This album has gotten over 30 plays all the way through (no sentiment and no future/no past have at least double that each) since i got it, and it's fantastic, thank you for showing me this.
LOVE IT. By the end of Wasted Days I was emotional from all the feeling that is given out in his voice and how much I relate to it. No Sentiment and No Future No Past.
I have to admit, I DID like their older work as well, but as you said, this is obviously more memorable and leaves a big impression.
The name "Attack on Memory," they said was an 'attack' of people's previous image of them.
I have only known about them a few months and they're one of my favorites.
I am lovin' the hell out of this album. It sounds a bit like a cross between Green Day, The Strokes, Fugazi, and Clarity-era Jimmy Eat World (cool emo). I'd give it a strong 9.
i found this one to be very generic sounding. like one of the countless bands that record modern punk/pop styled stuff in a basement. fugazi is way better than this.
Really enjoyed the review and agree with you after listening to it. The instrumentation is really tight, I just wish the vocals were more indie rock and less punk.
I'd love to hear what you have to say about Howler's album America Give Up.
I fuckin love this album and in particular 'No Sentiment'. Mainly because It reminds me of Nirvana's in utero album, but with that said, it sounds original and heavy in its own way. The emotions coming through are strong and honest which is what I look for in music.
I THOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUGGHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTT, I WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDD, BEEEEE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE, THAN THIS!!!!
STOP DOWNLOADING! Bands deserve to get paid. It doesn't make them "sellouts"..If your boss doesn't pay you for your job at Mc d's you are getting ripped off like downloaders rip off bands.Cool bands cant recoup costs from their labels and are getting dropped.We will be stuck with GaGa and Beiber cuz 12 yr olds pay for music more than "indie" kids do. It is also compromising the state of the internet.It's a human problem not a music problem.Give something back to music and the net.
@edibletalkingchairs ed-i could not agree more on the first track i streamed i said wow the production especially sounds so similar to in utero; then i found out Albini produced it. lol good ears huh
I have a sneaking suspicion that 'Attack On Memory' will be one of my favourite releases of 2012. It's unique, it's energetic, it has character and that jam on Wasted Days is incredible.
My biggest gripe with this band has officially been cured. The first album (Turning On, its worth a listen imho) was a bit too juvenile and generic, but definitely great music coming from a kid who dropped out of college at 19. In the two years since that release, it sounds like he's grown up a bunch and has just made his music more awesome.
Cloud Nothings, welcome to my skiing/workout playlist
This Cloud Nothings album is a breath of fresh-air. I know that sounded cliche, but this album sounds right. A nice, aggressive, rock-out, album. No Synths, Computer sounds, etc, etc. Solid songs.
Can't say Cloud Nothing's are my favorite indie rock band, but they do pack a punch on "Stay Useless", and I think I would enjoy them more in a live concert than the studio versions of some of their songs-sometimes I find that a lot of bands sound better live than they do on their albums.
Though our tastes in electronic music typically differ, please review Lindstrom's "Six Cups of Rebel." I'm curious what you'll think of what I consider a pretty damn great album (and "De Javu" is one hell of a track).
That feeling when you are driving through CT late at night and suddenly Anthony Fantano tells you in a calm voice that the BBC World Service is coming on.
@AlexVerdonMusic I was a big fan of Brand New, particularly "the devil and god are raging inside of me". but that was back in my angsty teenage years I'd still recommend it though
I agree with this review except for how you said the last album wasn't memorable. How could you not remember them repeating one line for a few minutes? Haha, anyways, great review!
Hello. I'd like it if you reviewed Becoming by Abigail Williams. In case you haven't heard it, it's a really ambient, experimental, black metal album that I think you would like.
I feel as though you reviewed this album twice with two different opinions and then spliced the two reviews together. It seemed like a lukewarm on the fence kind of review and yet it was given a light 8....
Thanks, Fantano. I've been really out of the loop with pretty much all of rock for the past year or so. I decided to watch this review, and it sounds like it's worth a listen or two.
I dug this album. It's an Albini record, yes, but it carries a unique spin on that sound that makes it stand out. Cloud Nothings have produced a very solid record here.
new sleighbells trk comeback kid: it's that annoying teen pop stuff, and that annoying teen punk stuff, but AT THE SAME TIME. boys and girls. (it's interesting.) do a track review? well they fixed the levels so it's not bursting into the reds w every crescendo. that was ur main gripe of their debut, right?
thank for feeling the same as i do about Lo-Fi. I don't feel as guilty now for basically writing off a whole genre. I find listening to Lo-Fi bands is a frustrating experience. Sometimes you can hear what may be a great song but it's been buried in this murky reverb drenched mix so in the end its easily forgettable. Ok yea.. thanks.. vent over...
