You know, whenever I play Loveless for people who haven't heard it before, they tend to say, "Boy, the vocals sure are quiet..." That's a weird album-- you have to be in a pretty specific mindset to listen to it, but if you are, it's one of the most rewarding albums ever. It's truly a strange and obsessive thing, though. It even influenced albums that came out before it was released, just on the rumors of what was happening in the studio. It took close to three years to record, with hundreds over guitar overdubs and, according to at least one interview, an entire year of recording basslines.
