Just got mine in. Mint, untouched, from Down Under; not cheap but man, it's worth it. Out of 800 titles this is one of the best produced albums I own; sounds (but of course isn't) like an excellent live recording without the audience (except on Clair, as pointed out by DidesCharlie).
@TheRidllerXXThree Yeah, "Bullet for my Valentine" made be confuse this band with those emo shitdicks.
Can't believe I stayed away from MBV after all these years, merely seconds away from listening at any point. Now I get to discovered all this great music.
I feel annoyed that I came in late though, missed the god dam reunion tour.
@deanfwj Death Valley 69 was record in 1984, released in 1985; this MBV song was released in 1987. I agree on the "kinda like" in this case; i'm an MBV fan and Death Valley is one of the few SY songs i like. You could draw a few parallel between the bands in terms of experimentation with tunings and noise, but they are really very different, entirely different writing and structure.
I've got an old Sounds from 1986/87 with an MBV interview where Sheilds says that the 'feedback' you hear in this track is in fact a recording of the crowd screaming at the Beatles Shea stadium concert.

Ha and there's me thinking 'My Bloody Valentine' is a shitty emo band, I do apologise sound similar to the Sonic Youth sound these are pretty cool

This is kinda like "Death Valley 69" by Sonic Youth, epecially at the start and chorus bit.. what was made first?

Definite similarity. "Death Valley 69" was released in 1985 and "Clair" was 1987.

@deanfwj SY's song is from '84, so that's three years earlier, from Bad Moon Rising. Yeah, I see this reaction is two years late. :-)
