Loveless is the second studio album by Irish rock band My Bloody Valentine. It was released on 4 November 1991 in the United Kingdom by Creation Records and in the United States by Sire Records. The album was recorded between February 1989 and September 1991. The band cycled through 19 different studios and several engineers during the album's recording; one magazine estimated the production costs at close to £250,000. Loveless peaked at number 24 on the UK Albums Chart, and was widely praised by critics for its sonic innovations and the guitar work of Kevin Shields (pictured). After the album's release, Creation owner Alan McGee found Shields too difficult to work with and dropped the band from the label. My Bloody Valentine struggled to record a follow-up to the album and broke up in 1997. Loveless has been widely cited by critics as one of the greatest albums of all time. In 2013, the album was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry.

___________________________ Wikiquote quote of the day:

In the present stages of spiritual experience, the believer's interior comfort, and his exterior lustre, greatly depend on the position of his heart toward the uncreated sun of righteousness. How obscure and benighted are our views, and how languid our exercise of grace, when an unbelieving, a worldly, or a careless spirit, interrupts our walk with God! But, if the out-goings of our souls are to him, and if the in-pourings of his blessed influence be felt, we glow, we kindle, we burn, we shine.   --Augustus Toplady https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Augustus_Toplady
