Isn't Anything

Released

The full-length ground zero for a sound and style that emerged in its wake, Isn’t Anything certainly wasn’t created as a shoegaze album, much less the original one, but that’s exactly what history has done for it thanks to everything it inspired. My Bloody Valentine had been around for some years but following the “You Made Me Realize” single they’d worked out a thrilling approach that wedded softly sung melodies to monstrous, careening riffs and arrangements, a cotton candy glaze over chaos on songs like “Feed Me With Your Kiss” and “Sueisfine.”
