# ***HAPPY BIRTHDAY to LOVELESS, album from MY BLOODY VALENTINE! ***
# ***30 YEARS! ***
Since its release (11 NOV 1991), Loveless has been widely cited by critics as one of the greatest albums of all time, a landmark work of the shoegaze subgenre, and as a significant influence on various subsequent artists. In 2012, it was reissued as a two-CD set, including remastered tracks and a previously unreleased half-inch analogue tape version, and peaked on several international charts. In 2013, Loveless was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry.
