Though it's often seen as just a precursor to their magnum opus, Loveless, in its own way My Bloody Valentine's Isn't Anything is nearly as groundbreaking as their 1991 masterpiece. Not only was it the most lucid, expansive articulation yet of the group's sound, it virtually created the shoegaze scene and spawned legions of followers. The album's tightly structured songs still bore traces of My Bloody Valentine's previous incarnation as jangly indie popsters, but Kevin Shields and company crafted wide-ranging experiments within those confines. Isn't Anything captures My Bloody Valentine's revolutionary style in its infancy and points the way to Loveless, but it's far more than just a dress rehearsal for the band's moment of greatness. ~ Heather Phares|

クリエイションの看板バンド、マイブラ。美しいメロディとギターのフィードバックノイズ。そこへ男女ヴォーカルが混じり合い生まれる浮遊感と催眠的世界は唯一無二でしょう。この作品以降マイブラは神に近づいていきます。 (C)YKYM
