"I prefer it raw"

I prefer this to the more well known 'Loveless.' Unlike that album, which is great, 'Isn't Anything' is more legible to me-that is, the lack of glossy production allows the amazing technique of Shields and co. to come through more clearly. Sexy and Violent.

Before buying this old and not remastered release, you might be interested to know that a new, remastered version will be out in the UK in March 2009. The starting price is the same as the old version...

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.
"AMAZING"

This is one of those albums than everybody ought to have in their possession. MBV is THE shoegaze band, and this is their most all-out effort. The songwriting here is impeccable, and the musical style is definitive of the "shoegaze" movement. This is the album that everybody and anybody who considers their music shoegaze will be compared to.
I would have to say I prefer this album to LOVELESS. The guitars don't fill up the speakers in a strange, otherworldly way quite like they do on that album, but there's still plenty of lush guitar noize to savour. It must be the unrestrained rocking-out which matches the dream pop that I really love - especially on the second side (beginning with "Feed Me With Your Kiss"). That side really JAMS in a gleeful kind of way - gives me a great feeling. "Sueisfine" is pretty trippy and I swear they're really saying 'Suicide' which is a twisted thing to gleefully repeat over and over. "Several Girls Galore" is darker and more sensual with bassier drums to match the seductive female vocals. "Nothing Much To Lose" is another highlight with absolutely spastic drums that do something different each time they cut loose. This song is one of several that takes dramatic turns, leading the listener to surprisingly different places - a bit like 2 or 3 songs in 1.
Side 1 has some real gems on it as well, but I'm not too crazy about the slower songs "Lose My Breath" and "No More Sorry." They're not great musically; they're a bit atonal-sounding in fact. However, I've gotten more used to them in time and actually have an appreciation for them. "All I Need" is another slow one which might take some getting used to, but its brilliance shines through with its V.U. pulse and shimmering guitar wash. To be honest, Kevin Shields doesn't have the strongest vocal quality, but I dig it nevertheless. These minor drawbacks aren't nearly enough to deny this album the 5 star rating it deserves. An alt-rock classic and every bit as essential as LOVELESS.
