Absolute nonsense.
madness
I canât say I thought the last was any great departure either tbh. Thought maybe the main guy didnât do it many favours ahead of release by indicating it was at once a difficult writing process and also some sea change (canât remember but didnât he call it easy listening or something?)
The crucial difference with this campaign is that heâs put some trousers on for the new press photos.
Just 2.6k posts to go, lads
Thatâs fine. Glad you like it. The more people that like and buy cloud nothings stuff the better.
I find their ânoisierâ songs (including that new one) a bit boring to be honest, think theyâre much better when they go more direct - Here and nowhere else, Stay Useless, Fall in etcâŚ
Which is probably why I liked the most recent album the most - itâs consistently great the whole way through, whereas the others are way more peaks and troughs.
Itâs probably more the fact that you assume Life Without Sound wasnât received that well because people are underwhelmed by âjust another consistently good albumâ. Itâs a bit âtin-hatâ
They actually use the phrase âreturn to formâ. You donât shit on a record from last year unless you know it was a mistake
That could be speaking to the part of the fan base that they know they alienated in order to generate excitement. But even if itâs genuine, artists arenât necessarily perfect at assessing their prior output (Radioheadâs revised tracklist for HTTT for instance, and recently Ben Gibbard ranking the Death Cab albums).
despite not liking the last album that much they were fucking great in Leeds, blew The Hotelier out the water, probably cos they only played like one track from the newest album i guess
âŚnothing about my reply suggests you shouldnât like the album. You just made assumptions about why others didnât like it
The last album is fucking amazing. Seriously considering a temporary ban for @Icarus-Smicarus and @shinymcshine
What I donât like is this quote
âI wrote this because I feel like there arenât too many rock bands doing this right now,â says frontman Dylan Baldi. âA lot of the popular bands with guitars are light. They sound good, but itâs missing the heaviness I like.â
which feels like something out of the NME 2001 playbook of Indie bullshit.
Also why is there a European version?
and a non Euro one
?
Itâs good if youâre into Weezer and stuff I guess?
Well Weezer are a classic example of a great band that did one album and then fucked off never to tarnish their image so we canât really compare like with like.
A few bandsâ bandcamps have this, namely Goat and King Gizzard. Not sure why, always presumed itâs something to do with physical edition shipping options, setting them up to ship from two different locations or something? Not sure if two versions are necessary for that, who knows.
Yeah I guess that makes sense. Wasnât sure if there was a tax aspect maybe but I think Bandcamp handle that side.
New song is pretty solid, but any track that lets the drummer show off his mad chops is good with me.
oh itâs kicking off now lads!!!
maybe Cloud Nothings can test this theory by releasing their third good album
