Ha! I've been saying for years that Kevin Shields' brand of guitar noise is hugely influential on the way ALL rock music is conceived and recorded today. Now, after absorbing Primal Scream's (excellent) new album, on which Kevin Shields does production work, hopefully the rest of the world will realize that the experimental, eclectic style of recent Blur, SFA, and the Scream is the TRUE future of rock, not Radiohead and Oasis' take on 60's and 70's nostalgia. Critics are finally coming on my side -- they all write that the Scream album is noisy, noisy, noisy terrorism and bloody great for it -- remember, you all heard it first from me, hail Kevin Shields, the most powerful force in rock!!
