jrodan Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 that being said, this is a really nice collection. Ride, Grouper, New Order, Low, and Concrete Blonde covers are all terrific and Pattern After Us is one of the best Nothing songs ever written. kinda a bummer it is relegated to a b-side.

Who knows, maybe if they notice a lot of request about a vinyl pressing, Relapse can decide to press it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethereal Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 apparently Doyle from Cloakroom quietly replaced Brandon? Wonder what happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what happened Brandon's been completely under the radar for quite some time, and they haven't addressed the fans about it. Hopefully he's doing alright, and that it wasn't due to personal friction between them. He's an essential part of the band IMO.

brandy Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Just saw them on their ongoing Asia tour. They're definitely chill dudes and I did ask Doyle if he has permanently joined the band. He didn't answer me directly about it but I do hope he has. A great songwriter he is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Not that they're obligated to explain any line-up changes, but I kind of find it funny that they get new members without any explanation at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyvacantsholyhell Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Huh... the idea of Doyle taking over is intriguing but as I understood it Brandon was just as involved in the songwriting process as Nicky, so this is worrisome at least a little bit. magickspells 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotta' people seemed to insist that "you just get used to" the production on this album. But 2 years later and my ears still struggle with how neutered it sounds. Sometimes I daydream about a new Nothing album with proper oomph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong. It just sounded like it needed a 20-year remaster the first time I played it. 14 minutes ago, holyvacantsholyhell said: It just hurts to listen to, those highs, man. The highs are what kill you, eh? It's been a little bit since I've gone back to my copy but I distinctly recall the guitars being so very unsatisfying. The momentum is where it needs to be and instead of a payoff it's just mega tinny, muffled guitar teasing. Or so my memory suggests. I'll give it another spin and see if I'm remembering it worse that I really am... but I know I was in a minority when I last complained about it in 2018.

Oh I love the album, it has some amazing tracks, I just know the mix will give me a headache so it’s been a minute since I’ve listened to any of it. I’ll throw on the record tomorrow and see if I feel any different. Edited June 2, 2020 by holyvacantsholyhell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeKaye Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I'm a huge Nothing fan, played GoE every week for years, loved ToT in parts, but I haven't listened to Dance... more than 4 times. I want to give it another chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I love DOTB and its LoFi shit sound. It's one of the few albums that pulled it of IMO. Also good on them with the Bandcamp Bail Fund cause OneThreeOneTwo and Mars 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
