  A cathedral of blistering distortion and whispered intimacy, Loveless is sensual, disorienting, and deafening at once — the high-water mark of shoegaze and still unmatched in sheer sonic immersion. Kevin Shields' guitars don’t really behave like guitars at all, they smear, bend, and dissolve into sensation; Bilinda Butcher’s vocals drift through the mix like half-remembered thoughts. Beneath it all though, songs like “Only Shallow” and “Sometimes” are remarkably delicate, almost fragile in their melodic cores.
