Nothing’s Lost is a more stately affair, flaunting van Petegum’s growth as a producer without losing his child-like talent for awkward emulation.
-
80Post-modern pop hasn't sounded this good since the Postal Service. [Dec 2004, p.110]
-
80Nothing's Lost is heavier, denser and in its best moments, verges on pop nirvana.
-
Think the Postal Service, but with more instrumentation and experimentation. [Feb 2005, p.94]
-
80Nothing's Lost is slick and rich, packed with melody and rhythm.
-
There’s no getting around it: this sentimental, electronically-hackneyed glitch-pop shit can be remarkably effective.
-
Styrofoam represents the part of the Morr Music roster where the first three letters of the label's name might as well stand for "middle of the road."
-
The songs are stronger than ever. [Apr/May 2005, p.139]
-
A solid, if not predictable emo-tronic excursion.
-
There's not a moment on Nothing's Lost that justifies the attention of any of his contributors. [#8, p.117]
-
It simply lacks even the remotest kind of emotional weight, favoring that emo-lite, predictable kind of melodic progressions that make you swoon the same way a hot muffin on a cold day might.
-
33Nothing's Lost is a well-meaning record that just got its priorities mixed up. These tech'd-up tearjerkers can out bench press anyone in terms of sonic fodder, but the album is whiny, transparent, and a colossal hodgepodge.
