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.

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

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).

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

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. |

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.

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)

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. |
