Cloud Nothings - Life Without Sound (January 27, 2017) Album • Page 8

this band always plays the whole new record basically of whatever they just put out

 

I fuck heavily with the new record so I was stoked.

Wasted Days was so good live though wow

 

After their somewhat shaky career trajectory, the awesomeness of this album is borderline miraculous.

 

i'm intrigued by that post because i feel that their last record was easily their opus

 

Shaky trajectory? Oh that's right you don't like their two best albums do you

 

they're also basically two different bands, cut between right before attack on memory

 

Attack on Memory is a garbage record with two masterpiece songs. The last one was a few good steps back in the right direction. This one they stopped walking and started running.

 

Excuse me?

 

Oh Chris

 

i'm not sure i've ever seen an opinion about this band weirder than that one

 

I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

And I really hate Attack on Memory (except "Fall In" and "Stay Useless").

 

How do you not like no future/no past and wasted days, two perfect songs

 

or our plans or cut you or...

 

"Wasted Days" is actually solid. If I ever return to another song outside the two I mentioned, it's that one. The other one...pretty much emblematic of why I don't like the record. Haha

 

the dark, shouty stuff was really great on that record. albini's production on that record is so great

 

If you can call it that lol albini just sat in the room and read a news paper while Dylan did whatever he wanted apparently

 

Somehow this is the least surprising anecdote ever.

 

it was a dramatic difference from everything he'd done before and there's definitely albini influence from that record.
production wise i think it's better than the last one, though i think most things about here and nowhere else were better
even if he didn't do much it still rubbed off on dylan

 

How much of the Albini sound is people going "We hired Steve Albini! Let's make Steve Albini music" I wonder?

 

Just being in his studio changed the sound yeah I'm just saying albini can be quite hands off. Credit to the band more than him in this case imo

 

70-80%

 

It's like Rubin. It seems like saying "We should make an album with Rick Rubin" accomplishes exactly as much as hiring Rick Rubin.

 

Not liking Cut You is so weird to me

Copped the green marble at my shop this morning along with Crutchfield, good day

 

darkened rings - enter entirely - modern act is a hell of a stretch

 

This is good
