    This might well be the finest example of the genre since My Bloody Valentine perforated their first eardrum. [Summer 2014, p.91]

    Individually, tracks like ‘Hymn To The Pillory’ and ‘Somersault’ aren’t particularly staggering, but as a whole body of work it really is something else.

    It's not that they're reinventing the wheel but as Guilty of Everything shows, they make beautiful art out of introspective melodies, gutwrenching shoegaze and explosive crescendos.

    Guilty of Everything offers shockingly little beyond what was already on offer by the mid-‘90s. Yet as it so happens, the record fares remarkably better than most of those moldy oldies they’ve already been compared with, albeit for banal reasons.

    Guilty of Everything is the sort of first album that takes itself too seriously in the most endearing way--it's something that must be purged before a band can move on.

    While traces of heaviness remain--see the cacophonous climax to "B&E"--Guilty really finds itself in tender moments. [Apr 2014, p.78]

    Forget about shoegaze or metal or noise rock or any other genre; this is stark, dramatic music that comes from pain and has been crafted into high art that will move and inspire listeners lucky enough to hear it.

    The 40 minutes of Guilty are a storm of shoegaze, noise-rock, and slow-core, surging together into something lovely and lethal.

    Occasionally, this style of music gives way to too much meandering or noise for the sake of it, but Nothing's melodic and encompassing LP debut is guilty of neither. [Apr 2014, p.92]

    Guilty of Everything is thus an emotional affair, but it's balanced by moments of grandness.

    Guilty of Everything is loud, it’s distorted and it’s heavy, but it’s not aggressive. It’s actually quite comforting.

    More assuage than assault, Nothing gives warm hugs really loudly.

Nothing's Guilty of Everything is easily up there with the greats like Slowdive, Lush, Ride, My Bloody Valentine and other bands of their genre. The album flows seamlessly from song to song with loud striking drums and even louder fuzzed out guitars and of course the low, almost dream like vocals, typical of the genre but with a real spin on the typical sound. Nothing manages to define themselves and their signature sound among a genre that is bursting with sound-alike bands.… Full Review »
