The only difference being that in Shields's case it was more of a pre-meditated thing while in the Reid brothers's case it was a more spontaneous and care-free thing.There is nothing wrong in that at all.If you look at the way a lot of bands were deemed on the british press at that time,the 'Jesus and Mary Chain-alike' or 'Noise pop' tag was applied left,right and centre on a lot of bands(The Smiths thing is another story).When they first started out as a band,My Bloody Valentine were one of them.I admire Shields's genius in that he soon realized that the formula had to move forward in order to flourish in a more creative way.And he did so with style and grace.
