"Isn't Anything" is My Bloody Valentine's debut full-length studio album, released on 21 November 1988 on Creation Records. The album's innovative instrumental and production techniques consolidated the experimentation of the group's preceding EPs, and would make it a pioneering work of the style known as shoegazing.
Most of the album was recorded in a studio in Wales. While recording the album over a period of two weeks, the band got by on about two hours sleep a night. Bilinda Butcher described the effect of this: "Often, when we do the vocals, it's 7:30 in the morning: I've usually fallen asleep and have to be woken up to sing. Maybe that's why it's languorous. I'm usually trying to remember what I've been dreaming about when I'm singing."
Isn't Anything has subsequently become regarded as one of the greatest albums of the 1980s. The album has been included in The Guardian??'?s list of "1000 Albums to Hear Before You Die" and ranked as number 16 in their "Alternative Top 100 Albums" list. The album was also ranked number 24 in The Irish Times??'? list of "Top 40 Irish Albums Of All Time," selected by Pitchfork Media staff as number 22 on their "Top 100 Albums of the 1980s" list, and listed at number 92 on Slant Magazine's list of "Best Albums of the 1980s". Uncut writer David Stubbs has called Isn't Anything "one of the most important, influential British rock albums of the eighties". In its 2013 update, the NME ranked the album at 167 in its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
