#2062 Chapterhouse - Whirlpool

Can I confess I never loved Loveless all that much ('Sometimes' aside)? For all its innovation and beard-scratching grist, it was such a ruined listen - all that shoegazey texture crashed by those screaming lead lines, those warped vocals, just a crass lack of balance.

Worse yet, for what it is, I actually like this also-ran album better: it's just prettier, with agreeable little beats that plod and pulse and skitter as the song demands. Top-shelf spaceout fuel 4/5
