rock has not progressed in 35 years. Siouxsie & The Banshees, Love In A Void
music
- nirvana, nevermind, 1991
with the passing of time, the guitars no longer matter. instead, i notice how the vocals distort naturally with emotion. how the bass bounces and travels, how impeccably the drums were recorded, the drummer’s wit and vehemence. it could be released in 2008 and still sound new.
- my bloody valentine, loveless, 1991
just as vertiginous and beautiful but somehow dated, like an orphaned technology. probably, the drums are to blame.
