I actually don't think Loveless is very great. Shocker, I know, but I think it's the worst thing they recorded. Some great songs, awesome guitar textures, but damn if the drum sound isn't tinny as fuck, half of the songs are plodding and grungy (the whole middle of the album draaaaaaaaags, and Only Shallow is very overrated).. .sometimes, soon, when you sleep, what you want, and loomer are AMAZING, but the rest? eh...
On the other hand, Isn't Anything is amazing. Yeah, it has it's grungy song (Feed Me with Your KISS), but that is a fucking jam.
ALL the songs on Isnt Anything are creative, catchy, and dreamy.. the perfect encapsulation of what MBV did right.
Loveless is a masterpiece for a completely different reason, but it's more of a studio masterpiece, which doesn't thrill me as much as it used to. Back in the day, I dug the shit out of Loveless, but that was before hearing the EP's and Isn't Anything. Isn't Anything is perfect. Loveless... a dream, but god I will never understand how anyone can prefer it to the much more consistent and interesting Isn't Anything.
I also prefer On Avery Island to Airplane over the Sea....................
