Alan McGee has labelled My Bloody Valentine's reunion shows as "nostalgic cabaret", after failing to be impressed by the band's comeback this year.
McGee signed the influential band to his label Creation Records and released two albums - 1988's 'Isn't Anything' and 1991's 'Loveless'. Now, writing on his MySpace blog, Alan says:
"Their [sic] is a beautiful irony that the 'nostalgic cabaret' that is My Bloody Valentine are throwing at people in 2008 gets critical acclaim in the easily pleased UK press with MBV still playing the exact same set they did 20 years ago."
"The only trick Kevin Shields has anymore in 2008 is actual volume and double extra PA to numb you and zero new songs."
McGee also adds: "My Bloody Valentine were a joke signing in 1991 maybe they got better.."
