80s Jams #07: My Bloody Valentine "Feed Me With Your Kiss" (1988)

More in keeping with the moody, gothy rock of My Bloody Valentine's much-inferior earliest records, "Feed Me With Your Kiss" has a peculiar feel, pitched somewhere between the bombastic self-importance of mid-'80s Nick Cave and the ethereality of prime Cocteau Twins, mixed with the same sort of slightly dopey S&M-tinged lyrics as the roughly contemporaneous "Cigarette in Your Bed," proving that it was in the long run a very smart idea for Kevin Shields to completely bury the lyrics on My Bloody Valentine's later work. -- Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:abfuxb8kldde Did someone seriously get paid to write that?
