A truly great band.

"Unless you consider The Stooges first album, the MC5, Can, or Suicide as metal, then I don't think you'll see Loop as a metal band (see below review). Mix the aforementioned bands with late '60s psychedelia, droning fuzz, and douse the whole thing in washes of reverb and you'll get an idea of what Loop is about. Their albums are enigmatic, hipnotic, repetitive, and yes, that is a recommendation. Spacemen 3, Ride, the Telescopes, all these fellow so called "shoegaze" groups truly pale in comparison."
Overlooked classic psychedelic album.

"Though, compared to the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Spacemen 3, and other bands of the shoegazer-era, Loop had very little in common with them. While Loop did have the hypnotic qualities of those bands, they did it with more of a hard rocking and, dare I say it, metal quality to their songs.
All of their albums are out of print, but if you can find them for a reasonable price, go ahead and pick them."
Got Loop?

"Get smart. Get this record. Get Fade Out. Great Googly Moogly get Fade Out. Get A Gilded Eternity. Just in case get Wolf Flow and The World in Your Eyes. Get a proper sound system to play them on. Get high. Get down. Goodness gracious yes get going."
