Japandroids - Near To The Wild Heart Of Life (Jan 27, 2017) Album • Page 31

Yeah I was happy she fell, she also came back into the crowd and was pitting really hard and got into a fight with someone.

Other than that and the fact they didn't play Evils Sway or Adrenaline Nightshift it was a perfect show lol

 

Halloween show was awesome but I was also super bummed the crowd wasn’t into Cloud Nothings. Weird that they’re not getting a big reaction on this tour, I would think those bands have a similar audience.

 

Yeah crowd was dead until Wasted Days, which they closed with

Hopefully they got a lot of new fans on the tour

 

Hopefully. They were also having huge technical issues at my show, one of their amps kept breaking and they played two of the songs instrumental because Dylan kept trying to fix it. Sooo, my crowd probably wasn’t too impressed lol.

 

The bassist and the other guitarist aren’t doing too much to help the show either. Drummer and Dylan killed it though

 

The drummer is absolutely insane

 

If I remember right, Cloud Nothings liked a tweet making fun of how Near To The Wild Heart of Life was forgotten so quickly a few months back, which I thought was funny.

 

i mean, sadly the new cloud nothings record has been forgotten by the general public as well

 

I definitely hadn't listened to either record for months until like last week. But they are both great

 

So it goes for early-in-the-year releases...

But I agree that both albums were unfortunately big step downs from the predecessors, NTTWHOL more so in my opinion.

 

Disagree. New CN is phenomenal, and at the very least on par with Here and Nowhere Else.

 

I think both new records are excellent

 

NTWHOL is still in my top ten for the year.

 

Also the same for me.

 

Most of the time I forget this album exists and the times I remember it I wish it didn't exist.

 

he honestly carries the bands live performance

 

I still regularly listen to the new Cloud Nothings, I can't say the same about the new Japandroids (not that I don't like it, just doesn't have me going back as much as their older stuff)

 

yeah this record is mediocre and their set wasn't that great either

cloud nothings however...

 

It's weird, because I really liked the new songs live when I saw them last year, but did not like the record at all.

 

i actually do like some of the songs on their own but as a record i don't care at all

 

If you just skip/remove Arc of Bar this album is really solid, if only half an hour long.

I don't have a problem with that song, on its own, but I certainly feel like it disrupts the flow/doesn't fit at all.

 

This is still my favorite album of the year. On par with Celebration Rock.

 

I still enjoy the album a lot.

 

I love Arc of Bar on record but it was not good live

 

yeah i love this album still
