Isn't Anything is no Loveless stepchild

Way back before an internet beaming 2-4-7, before the coined terms multiplying underground music, there was Husker Du. And much like Sonic Youth I wasn't prepared for songwriting to take a blistering sheet metal turn to rhythmic tantrums. I fell quick and deep for it. When Husker Du went away I was long crashing with The Jesus and Mary Chain. Then there was Dinosaur Jr.'s SST heyday setting a table of knives that became the perfect storm called Isn't Anything. And I was playing guitar by now, asking teachers how to play these static melodies. I'm glad they all refused. I'm glad they did not understand. =m.

Isn't Anything started it all...

This is a groundbreaking and inspiring record from the band that defined shoegaze back in the '80s and '90s. My Bloody Valentine spawned an entire scene of look-alikes and pretenders, but MBV dishes out the real deal here. This is amazing music, the likes of which no one had ever heard when it was released. Twenty years later and it still sounds just as far ahead of its time as it was back then: that's wild. My favorite cuts are Lose My Breath, Sueisfine, and I Can See It (But I Can't Feel It). Honestly though, this entire album is worth the purchase. Everyone deserves to treat themselves to hearing My Bloody Valentine.

Great! Stands up to Loveless surprisingly well.

Though, keep in mind that it's a different type of album. But I really like what it has to offer. Don't make the mistake of neglecting MBV's first masterpiece.

Also, I see that iTunes is offering another (identical) version of this album released by Creation. I think that's great, it gives you the opportunity to by from an independent source, as the album was originally released.

Biography

Formed: 1984 in Dublin, Ireland

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s

Like the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, and the Jesus & Mary Chain before them, My Bloody Valentine redefined what noise meant within the context of pop songwriting. Led by guitarist Kevin Shields, the group released several EPs in the mid-'80s before recording the era-defining Isn't Anything in 1988, a record that merged lilting, ethereal melodies of the Cocteau Twins with crushingly loud, shimmering distortion. Though My Bloody Valentine rejected rock & roll conventions, they didn't subscribe...
