Basically I don't really like to rate things, because if I make a top 10 of something, the stuff is all pretty interchangable. Instead of the ice cream, use this metaphor. You've got several children. Which one do you love the most? You might love them all equally or love them all in different ways. That is how I am with bands, albums, songs, etc.
Basically Allhandsonthebadone, to me saying that Loveless isn't comparable to Isn't Anything is like saying that you can't compare electric music to acoustic music because it is further evolved or something.
Loveless is a much prettier, dreamier, and more coherent album and it is pretty damn close to perfect in respects to that. But it does have its flaws. But for me I can be in an Isn't Anything mood or a Loveless mood. Loveless is an entirely different album than Isn't Anything. But to say Isn't Anything is shit in comparison is just really unfair.
I actually prefer some of the guitar tones on Isn't Anything. Like the intro/outro tone on Cupid Come, Sueisfine, and the intro/chorus on You Never Should. It is obvious on Isn't Anything that they hadn't perfected their methods quite yet. . . but there are cool concepts on the album. Like the drums on the chorus of Lose My Breath and on the whole song No More Sorry.
For me there is a certain beauty to imperfection though.
Oh BTW At Sonic Park, I actually really love the drum sounds on Loveless. Different strokes I guess.
