"Not entirely sure how to feel about this record at the moment as out of a personal opinion I prefer the heavier stuff they have released on their other records. This album can still be loud and a load of angst. Cloud Nothings have not proved me wrong yet." Reply

"Well, thankfully it's not a return to the follys of Carnival Of Light or Tarantula. They're still the same band that made those records, but more importantly they're still the same band that made Nowhere or Going Blank Again. To be specific, this is the direction Ride should have taken in 1993, w..." [+] Reply

"Yep, I don't see anything this year beating this album. Beforehand it was Pallbearer's Heartless as my AOTY. This beats that by a margin, the nostalgia is real. I'm finally listening to fantastic stoner rock again, thank you Elder!" Reply

"He's kind of an R&B Lorde. Sparse instrumentals, infectious melodies, lyrics come from a young place, husky delivery. He just doesn't have the same detail in his songwriting that Lorde does.

"The beauty of tension. One track. 83 minutes. An unending feeling of loss." Reply
