Aug 25, 2022Cloud Nothing's "Attack On Memory" is a breathe of fresh air. They have a unique style and each track really shows that. sort of a nostalgia 90's guitar rock album

Mar 10, 2013Just one of the best indie albums of 2012, and also one of the best I've ever heard. The semi-improvised tracks are just awesome. This album has a soul, deep into post-hardcore (sometimes almost emo), and I love it.

Dec 8, 2012I picked this album up not knowing what to expect. I was surprised how awesome this album is. It has tons of energy and all the songs are catchy. I would most definitely give it a listen and consider it one of the best albums of 2012.

Jun 19, 2012Cloud Nothings have managed to create a beautifully authentic record, mixing sounds from alternative rock to punk and everything into between into one thrilling and creative experience.
The newest release is a widespread band effort, and as a result a much more unified, redeeming ride, similar to The Strokes -
Apr 9, 2012Seems like they are trying to revive the punk sound of the Ramones or the Sex Pistols or even Nirvana with none of the urgency exhibited by those bands.

Apr 8, 2012First two tracks (No future, no past and Wasted Days) are excellent, and the rest of the songs that follow after are enjoyable as well, but not nearly as strong as what composes the first third.

Feb 21, 2012God I love loud abrasive guitar rock and this is an album full of it.My personal favorite is "Wasted Days" about 9 minutes of pure noisy bliss.It is said they chose this direction so as to be able to improvise during their live shows, good decision boys.

Feb 19, 2012Attack On Memory is sort of a nostalgia 90's guitar rock album, that brings to mind last year's excellent "Yuck" by Yuck and vocals that sound like Silverchair's lead singer Daniel Johns.

Jan 30, 2012Not breaking any new ground here, but this band is alive. They put all their effort into these songs and it shows. Guitar rock isn't dead yet; Cloud Nothings beat every once of rock they can out of their instruments and the end result is a great soundtrack to the stressful vibrancy of 2012.

MojoFeb 27, 2012This album is barefaced '90s revivalism. [Mar 2012, p.97]
-
Q MagazineFeb 21, 2012This third effort sees the band step into darker territory, blending detuned guitars and Sonic Youth-esque dissonance with infectious pop-punk hooks. [Mar 2012, p. 100]
