Isn't Anything

I've become quite partial to a bit of shoe-gaze so I wasn't expecting this tuneless, mumbling mess. Musically it lost me in the first 5 seconds & never got me back. And I have no clue as to it's lyrical merit - passing such judgement requires the lyrics to be audible.

I continue to fail to see the appeal of this band. For a solid 75% of this album, it sounds like the band and the vocalist are working off of different set lists. The vocals just... don't match the music rhythmically OR melodically. Sometimes, they don't even seem to be in the same key. Why?! Why do people fawn over this crap?

not for me. 1 star.

My Bloody Boring more like, dull

There Isn’t Anything on this album I want to hear again

Noise

Didn't like last weeks MBV album. This one's no different

Off beat and moaning, like a crackhead faking an orgasm. The best thing I can call this album is generic.

This was just dirge.

It's like there were flashes of good music for like four seconds at a time, followed by the most annoying whining over semi-interesting but sloppy drums. Not my thing

Makes me wish for autotune

I never could get into shoegaze, and MBV is probably the most notable purveyors of this genre. To me it's just too noisy and gimmicky and it wears on you fast. They improve a bit with their subsequent album Loveless (which is a fan favourite), but this album was not fun to listen to at all.

I’m not some depressed emo so that was painful to listen to

Nummers wel okee maar stem echt kattengejank

I hadn't heard of the genre "Shoegaze" before but I can definitively say it is not for me. This album is both too much sound-wise and too little vocally - muted singing and often off-key and weak. I could only handle about a minute or so of each song before having to skip to the next - I was viscerally cringing through the whole thing

I try not to say albums suck because I typically believe there is something in the music for someone but this album sucked. There wasn't anything good musically about it and it was just dissonant annoying sounds for over 30 minutes

There was truly nothing enjoyable about listening to this album. It’s very noisy, terrible production quality, and unpleasant in sound, instrumentation and vocal.

They didn't even try to make it sound good. Thought this was bullet for my valentine, minus points for getting my hopes up (I want to give this a zero, but that's not possible, so I give this a one)

I respect the artistic choices but this style of music is not for me, all the distortion and arrhythmic elements made me feel super overstimulated and I couldn’t get into it

This album just completely missed the mark for me. Very vanilla for me. Nothing stood out. Wasn’t an enjoyable listen. 1

Shit music for twats

My Bloody racket more like

I thought this really picked up at the end until I realised the album was over and I was actually listening to Radiohead

What was this? It's weirdly mixed, like someone experimenting with a mixing software and just adding all the different parts they made up on the stop to see if they could

Sometimes I get why someone or some band has more than one album on the 1001 list (like Beatles or Bowie, for example), but in some situations is hard to get why "My Bloody Valentine" got three spots on it (please, be only 3). Ok, they are some ~different~ kinds of rock but let's agree that just a quick demonstration is enough to show precisely why/what/how they change with their music, and it's done. It's not necessary to listen to another half an hour of it. Well, after the first rage section, the album is actually better than the other ones that I got here ("Loveless" and "m.b.v"). At least it is a less annoying, more straightforward song. So I'll rate it with 1-star just for justice with my ears since I gave 2 for the others (worst) ones for some reason that just the past me will know (my comment on it was that the noise sound hypnotized me, and I can't use a better word).

1/10

One of the worst albums I’ve ever heard. Nails on a chalkboard. No clue what it is doing here.

literally terrible. I do not know why anyone would ever willingly listen to this collection of noises.

I don't like the singing. Couldn't find a lot in this album I liked. Luckily, it wasn't that long.

My ears don't like it. Constant droning. NO.

soft as snow (but warm inside) - 2 lose my breath - 2 cupid come - 3 (when you wake) you’re still in a dream - 4 no more sorry - 2 all i need - 1 feed me with your kisses - 2 sueisfine- 2 several girls galore - 2 you never should - 2 nothing much to lose - 3 i can see it (but i can’t feel it) - 2

Klinkt alsof het op een zaterdagmiddag in een garage in elkaar is gezet. En dat men gaandeweg de opnamen er steeds meer met de pet naar is gaan gooien. De titel van de plaat zegt het eigenlijk al, het 'is helemaal niks'.

