''Loveless'', while only a modest commercial success, was so critically adored that every other shoegaze work (most notably Music/{{Slowdive}}'s ''Souvlaki'') was [[ToughActToFollow compared to]] it, ensuring the genre's death. With shoegazing's GenreRelaunch in the [[TurnOfTheMillennium late '00s]]-[[TheNewTens '10s]], comparisons are ''still'' thrown around, no matter how heavy (Music/APlaceToBuryStrangers) or light (DIIV) your sound is. Needless to say, ''Loveless'' has since gone down as one of the most influential albums of all time. Funnily enough, Shields expected the album to be [[ItWillNeverCatchOn savaged by all reviewers]]; instead, the exact opposite happened.

''Loveless'' is the second studio album by Irish {{shoegazing}} band Music/MyBloodyValentine, released in 1991. It is considered both the greatest work and [[GenreKiller unfortunate killer]] of the shoegazing genre as a whole.
