    After hearing Tired of Tomorrow, I became an instant fan of Nothing. I really enjoy their first two albums, but Dance on the Blacktop doesn't cut it at all. It lacks motivation, production value, and the songwriting chops I heard from previous albums

    Dance is best enjoyed when you accept its familiar pleasures--it bursts with pure deliverance, coming from a band that refuses to hang in life support.

    While Dance on the Blacktop won’t mean everything to everyone, its considered construction, intriguing philosophising and plain old barbed-wire hooks mean it’s certain to mean everything to someone.

    Not only do they bring back their best traits, Nothing absolutely perfects a diverse sound they've been trying to nail for some time. Not that they were bad at it, quite the opposite, but here, refining and honing finally pays off.
