Cloud Nothings: Final Summer (Pure Noise) – review

Cloud Nothings released their new album, “Final Summer,” which has been met with mixed reviews. The band, known for their high-energy guitar rock, showcase their signature sound on the album, but some critics note a lack of melodic hooks to break through the noise.

The album, produced by Sarah Tudzin, features frontman Dylan Baldi’s corrosive guitars at the forefront, creating a cacophony of sound with drummer Jayson Gerycz and bassist Chris Brown holding down the rhythm. However, despite the intensity of the music, some reviewers feel that the melodies on “Final Summer” fall flat and become repetitive after a few tracks.

Baldi’s lyrics on the album touch on themes of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. Songs like “I’d Get Along” and “Common Mistake” convey a sense of making the most of life and overcoming challenges. Baldi’s straightforward yet powerful lyrics resonate with listeners, even if the music itself may lack some depth.

Overall, “Final Summer” receives a rating of 6/10 from critics, with some praising the band’s energy and intensity while others find the lack of memorable melodies a drawback. Cloud Nothings continue to carve out their niche in the indie rock scene with their raw, unfiltered sound, but on this album, they may have missed the mark in capturing the essence of their message.
