Kevin Shields promises new MBV album

Some pretty exciting news came out of the January/February issue of Magnet Magazine. Given the source though, it's probably best to take it with a healthy grain of salt. Speaking with the magazine, Kevin Shields reveals that he fully intends to record the follow-up to 1991's Loveless at one point. Here's what Shields had to say:
"We are 100% going to make another My Bloody Valentine record unless we die or something. I'd feel really bad if I didn't make another record. Like, shit, people only got the first two chapters, but the last bit is the best bit. It's just that it's taken me such an oddly long time for that to happen."
As for why it's taken the band the aforementioned oddly long time, Shields offers the following reason:
"A lot of people say the reason My Bloody Valentine didn't make another record is because we couldn't. That's mostly true, but not because we couldn't make another record, but because I never could be bothered to make another record unless I was really excited by it. And just by fate or whatever, that never happened. I'm quite optimistic about the future, even though experience has taught me that I'm probably just delusional."
So, does anyone think My Bloody Valentine will ever actually release another album? More importantly, will it be any good? Leave some comments below.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I'm not getting a "Chinese Democracy" vibe here.... which is a GOOD THING. I think that if Shields does actually MAKE the album, it could be pretty worthwhile. Of course... that's a big if.

It could certainly be great, if it gets made. I think the big challenge is moving forward in a genre that has progressed a fair bit since they essentially began it.
