Too bloody right! 5 tracks and everyone a winner. Slow and Thorn are two of my all time favourite MVB tracks.

You would probably be better off starting with Loveless to be honest. It has a very different sound to Isn't Anything.

This is Your Bloody Valentine kind of sounds like a cheap Bauhaus/goth-era-Damned/Birthday Party rip-off.

Ecstasy & Wine is amazing though.

I think Loveless is their best album. Aren't I original.

I have 11 folders of music by MBV, 3 albums, and the rest EPs and whatnot. Out of those, "You Made Me Realise" is my most played at the moment.

I thought MBV was on to an interesting idea, fusing Jesus and Mary Chain noise pop with the ethereal rhythms of Cocteau Twins, but lacked the song-writing prowess to turn this into a classic. The good songs tend to sound similar and the boring ones stagnant and would benefit if they'd been shortened (filler perhaps?). The publicity it received in the early 90's was very good, making many top 10 lists, but has waned recently, because it’s one of those albums that’s decent, but derivative.
