After hearing Cloud Nothings for the first time via their most recent album released earlier this year, I was interested in what other stuff the band did. Originally Cloud Nothings was a one man band made of main member Dylan Baldi performing power-pop, happy-go-lucky songs. But I didn’t listen to those. Instead I went straight to “Attack on Memory“, the first album where he expressed his anger and raw feelings into his music, this time with three other people, in order to make us and himself forget about that past.

That’s the album “Fall In” is on. Lyrically, I am not sure what I can say about it. Sure, there are lyrics in it but whether there is real meaning behind them is debatable. Baldi has stated that he doesn’t care for lyrics, and normally writes them the day before recording, which more or less means that the music is the important thing to take note on in this case.

Musically, it’s very fast. And loud. Cloud Nothings has a superb drummer if you didn’t know. Seems to hit them harder and at a more furious pace than any other band I’ve heard of late. It’s the same on this track too. Would think the guy has an extra limb or something. The music during the choruses confuses me a bit too. I can’t count along to it. It sounds like the vocals and guitars are going at a completely different time to the drums. It’s all in 4/4 though, listen to the drums closely enough and you’ll be able to get it soon enough.

Sorry for the late post too, caught got up in some reading.
