Letās hope so. The last one and the accompanying tour were way below what I expect from them.
Whaaaaaaaaaaat

Cover art, pre-order and further notes from Baldi here
This sounds really promising, but am I the only person who liked the last album? I still think these are two of their best songs.

Their last one was my favourite of theirās. Best hooks. Either way - new album - yay!

LOVE Cloud Nothings but yeah I was a bit underwhelmed with the last so very excited theyāre releasing a new one so quickly after the last.
In a January where Cloud Nothings and Japandroids both released new albums I was very surprised to find that I was listening to the latest Elbow album the mostā¦
No.

Are all your opinions that things should have been better received? Very similar to your thoughts about machina.
I love cloud nothings and the previous two were great and their gigs supporting Attack on memory and here and nowhere else were thrilling but life without sound was merely fine. Some reasonable songs but nothing close to their very best songs. Canāt even remember what the critical reception was like but both I and a friend who love them dearly separately reached the conclusion that the record was a bit meh.
Fair play if it really ticks your boxes but I find myself skipping tracks and would never choose it over the previous two to listen to all the way through.
Different strokes. Excited to see what the new stuff sounds like.
That is a fucking bananas opinion.

Iād say itās a much, much better song than Fall In and Stay Useless.

If it was on āHere And Nowhere Elseā itād be the worst song on it.
Also, this āI came to them later than mostā viewpoint is bullshit. I came to Smashing Pumpkins later than you and I think they arenāt a very good band. What credence does that weighting lend to your argument?

I think the three in question have a different tone, but all have elements of each other too and that a case could be made for any being the best or worst one. This is kind of reductive but Iād say
Attack on Memory is overall more dissonant sounding
Here and Nowhere Else is more propulsive and fluid (not sure if that makes sense) and very homogenous
Life Without Sound is overall more varied and melodic
Also, since itās never brought up, the collaboration album they did with Wavves is fantastic.
