Loving this album, not gonna lie.

Phenomenal album, one if the best of 2012 so far

I do believe that La Dispute is the best modern analog for Fugazi and the old Dischord scene, and thought that would be a much more familiar reference for most readers.

definitely understand why u would reference la dispute, the hipster effect will kill some of the fanbase, but they have had that hipster slogan all along. i'm excited to hear what they do next because this record is too short and has alot of promise....i want to reiterate that the nirvana reference is a good thing, not enough bands sound like nirvana in a good way that claim to and this one continues to grow, just wish it was longer

lol at la dispute in the riyl.

love this album to death, such an improvement compared to their past work. Also the review is seriously spot on, this album seriously caught me off guard.

it makes sense why La Dispute would be in the RIYL on a site like this. cloud nothings may be a hell of a lot better than la dispute, but on this site that RIYL will get a lot more people to check this out.

Separation and No Sentiment are the JAMS, as is this entire album. I picked it up on vinyl today, one of my best purchases this year, you all should do the same.


great review Jeremy!

I thought the last album from Cloud Nothings was mostly garbage with only one or two songs even worth listening to, but this is far and away the best album I've heard this year. So definitely give it a shot!

Brilliant album. Came across the band while looking for some new rock music to listen to and it's the sort of thing i've been looking for.

My buddy just picked this up on vinyl. We decided we were going to just play words with friends on our phone while spinning the record and act completely uninterested.



( "Steve Albini played Scrabble on Facebook almost the entire time [we were recording]. I don't even know if he remembers what our album sounds like." http://pitchfork.com/news/45065-clou...roduced-album/ )

i expected to love this, but not nearly as impressed by this album as most of my friends. i like it but don't think it's amazing. great great review though, man! you've always been my favorite staff on ap and normally i agree with your shit, so i'm probably gonna give this a few more listens

Was really impressed by this.

I was hoping that I wasn't the only person that heard a big Nirvana influence.

This album is filthy, though. Definitely one of my favorites thus far.

I meant sonically, the way it was recorded. Not influenced. This sounds pole it was influenced from The Wipers.

That's pretty much what I'm saying. The "vibe" of the album reminded me of Nirvana.
