"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," Butcher told Spin magazine. "Maybe that's why it's languorous. I'm usually trying to remember what I've been dreaming about when I'm singing."
Music wasn't the only thing to interrupt the band's dreams during the album sessions, which took place in Wales at a studio in the English countryside. Kevin Shields explained in a Spin interview: "We were in this valley, OK, in the middle of nowhere, with like, lots of sheep. But the sheep were incredibly noisy, really horrible. Every time we wanted to sleep, there were thousands of sheep milling about, making really corny sheep noises. I mean, sheep sound like people imitating sheep. But that wasn't as bad as the jets. About two hundred feet above our heads. It'd be like silence, and all of a sudden there'd be virtually a sonic boom of noise, like an explosion above your head."
This also lends its title to an EP, also released in 1988.
Isn't Anything topped the UK Independent Chart. When a re-mastered version was released in 2012, it peaked at #61 on the UK Albums Chart.

My Bloody Valentine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you can't have what you can't
Hey, what's come down over me
It's the way you stood, it's the way you stood
'Cause things the way they are
I guess you might go real far
Oh, come lie down close to me
Do what you dare, oh I don't care
I will get what I can see
I'll crawl over there, I'll crawl over there
(Spread me like a) (appeal to you)
I do what I do I do what I will do
Crave, your kiss will set you free
I'll do what I should, I'll do what I should

Sí, puedes obtener lo que ves
Pero no puedes tener lo que no
Oye, ¿qué me ha pasado?
Es la forma en la que existes, es la forma en que existes
Porque las cosas como son
Supongo que podrías ir muy lejos
Así que aliméntame con tu beso
Oh, ven acuéstate cerca de mí
Haz lo que quieras, oh, no me importa
Obtendré lo que puedo ver
Me arrastraré por allí, gatearé por allí
Porque las cosas como son
Supongo que podrías ir muy lejos
Así que aliméntame con tu beso
Extendida, apelando a ti
Hare lo que quieras, haré lo que quiera
Anhelo que tu beso me liberaré
Haré lo que sea necesario, haré lo que sea necesario
Porque las cosas como son
Supongo que podrías ir muy lejos
Así que dame de comer con tu beso
