No because Isn’t Anything is better than Loveless on some days

Remember finding a 2nd hand copy of This Is Your Bloody Valentine in a shop in the US, asking here if I should buy it, and getting a resounding no :smiley:

Think they’ve tried to bury it as a ‘mini album’

I remember being so excited when I found it, before the internet made it easy, was green album levels of disappointment

There’s a tonne of pre-Isn’t Anything stuff but it’s almost a different band.

Really early stuff was sub-Cramps/Birthday Party type goth stuff (with a different singer), then they went all jangle pop in the mid 80s, that stuff is pretty decent.

I’m not sure there are any “proper” albums though, just lots of 12”s and 7”s and sub-30 minute releases and compilations.

Bowl cuts aside this is great

Edit: that’s actually the original singer too! His last release.

Yeah! (but released after Isn’t Anything as a cash in)

I have that CD somewhere as well, similarly I asked here and the answer was a yes :+1:

Very much this. I actually had to go and double-check I really had it before replying.

Ecstasy and Wine isn’t bad. It’s jangly indie pop but there’s a few tracks where you can already hear the ideas and bus of guitar which are going to run through the You Made Me Realise B-sides.

Crazy to think MBV have been going nearly forty years.

Would call This is… and Ecstacy mini albums at least.

On the other hand, I think Come On Pilgrim is the first Pixies album.

My pick for this. Second-rate pop punk to a 60-minute indie-rock masterpiece.
