Every now and then I come upon an album that doesn't entirely sink in until well after my review, and I feel like I owe the artist an apology, because initially I gave them a mediocre review when in fact they created an incredibly dense and complicated work that not even I got on the first few passes. Some albums grow and grow and grow, and end up on top 10 lists at the end of the year when we never thought it possible. Already for me there is an album that I initially bagged on that now like Jack says to Ennis, 'I simply can't quit.' That album is Cloud Nothings' self-titled debut. I don't think there has been a single album since "It's A Shame About Ray" that I have hummed the hell out throughout the day. I listen to this album now at least once, usually twice, a day to satiate my need to hear these addictive brilliant pop-punk tracks. Of all the albums I have heard this year, this is the one that owns me, and my family, and everyone I can play this enough times to wear down their resistance. Buy this now. This is the kind of music that we all live for. Here is my initial review, but forget that. Just buy this and enjoy throughout the year, because it really is an amazing album regardless of what I said about it at first. "Been Through"
"Nothings Wrong"
