Nothing Guilty of Everything (10 Year Anniversary Edition) LP (Silver Vinyl)

• DESCRIPTION

Nothing return with the 10th year anniversary edition of their landmark debut album, Guilty of Everything. Recorded and produced by Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, War on Drugs, etc), Guilty of Everything is a triumph of a debut that successfully manages to be massively loud, darkly introspective and totally beautiful all at once.

The Philly miserablists are the pre-eminent heavy shoegaze band of the last decade, and any track on this record - the careening 'Bent Nail,' the surging 'Hymn to Pillory,' the bashing 'Get Well,' the ballooning title track - demonstrate why.

Guilty of Everything is a fully realized, deeply affecting album that is bound to make fans of shoegaze, dream pop, or noise pop stop in their tracks and be amazed. (And maybe even convert a few metal fans who buy the record by accident.) It takes the tropes and traditions of those styles and totally owns them, while singing about life experiences that most sheltered gazers will likely never experience, but still making them sound relatable enough so that anyone who has ever suffered will understand. Forget about shoegaze or metal or noise rock or any other genre; this is stark, dramatic music that comes from pain and has been crafted into high art that will move and inspire listeners lucky enough to hear it.
