THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN
Like the Velvet Underground, their most obvious influence, the chart success of the Jesus and Mary Chain was virtually nonexistent,
but their artistic impact was incalculable; quite simply, the Scottish group made the world safe for white noise, orchestrating a sound
dense in squalling feedback that served as an inspiration to everyone from My Bloody Valentine to Dinosaur Jr.

Arguably Psychocandy is an album with one trick & one trick alone, Beach Boys melodies meet Velvet Underground feedback and beats, all cranked up to ten and beyond, along with plenty of echo. However, what a trick it is. Following up on the promise of the earliest singles, the Jesus and Mary Chain with Psychocandy arguably created a movement without meaning to, one that itself caused echoes in everything from bliss-out shoegaze to snotty Britpop and back again. The best tracks were without question those singles, anti-pop yet pure pop at the same time: "Just Like Honey," starting off like the Ronettes heard in a canyon and weirdly beautiful with its bells, "You Trip Me Up" & its slinking sense of cool, & most especially "Never Understand." Storming down like a rumble of bricks wrapped in cotton candy and getting more and more frenetic at the end, when there's nothing but howls and screaming noise, it's one hell of a track...(AllMusic)
