3.0 good | TRMshadow | February 1st 13 | I've lightened up on it a bit over the years... but still, b/w this and Loveless it's like night and day. This very much feels like they were still figuring out their sound.

4.0 excellent | Alabaster Jones | July 22nd 15 | For those of you whose only dealing with My Bloody Valentine was their 1991 shoegaze/dream pop magnum opus Loveless, the groups debut LP, Isn't Anything, will be an entirely different beast. Here, we see the band experimenting with their sound and seeing what works. You'll hear glimpses of what they would eventually become, but you'll also hear the band as you've never heard them before. It's not too noisy, but the are still veils of texture around most of the songs that are pretty interesting to hear, and with the band's inherent catchy pop sensibilities, you essentially get a prototype of Loveless, only with so much more substance and value than that description would have you believe. Yes, there is a lot of experimentation, but it's not like the band is just throwing things against a wall to see what sticks. It's a varied and fun release that is definitely worth your time if you enjoy experimental rock.

4.0 excellent | SlantedAndEnchanted | December 8th 06 | I very much enjoy this album. Although it pales in comparison to the colossal Loveless, it still holds up on its own as a unique and strong work of late-80's alternative rock.
If you people haven't heard Loveless reading this, you have a sure treat in store for you

4.0 excellent | lz41 | June 8th 22 | The crooning wall of feedback guitar of "Loveless" is coalescing slowly across MBV's debut. The 80s hardcore is here now, gone tomorrow but it would be wrong to say that it's an unenjoyable or phony sound.

3.5 great | linsseason | February 26th 21 | This record doesn't have a rating option. This record is beyond rating.rIt's the worst thing ever to come into my ears yet I somehow cannot keep myself away from listening to it.

3.7 great | Erwann S. STAFF | April 17th 20 | This is great, but less good than Loveless and YMMR imo (im not the only one apparently). There still are some traces of their post-punk beginnings, but the dissonant guitars create a smooth layered sound sugarcoated by Bilinda's vocals, while Kevin kinda plain vocals bring a detached feeling to the droning guitars.

2.0 poor | Rik VII (sound-off ratings out of 10) | September 3rd 19 | A buzzy bee guitar cacophony that is supposed to sound dreamy I guess. The vocals are ridiculously inconsistent, but there are some very cool riffs scattered through the album, especially in the songs that dip their feet into more aggressive territory (like Nothing Much To Lose - very good song!). Fans of Loveless must not miss this. Me, on the other hand - I guess by now it's safe to say that the noisy MBV brand annoys me more than it enchants me. - 4.0

4.5 superb | Christopher Y. | May 10th 18 | Not as great as the legendary Loveless, but it is definitely one album that you should not miss to listen, because it isn't just any typical debut album.
