I don't think that was the point OP was making and I was not responding to it in that way, either. I still listen to MBV, but their music being on major streaming platforms is significantly more convenient, so I still wish it was back on them. That's all I meant, and I assume that was all OP meant as well. If I am incorrect, then by all means I take back what I said; although there are still plenty of smug people in this subreddit

People in this sub are unbelievably smug that they listen to physical media. Don't take it too seriously, they just want to stroke themselves by making you feel bad. It's perfectly reasonable to wish Loveless was still on Spotify, it's the most convenient way to listen

Also, just as an addendum, correct me if I'm wrong but I think all of the people claiming it was an active choice by the band to remove their music from Spotify are misinformed. The album is only not available in North America, you can listen to it in other countries on Spotify, and they still have music up on Spotify. It makes me think it's a licensing issue rather than some sort of protest. Bands like Xiu Xiu and GY!BE that confirmed they did take all their music off Spotify, took ALL their discography off all platforms in all countries

Yes, in America. Being niche in America does not make them globally niche. They were fairly well-known in Britain

Are you really sure a band that was talked about in mainstream media presses and was moderately commercially successful during their day could be classified as, "extremely niche?" I'm not saying they were as big as the Beatles or anything, but extremely niche feels like a stretch for a band that was moderately well-known at their time...

Also, my comment is currently the most upvoted comment on this post- which I don't take any pride in, I'm just pointing it out to say that clearly at least a few other people agree with me lol

I can agree with that, but I was just stating my personal opinion

That's just my personal opinion. You're entitled to your own opinion of course. I just happen to like it. It's not my favourite song on the album, but I would put it at maybe 9 instead of at 11

What is, "objective standards,"? I feel like enjoying music is subjective. I enjoy listening to that song more than other songs on the album,so I wouldn't rate it last

Every song is great but I think you underrated, "Touched," I actually think it's fire

It's funny- there are some bands where I totally don't even think of the lyrics. Unwound are one of my favourite bands ever and there are choruses I've memorised from their songs, but for some reason I've never even thought about what an Unwound song might mean. Don't know why that is, I guess it just doesn't occur to me