Dit album luister je niet bij een goed gesprek. Je luistert het niet tijdens het wegwerken van je werkmail. En je luistert het niet in de auto. Kortom. Je luistert het niet. Nooit.

Oh dear, I think my Alexa might need servicing, it seems to be playing out of tune?

Too much for me

Honestly the worst album I've ever heard.

Started boring, graduated to bad over the next few songs, achieving awful by Feed Me With Your Kiss. I couldn't wait for it to end. Best "song": Sueisfine.

Awful

No life is too short - got to song 2 on the album and gave up

Not for me

Poorly produced, noisy mess. Tripe!

Pop-raro-opresivo. Da pereza.

Hoge verwachtigen, maar die vielen flink tegen zeg...

Bah

Niet te doen dit.

p594. 1988. 1 star. A bloody mess more like. Badly mixed, tuneless noise, with no redeeming features. Lead vocalist can't sing. 38mins and 2 seconds of my life I'll never get back.

Really dull album none of the songs were any good and I wouldn’t listen to it again

Of þunglynt

Interesting, but not good. bad!

Could not get into any of the songs. Paused numerous times to listen to something else. Can't bring myself to rate anything higher. At least I finished the album.

Pop-raro-opresivo. Da pereza.

Was looking forward to this one, but boy did it dissapoint. If this is 1 of the 1001 i should listen too, well IDK. it seems like they didnt try!!!

Shoegazey. Dour. Noisy. Not really enjoying this.

Wow this is bad, tone deaf singers with no cohesion between guitar and drums. Skipped half the album.

Nah.

No thanks.

Cool name for a band, but this is just awful. I had to check to make sure I was listening to the right link. Who likes this? I can't understand what the guy is saying and the production is so poor on this that I can't tell if the guitars are distorted or just out of tune. The only talented person in the band is the drummer, but they can't carry the whole band. No, this is shit and deserves 1 star.

Wiec kolejny nowy albumik, tym razem powrot na brytyjskie wyspy, z tego co slysze mocno eksperymentalne brzmienie, podobno jeden z piobierow buto patrzennia, co dosc wyraznie slychac juz od pierwszego traka, ktory poza tym wyroznia sie overdubowanym wyciem blizej nie okreslonej kobiety przez caly kawalek, zagadka rozwiazana, bo banda sklada sie z czterech osob w tym pani bilindy, ktora nie tylko gitarkuje, ale takze daje wokale, wiec to tamten bacgroudnowy noise byl pewnie jej zasluga, pozostale instrumenty, to oczywiscie basior i drumsy, wiec bardzo skromna oprawa instrumentalna, ale kompozycje wykorzystuja duzo "noise" stad idealnie pasuje okreslenie noise rock/pop zaraz obok shoegazingu, nie byl to z pewnoscia latwy i przyjemny odsluch, ale to pewnie kwestia mojego anty noisowego gustu, warto dodac, ze album jest samo produkcja bandy, a najlepszym jego opisem jest sama okladka plyty, zdjecie czlonokow zespolu z takim noisem, ze praktycznie traci ono swoj wyraz, tak samo album ma takie moemnty, ze wokal jest przytloczony wszechobecnym halasem, sam mix jest strasznie nierowny, jesli chodzi o glosnosc trakow, nie pisze juz o samym wokalu, bo doslownie sa fragmenty gdzie sie on traci i tak polowy liryki nie jestem w stanie zrozumiec z samego sluchu, no ale to moze przez brytjskosc samego wokalu, bo zazwyczaj nie jest on niczym przyjemnym, a ten material potwierdza te regule, album ma momenty, ale jest ich za malo, na pleke leci nothing much to lose

Pretty much annoying from the start. The only positive is that it's different? Not in a good way.

I'm sure this album is very important and hugely impactful to some set of people. I am excluded from that set, however. The entire album felt like noisy droning to me. Not the worst 1 star I've listened to, but still wouldn't listen again.

Isn't Anything? Sounds about right.

Pretty boring

i thought this band was meant to be good? sounded like shoegazey crap, like the wussiest version of in utero or something
