Isn’t Anything
Album Description
Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. This exclusive version also comes with bonus EP comprising of their rare recordings, scheduled to be included in their upcoming Japan only box set release. Remastered by Kevin Shields. Sony. 2008.Amazon.com
Three years before 1991′s Loveless, My Bloody Valentine‘s masterwork of impossibly dense soundscapes, the Dublin quartet offered some fairly affecting dream pop on its first full-length album, Isn’t Anything. Both worthy of Creation’s “shoe-gazing” heritage and skewed enough to stand up next to pre-grunge guitar bands like Sonic Youth and the Pixies, the record makes the most of a group that hadn’t yet found its bearings. And at its best, Isn’t Anything hints at how great it will be when their sonic discoveries are finally honed. –Roni Sarig
I like “Isn’t Anything” better than “Loveless”. if you think otherwise, then you should consider fu**ing off.
First off, the lyrics to many of these songs rock. the lyrics for “soft as snow” are cool.
Secondly many of these songs rock. Look no further than “Feed Me with Your Kiss” and “You Never Should”.
Thirdly buy this record or suffer the consequences of Kevin Shield’s wrath.
best songs:
“Cupid Come”, “feed me with your Kiss”, “sueisfine”, “when you wake, your still in a dream”
Songs that suck:
“No MOre sorry”

This is college mope-rock at its absolute worst. Having enjoyed ‘Loveless’, I was shocked to hear how dry the production is. This is not kind to ANY element of MBV, and shows why Shields dialed up the guitar and swept everything else under the rug on ‘Loveless’. An act of sheer necessity. From the milk-carton snare to the absurdly morose vocals of Shields and Butcher, to the droning, insipidly downbeat drivel of the songs themselves, this is bad, bad stuff here, folks. If this was MBV’s last record, only the most defiantly non-conformist indie poseur would like this or make the effort to convince themselves they did.

This is the worst crap ever. No talent, no ideas…just noise. No melody, not even a mood…just children playing around on electric instruments without a clue. What a shame that the people who listen to this…crap…waste their time, when there is so much good music to listen to: blues, r&b, classical, jazz, rock, punk, alternative, country, etc. This is nothing music for people who think they know what is hip but really know nothing.

So I love “Loveless” and so decided to add some more MBV to my collection. And seeing that this album got the same ratings as “Loveless” I went for it – sadly, without listening to the preview clips. Alas, I found this album to be, frankly, an absolute MESS! None of the semi-melodious, invitingly-droning, enveloping, soundscapeness that makes me fond of “Loveless”. Very hard to listen to, not very approachable for an average music appreciator. My face was kinda scrunched up in confusion as I tried my best to listen to every track but ended up skip forward through them all within a mere 20 minutes and started wondering how much I’m gonna get for it at the used CD store. Yikes. I ended up getting cold feet on the other 2 MBV cd’s I ordered along with it and they currently await the postman to take them back to Amazon unopened for a refund.
