1. “Untitled I”
First song is “titled” “Untitled 1” It deserves that title. Sounds like someone had a good idea for a song, but gave up halfway through — Jonk Music (@jonkmusic) June 29, 2015
2. “How’s It Gonna Go”
Second song says “I don’t know at all how it’s gonna go” I was thinking the same about this album.

Song 2’s lyrics are super corny, but the guitar solo and overall energy somewhat make up for it at the end. — Jonk Music (@jonkmusic) June 29, 2015
3. “Come Down”
Not sure if my ears are still broken from the Death Grips concert last night or what, but it sounds like they recorded this in a cave.

4. “Hard to Find”
5. “Untitled II”
At the halfway point of the album, we come to “untitled 2” Cool ambient sounds, but it’s just as unnecessary as untitled 1 — Jonk Music (@jonkmusic) June 29, 2015
You read that correctly, we’re already halfway done More than half of these songs are less than 2:15. Kills all the momentum in this album.

6. “Nervous”
1 minute in, the sixth song starts to sound like an actual song. Too bad it’s only 2 minutes long — Jonk Music (@jonkmusic) June 29, 2015
7. “No Life for Me”
The 7th song is solid. Makes you think what this album could’ve been if they spent a little more time working through the rest…

8. “Such a Drag”
9. “Nothing Hurts”
The last song builds to something that makes you realize this could’ve been a great album, but then abruptly ends after a minute 46 seconds — Jonk Music (@jonkmusic) June 29, 2015
In conclusion…
I liked all or parts of 2, 7, 8, and 9, but overall it just seems like a Ty Segall album that exists just to exist

If they would’ve flushed out their ideas more and recorded outside of a cave, this album had potential. I give it 2.5 out of 5 pandas 🐼🐼⚪️ — Jonk Music (@jonkmusic) June 29, 2015
This concludes the @wavves x Cloud Nothings album live tweet. Carry on tweeting about Bo Ryan.
