Today's album of the day is the newest album by Nothing titled The Great Dismal released just a few weeks ago as of this writing on Relapse Records. After a slight line-up shift, Nothing return with a record that captures the dread of living in the great year of our lord 2020. While the band still retains the shoegazey, 90's alternative rock style that they have been playing, though here, this seems to be on their more heavier style of their playing (not heavy as in metal though, but the tones here are definitely more thicker compared to songs on their other albums). There even is a slight political edge to some of these songs, which is inevitable for anyone who is living in these times that we are. That being said, their is still that emotional vulnerability that has always been present in their music, and that still remains at the forefront. The record really seems to live up to the title as the band seems to be genuinely tired of living life in these modern times (though this does not impact the quality of the music, mind you). Join in on the merry dread as this is the soundtrack to the collapse of our society.
