So here's a Cloud Nothings thread

i think i like the direction they went on Life Without Sound more than the direction they went on this one, which, afaict, is as simple as "airier and poppier last time" vs. "punkier and less tuneful this time"

i do like the energy on the new one. they sound pissed ... as any sane person should be.

i love "dissolution" so much wow

quarantine album

this band sneakily rules

most recent post itt (by me) makes me laugh, cuz today i can't decide if Cloud Nothings is a really good band that's kinda boring or a mediocre band that has more than its share of killer moments

they're the war on drugs of poppy punk rock

A good band.

The new album is good.

they're really remarkably consistent at this point

I didn't like anything since "Attack On Memory" as much as that album but I do like the new one so far.

"Nothing Without You" sounds like a heartfelt Westerbergian screed which is never a bad thing.

Yeah I never don't like Cloud Nothings but I also don't think anything is ever going to jump into my brain the way "All The Time" did.

Yep can’t make up my mind whether they’re too samey in their tuneful, speedy way or impassioned and special

Digging this a lot, Albini is a good fit for these dudes.

I didn't realize I'd missed so many albums since Life Without Sound! Which of the three after that are worth checking out?

this good band's new album is good

for another side of this good band's good drummer i love this tape: https://gardenportal.bandcamp.com/album/beacon

Seeing the band for the first time Friday here in Philly. Only my second show back after COVID (and kind of my first since I saw Korn last week only because my son wanted to see them; I didn't hate it but I went primarily for him).
