 1999, it was reported that Shields had delivered 60 hours of material to Island.[23] According to sources, one was possibly influenced by jungle music.[26] Shields later confirmed that at least one full album of new material was abandoned. He said, "We did an album's worth of half-finished stuff, and it did just get dumped, but it was worth dumping. It was dead. It hadn't got that spirit, that life in it."[30] Shields later said to Magnet magazine, "We are 100 percent going to make another My Bloody Valentine record unless we die or something", and attributed the band's sparse output to a lack of inspiration.[31]"

"Following their appearance at the All Tomorrows Parties festival, the New York Times reported that Shields was planning to complete the unfinished album: "I realized that all that stuff I was doing in 1996 and 1997 was a lot better than I thought."[40]"

Jake from Screen Vinyl Image is hard at work mastering the Roomrunner debut LP.  He mastered the far superior first EP of Roomrunner (when compared to the Super Vague EP, which didnt sound as full) and I am very excited to hear what this new album will bring.

The new MBV album has been out for almost a week now. I suspect that is enough time to listen to a 46-minute album more than once.

Also, you didn't answer my question from earlier. Why did you put the '$' sign after the numeral in your earlier post? I believe you typed "40$".

even a few days ago there were hundreds of reviews

i can't speak for others but for me it takes a while until i know exactly how i feel about an album… rating it after one or two listens …that is just hard for me to comprehend

I am not canadian…. but you may be onto something…
