    With Attack On Memory, he's gotten closer to the big rock sounds in his head.

    Here, Cloud Nothings move past the slacker touches that marked their first releases, their gestures getting bigger and broader as they make attempts at emotional universality.

    The first song on this album blew me away. Then I heard the second track and was even more impressed. Fortunately the album doesn't falter much at all after that. These guys have some kind of energy and you can tell on every track. I heard the frontman is basically a teenager but I actually related pretty well to the lyrics. They do have kind of a throwback 90's sound and they most remind me of the Replacements. This is my favorite of the year so far and I already bought my ticket to see them live this weekend!… Expand
