i don't think you can have good taste if you don't LOVE my bloody valentine... and yeah, isn't anything is better than loveless, and ecstasy and wine used to be my fave lp from them. maybe the best records are the ep's 'you made me realise' and 'tremolo'.

as for the drugs, you don't need drugs to like them, their music is the drug.

[cryptowonderdruginvogue]

their music is so pretty and heavy, yet soft
i just dont understand how people cant like them.

i mean, i can
but they're just so good.

Loveless is a fucking MASTERPIECE. Isn;t anything is great but it is like slint's tweeze versus spiderland. the fruition comes from the second album.

I resisted loveless for so long, because all these pussy fucks gushed about MBV, but I bought it and love it and I can listen to it anytime and it is flawless and perfect straight through,.

Isn;t anything is genius good also.

loveless is like daydream nation, a amsterpiece so innovative that it shapes things afterwards and the innivation is forgotten.

maybe you're right, but then isn't anything is sister... guess which one is my fave?

[porkmarras]

They were a two-trick pony but 'Isn't Anything' is more viscerally emotional an album with loads of good sexual references in it.

[LittlePuppetBoy]

Both albums are great, but my fave is Loveless

[Glice]

I used to adore Loveless, less so Isn't Anything. I don't like either so much any more, thanks to playing them too much. Not a prerequisite to taste. You should probably hear them, but there's not an album made that's entirely essential (apart from the Fall's Peel sessions box set).

[finding nobody]

Loveless is just a big wall of sound that washes over your soul. It makes a freind of mine cry, some people couldn't care less about the album. I enjoy it

[nomowish]

Try listening to LOVELESS when you're half-awake.

My problem with Isn't Anything is that save for All I Need and No More Sorry, it isn't a totally specific album. And the sound's so comparatively thin that the group sounds earthbound. Yes there's more variety, but does the album feel whole for it?

And does "Cupid Come" sound like "City Girl" to anyone?

The packaging of the album's nice though, even if the overall sound of the album isn't all that blurred.

What are you talking about?A totally specific album?Eh?As far as the 'thinness' you talk about,your stereo is obviously a crap one because you're missing the crunch from the sound.Are you an aspiring journalist or what?

[king_buzzo]

i just got isnt anything and 3 other ep's burnt.

theyre quite nice.

i have loveless also it rules. yes you should listen to them

[compulsive diarrhea, jico]

Specific as in Special, distinctive, or unique

Porkmarras, maybe I don't know what thin means. But after hearing Loveless the sound of IA just sounds so plain. I hear in Feed Me With Your Kiss the crunch that you're talking about though. It's the rockiest of the bunch.

Am I an aspiring journalist? I'm insulted.

Yeah, I am.

And about my stereo, yeah, it could wamp wamp more. It's so small you could cradle it. But it's been there for me during the Times, man, believe it.

I know exactly what you mean. Isn't anything is not cohesive like Loveless. Loveless is THICK, with shields achieving his goal of perfection in sound walls.

[porkmarras]

What's wrong with WALLS OF SOUND?

[SpectralJulianIsNotDead]

I think Isn't Anything is more rocking, but Loveless is prettier (although Isn't Anything does have some very pretty moments, and Loveless does have its rocking moments)

[porkmarras]

And?

Nothing. Except someone well versed in the Wall of Sound might forget how wonderful a track with a lot of room and space in it can be.

Everything has its place.
